Iti,

Tomar Nishyota~

Moo-S(h)ic(k)!

I had a tiny friend,

Who was a musician,

He played the banjo long,

And made us tango along.

He jumped on his belly,

And played the piano daily,

Till we were sick of it,

Almost on the verge of a fit!

He climbed the Huge Wall,

Just after a big brawl,

To the barman of Drinkblink Inn,

Where he went for a li'l drink.

He never noticed the hole in his pocket,

When he was putting on his jacket,

No money did he have that day,

Not a shilling, nor a penny to pay!

He ordered for a rum, a vodka and a beer,

Another whiskey and soda he drank with good cheer,

One mug after another he emptied down,

Back and forth with joy danced his belly brown!

"HeeHawHo! Time to pay up Big Joe!"

"Wait"; cried he, "there is another beer to go!"

Saying thus he fainted there,

Yes, then and there and there.

And the barman cried and the lady sighed,

And the postman called us saying he died.

Down we went, all cluttering together,

Muttering to ourselves, birds of the same feather.

Right down the street to the other side of town,

Where the barman sat, his hands on his crown.

We looked at his body and nodded and cried,

"Alas! if only he would our words abide!"

And we kissed his cheeks and dressed his belly,

And thought of his love for sugar-coated jelly.

"Pay up for Big Joe! HeeHawHo!"-

The barman ordered, stamping on the snow.

We fumbled, and mumbled and jumbled and crumbled,

And all together back home we tumbled!

Bheja...

Brishti bheja murhurto gulo phire pabo bole bhebechilam,

Paini.

Ek rash golap ene hathe dhorabe bole bhebechilam,

Daoni.

Karon okarone ghum parani gaan gaibe bole bhebechilam,

Gaoni.

Tuli hathe kalo meghe neel chorabo bole bhebechilam,

Parini.

Pokhiraj ghora ene amay bidesh jatraye niye jabe bole bhebechilam,

Jaoni.

Ebhabe koto shopnoi toh moner kole ghumiye ache...

Tader tumi jagaoni.

Shudhu praan bhore bhalobeshecho... aro bhalobeshecho.

Tai ajo noyon kone brishti bheja sokal ashe.

Roddur bhangay phool-ghum, khilkhiliye heshe.

Batash bole 'jabo jabo...tomar ghumer deshe,

Kalo sada koto shopno...gunbo nahoye boshe!'

Meghera jaye tarar bari alor thikana peye

Kon bidesher pakhi jyano gaaye: 'ogo kaalo meye'.

Nidralupto shopno gulor majheo tumi acho,

Koto notun bheja shopner shondhan amay dicho...

Ebahbe ki shongshar chole, ogo dushtu chele,

Oma! oma! ei to chile, abar kothaye gele?

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!”.
