আমি পথভোলা এক পথিক এসেছি

ami pathbhola ek pathik esechi।
sandhjabelar chameli go, sakalbelar mallika
amay chen ki।’
‘chini tomay chini, nabin panth–
bane bane ore tomar rangin basanprant।
phagun prater utla go, choitr rater udasi
tomar pathe amra bhesechi।’
gharchara ei pagaltake eman k’re ke go dake
karun gunjri,
jakhan bajiye bina baner pathe berai sanchri।’
‘ami tomay dak diyechi ogo udasi,
ami amer manjri।
tomay chokhe dekhar age tomar sbapan chokhe lage,
bedan jage go–
na chinitei bhalo besechi।’
jakhan phuriye bela chukiye khela tapt dhular pathe
jab jhara phuler rathe–
takhan sangg ke labi’ ‘lab ami madhbi।
jakhan biday-bashir sure sure shukno pata jabe ure
sangge ke r’bi।
ami rab, udas hab ogo udasi,
ami tarun karbi।
‘basnter ei lalit rage biday-bjatha lukiye jage
phagun dine go
kadan-bhara hasi hesechi।
