boro aasha kore

আর কত দুরে আছে সে আনন্দধাম। 
আমি শ্রান্ত, আমি অন্ধ, আমি পথ নাহি জানি।
রবি যায় অস্তাচলে আঁধারে ঢাকে ধরণী -
কর কৃপা অনাথে হে বিশ্বজনজননী। 

অতৃপ্ত বাসনা লাগি ফিরিয়াছি পথে পথে -
বৃথা খেলা, বৃথা মেলা, বৃথা বেলা গেল বহে। 
আজি সন্ধ্যাসমীরণে লহ শান্তিনিকেতনে,
স্নেহকরপরশনে চিরশান্তি দেহ আনি। 


How far yet to the house of bliss?
I am weary, I am blind, I do not know the way.
The sun sets, there comes the gathering dark.
O please, Mother of the world, have pity on the orphan lost.

Driven by unfulfilled longings, I have wandered long on the road
The games, the fairs, all came to naught and wore out my day –
Now the evening breeze begins to blow, let it waft me to the abode of peace.

Put your loving hand on my head, Mother, bring me the final rest.

मा, तुझे सालाम।  

আমার এই দেশেতেই জন্ম, যেন এই দেশেতেই মরি।

Things that make me sad

1. Look at this post. I wish far more people abided by these basic norms.

2. ...and at this one. This is the world we live in, and we keep pretending to ourselves that we needn't bother, because after all we are not the ones who are suffering.

I shall elaborate - perhaps - later on.
