Kazi Nazrul Islam Poems

The martyr's Eid has come today.
On the martyr's head rests his blood-stained cap.
In the name of God he begs of us all;
...

The more I take Muhammad's name
The sweeter it seems to me.
Who knew before that in this name
So much of honey could be!
...

At the end of the rolIing road, my dearest, I await alone;
Rolling in the dust of the path you have traveled.
...

The moon descended from your sky'
to play in sea-water,
the embankment is erected
lest it does not flee, far and near,
...

Dreams want wedding, but separation as you wake up.
I take it a cruel game, though indifferently.
Sometime light sometime shadow
what an illusion beyond reason!
...

O travellers on the road of destruction,
Hold fast your hammer, pick up your shovel,
Sing in unison and advance.
...

Diving in the eastern sea there rises the golden sun;
nightly tears rolled down and bloomed into flowers, too.
...

When I shall be no more
You will suffer, I promise,
Cursed, friendless and alone.
Then you will ask the evening star about me,
...

Do not cast that look
Again and again
With those tearful eyes
Oh those eyes with pain!
...

In the ecstasy of creation today
Laughs my face, smile my eyes
Glows my boiling blood
In the brook of my shuttered soul
...
