Jibon-japon!

Ghash-fool er prithibi

Prothom khando

Banglar mathey ghatey ekhon sobujer somaroho. Baisakher sushko prithibi tey ek tukro sobuj. Ghash, fool, ki bichitro tar roop. Eki ange bhinno roop. Ghash fool!

Aamra jokhon koishorey, jokhon ashe pashe brishti hoto, aamrao moner janalagulo khule ditam. Ek notun sobujer anubhuti labher ashay. O barir janlay jodi keu daray! Bashona, asha, ichhe! Chokhe tokhon sobuj, mon ta uru-uru, aar kanthey--tomar khola hawa!

To, dibbi cholchhilo. Ekdin hothat janala ta khullo, aamader moner gach-pala gulo jeno pelo ek fota barshar amej. Aamader mon gulo ajantei rabindrik hoe uthlo, Tomar khola hawa-y!

Bhonita ta ekpashe shoriye rakhai bhalo. Soja kotha soja mone, kholakhuli bole feli. Career kendrik sohure ei nak-uchu bangiya bir pungab er jiboneo barsha esechilo. Prem. Ekbar i esechhilo, nirobe!

Gangar dharey chora porchhilo totodiney, steamer er shobdogulo tokhon aar mon kharap korato na, tokhon nil aakasheo nki chand uthto. Boka bakshe Sachin shotoran korleo hattali jutto na tar Gariar barita theke. Tokhon ami aar Bleed Blue noi, tokhon amar moneo ghash-fool!

Sandhyer sohorey barsha namto, barshasnato hotam. Ek shib thakurer jotar dike cheye thaktam. Tar dikey! Jota dhore tan marle ekta udyan pawa jeto. Petam khuje, take!

Mon bhalo korar osudh chhilo ghore. Ek polokei mon bhalo korar jadukathi tao sombhoboto tokhon tar hathei. Aamio montro mughdo hoe hariye jetam jadur deshe. Elomelo hawa, bhasiye dito mon, rangiye dito hridoy, aar ke jeno pashe eshe gungun korto, "Tomar khola hawa!"

Bhabchen pagoler prolap. Bhabtei paren. Bhabchen nei kaaj toh khoi bhaaj. Besh, tobe bhaja khoi i khan. Aamar golpo bolar, aami bolchi.

Thik ebhabei aalap tar sathey. Steamer ta chhere geche ghat, bho bho sobdey chayer dokani atankito. Aamra boshey. Tomar khola hawa.

Chirokal bhitu bole bodnaami tokhon ghochar pathey, chirokele ghumkatureypona tokhon jay-jay. Aamar moner kone tokhon roj barsha namey, aar sobuj gulo fer pran paay. Oi je bollam, aamar o tokhon ghas-fool er prithibi!
