Michael Madhusudan Dutt, or Michael Madhusudan Dutta (Bangla: মাইকেল মধুসূদন দত্ত) was a popular 19th-century Bengali poet and dramatist. He was a pioneer of Bengali drama. Madhusudan is widely considered to be one of the greatest poets in Bengali literature and the father of the Bengali sonnet. He pioneered what came to be called amitrakshar chhanda or blank verse (Bangla:অমিত্রাক্ষর ছন্দ). His famous work, মেঘনাদবধ কাব্য, is a tragic epic.

“হে বঙ্গ, ভাণ্ডারে তব বিবিধ রতন;
তা সবে, (অবোধ আমি!) অবহেলা করি,
পর-ধন-লোভে মত্ত, করিনু ভ্রমণ
পরদেশে, ভিক্ষাবৃত্তি কুক্ষণে আচরি।
কাটাইনু বহু দিন সুখ পরিহরি।
অনিদ্রায়, নিরাহারে সঁপি কায়, মনঃ
মজিনু বিফল তপে অবরেণ্যে বরি; —
কেলিনু শৈবালে; ভুলি কমল-কানন!
স্বপ্নে তব কুললক্ষ্মী কয়ে দিলা পরে —
"ওরে বাছা, মাতৃকোষে রতনের রাজি,
এ ভিখারী-দশা তবে কেন তোর আজি?
যা ফিরি, অজ্ঞান তুই, যা রে ফিরি ঘরে!"
পালিলাম আজ্ঞা সুখে; পাইলাম কালে
মাতৃ-ভাষা-রূপে খনি, পূর্ণ মণিজালে।”
― Michael Madhusudan Dutt, চতুর্দ্দশপদী কবিতাবলী
