remains unsung to this day.

of wishing in my heart . . .”

“নক্ষত্রপুঞ্জের মতো জলজ্বলে পতাকা উড়িয়ে আছো আমার সত্তায়।
মমতা নামের প্রুত প্রদেশের শ্যামলিমা তোমাকে নিবিড়
ঘিরে রয় সর্বদাই। কালো রাত পোহানোর পরের প্রহরে
শিউলিশৈশবে 'পাখী সব করে রব' ব'লে মদনমোহন
তর্কালঙ্কার কী ধীরোদাত্ত স্বরে প্রত্যহ দিতেন ডাক। ...তুমি আর আমি,

অবিচ্ছিন্ন পরস্পর মমতায় লীন,
ঘুরেছি কাননে তাঁ নেচে নেচে, যেখানে কুসুম-কলি সবই
ফোটে, জোটে অলি ঋতুর সংকেতে।

আজন্ম আমার সাথী তুমি,
আমাকে স্বপ্নের সেতু দিয়েছিলে গ'ড়ে পলে পলে,
তাইতো ত্রিলোক আজ সুনন্দ জাহাজ হয়ে ভেড়ে
আমারই বন্দরে।”
― Shamsur Rahman
