Jed.


Jedta amar boddho beshi,
Chai chai bole kebol daki,
Majhe majhe chokhe ashe jol,
Ta dekhe shey bole-'ke khule dilo kol'?

'Amay niye kebol thatta kora,
Ami bujhi kon ghater mora!',
Jei na boli eite take,
Shey bole,'jao dekho, ke jaano dake!'.

Ranna ghore dhukei dekhi,
Bishal iidur marche uki.
Kaan fatiye kori chitkaar,
Shey eshe bole, 'idur na tomar, bhoy ta kaar?'.

Prayeshoi khub koshto hoye,
Jol jhore noyon boye,
Rakhe eshe tokhon hathti kadhe,
Bole,'chole jabo khon, omni kore keu kaade?'.

Sheli's Dream...




The sands of time...

Blew away with glory

There was no wind

Nor rain to steal its history...


A small little child

With one little leg brown

Limped his way down

Down down down..



"Prettiest am I?"

Asked the Step-Mother.

The Mirror laughed with glee:

"Look,Snow-White lies under the tree".


"I killed her! And buried her

Beneath the tree", screamed she...

And then saw a flower bloom

Over the mud, in the heap.


A rose it was, blood red.

A blue stain on it, it held.

Snow white cannot die,

Royal blood even Death defy!


Snow-White rose, with the wind,

And the rain, amidst a little pain.

The little boy came limping by,

And kissed her and made her his bride.


Look at Snow-White in the sky,

Behind the rainbow see her fly,

On her broomstick with her Prince-

That little boy, who came limping by!


Away away and away they go,

To some land, some unknown shore,

And then awoke Sheli from her slumber,

“The tap is running wild”,said she,”Call the plumber!”.
