Mone pode...

Mone pode – shanto dupure, ghumonto ghar-gulike phele, shei chupi share chate java
Kokil-er kolotan o onyanno pakhi-r kujon-a,
Mone pode shei cheda o podano pata-gulir kotha
Udonto pakhi-gulike dekhe mon bole,’chai ami mukti’.

Mone pode – shei dhovate, bhije ratri-gulir kotha
Abar hote chai tokhonkar moto dhridomona
Chai ami mukti – shomporkohin bondhon-er theke mukti
Bandhte chai shompork-er shathe bondhon

Mone pode – shei duti dupur – shei bedona bhora, anubhuti-r dupur duti-r kotha
Chai ami phire aashte
Khone khone mon bole,’aar parchi na’
Kintu jaani, je aamay parte hobe

Mone pode – shudhu mone pode
Hariye phelechi nijeke ayi ‘mone poda’-r majhe
Keno chai dure jete? Keno chai bhule jete?
Phire pete chai, nijeke ami phire pete chai!

Moment with so much...

She lives for the present, doesn’t carry her past with her & is very whimsical when it comes to maintaining a relation.
When I expressed my fears, all that she said was, ”Don’t worry! If I ever see you in future, I will not fail to recognize you .I will definitely come up & speak to you.”
She kept her word.
I heard my name & turned back to look into those familiar eyes. An unexpected, spontaneous hug followed, taking both by surprise. Oh yes! This was the same person who had vanished so many months back. There was again that same feeling - feeling of warmth. Luke warm blood flushed through my face. Explainable, was it?
Then those eyebrows rose to pose a ‘which?’ & it took only seconds to understand
‘which’.
We parted & there was that same old silence. Once again there was that loneliness in a crowd – in the midst of friends.
Only a sense of completeness can make ‘that’ loneliness relinquish.

An err – importance given to emotions.
