Some Verses


Some verses...
- Amlan Chaudhuri

Be(n)dhechhe Eman-o ghar
ShuNyer upar po(n)jtaa ka're ....
Dhanya dhanya ba'li tare!
[ What  a house He has built in thin air!
But how firmly founded!
Bravo, bravo to him!]

Lalon Shah phokir.


O re, noukaar upar Ganga Bojhaai ..............................................
[ It's a scary game to watch:
A boat loaded with a river, sails on dry land.
The river's name is the Water of Life.
You can find it in the microcosm.
In a wink of an eye it overflows its banks,
In a wink it dries up, too!]

the title song from Ritwik Ghatak's " The River Called Titas"
