Kazi Nazrul Islam Poems

Him whom I could not then love much
Why do I now remember thus at this late
hour, a Mother?
Today I remember every night he lulled
...

Travellers to a new destination, March ahead,
Cry out loud, 'man is heroic.'
Everywhere the cowards crowd, come and playa new game.
Take your boat into the tidal waves and ride triumphantly
...

Drunk with tile wine of divine love
I am oblivious of all.
Abandoning the mosque my leader comes this way
I hear him call.
...

I sing of Heroes -
The youth, the revolutionary,
Who armed with a sharp Excalibur
Today go forth in all directions
...

If I was Daddy and Daddy was Khoka (that's me),
if he didn't finish memorizing the multiplication tables I'd tap him on the head!
...

You lingeringly watch in the mirror the reflection of your face
And proud of your beauty you don't care to look at me.
...

Inside and outside, equally -
always be stronger, ever!
The more bad times approach,
be firm and don't yield. Never!
...

It's dawn, -
Open the door,
Wake up, Khukumoni!
The jasmine flowers
...

I am a poet of today, not a prophet of a future day,
Poet or worthless, call me whatever, I put up with anything you say.
Some say, to the future you belong,
Your place, as a poet, tomorrow will come along.
...

In your jail you care for us to the hilt,
blessed you are, blessed you are!
This song of mine is in your honor,
blessed you are, blessed you are! !
...
