ঘুরছিলাম মেঘের মতন
যা উপত্যকা ও পাহাড়ে ভাসে,

By his still determination,
Among those competitors living a depressed life.

No one to cheer, no one to love
Family, friends, I have none.

For your love's sake by virtue of thine.'
I am not a poet, seemed quite tough,
But tried my best and made one rough.

'No pain, no gain'is just a farce,
I saw people in pain losing all they had...
I, a silent onlooker only stood and watched,
This makes me more and more sad.

He belongs to the elite class,
With books, pen and rhyme
Tours, seminars and festivals
The ideal of our time.
