I Remember, Amigo By Anwara Syed Haq Poem by Raj Reader

Do you remember, amigo

The days when the divine light descended from the sky and

The smell of burning men smoked all around?


Do you remember, amigo

The days when you and I sowed our future

In the furious wave and

In our womb carried the victory of our unborn children?


Do you remember, amigo

The days when we are in our vigorous youth and

The murmuring rivers had incessant melody

When we were aware putting aside the death fear

Of bomb and gunpowder,

We washed our dreams with the peals of victory and

Thick milk of someone's cow?


Do you remember, amigo

The days of independence,

And the Nakshi Kanthaupon the wide mat

In the yard

And an immortal name imprinted with golden alphabet

Is Sheikh Mujibur Rahman?
