Abhiman

boimela ki tomar-amar...na guild er,
high court er, poribesh premir.
na ki bhater thalay kobita mele dhora
sei panchasordho kobir,
je ekhon ar prokashoker khonj kore na.
moidan theke saltlake, park-circus ghure
se porijayir mato melechhe dana,
bolchhe amake chhoriye dao kolkatar
akashe-batashe.
college street er ek kone pore thaka
chander pahar ba ha-ja-ba-ra-la
ar ki sajte chay na abhimaner taronay!
ora to tao dekhechhilo
sajano stall theke parom jatne
kibhabe pounchhe jaoa jai
dhuloheen, dushanheen naram bichhanay;
kintu je kobitar boiti aj cheyechhilo
sei pratham adorer galpo sonate,
du patar bhanje dhulo chepe rekhe
se ki ar mukh khulbe na...eki abhimane!
