Sayeed Abubakar Poems

An innocent boy leaving the lap of mom
Opened his fearful eyes in the war-trodden world
And asked in a depressed voice, 'Where have I come? '
I told him the name of earth.
...

You and me
Me and you
Flower-bee
Grass and dew.
...

Forget me not,
Forget not me.
Forget day hot,
Keep night with thee.

How many poems you have written, o Tagore!
How many poems, o Jibanananda Das!
How many immortal pictures you have drawn, o Zainul!
How many songs you have composed, o Nazrul!
...

A rose has bloomed so far,
I get smell, can't see her.

A rose has bloomed so high,

Those who will read this poem composed in tears
After one hundred years;
Remember, this day of three twelves, we swore
We would love like no others loved before;
...

[Dedicated to the dead rivers of Bangladesh]

Once these paths were rivers,
These fields the processions of water.
...

I have forgotten her face once I loved.
I have forgotten her name once I recited in dream.
...

I am like a caged bird
Does not ever get tired
To find the way to fly
In the lovely blue sky.
...

Break down all the walls,
All the boundaries;
The whole world is a country
Where we live.
