Winter
The fury of winter stirs,
It's snowing, white snow
The wind increases to blow,
Frost is coming in a hurry.
Filling the earth and sky
This soft snow is scattered.
The tree bowed its head,
Strange snow spread.
On the face of the long corridor
Bent trees,
On the stooping branch,
Birds twitter.
It shakes in a row,
Quiet wind branches,
Snowflake hits,
Stroke the faces.
Caressed by the soft wind,
Laughing in a circle
In the winter air,
It's fun to spend time.

Selfishness
Everyone seeks self-interest,
Wants to make someone fail
If he does have the will,
He will not fail.

The Best Language Bangla
In the land of rivers wide and green,
Where history's tapestry is woven unseen,
There lies a tongue, melodious and sweet,
That echoes through the ages, a heartbeat.
Bangla, the language of passion and fire,
Whispers of freedom, soaring higher,
In its syllables, tales of courage untold,
In its verses, dreams of old.
From the banks of Padma to the hills afar,
Bangla's essence, like a guiding star,
Unites the hearts, in love and in song,
A melody that's ancient, yet ever strong.
With every word, a story unfurls,
Of triumphs, struggles, and pearls,
A language of poets, thinkers, and seers,
Echoing through time, conquering fears.
Oh Bangla, in your rhythms, we find,
A symphony of the heart and mind,
In your letters, a nation's pride,
Forever in you, our spirits abide.

The Wagon
So Like a man inured to failure,
We climbed aboard the wagon,
And The driver, only the driver,
Began to listen as the cadence of our deprivation
—Thud. . .. Clunk. . . and so on-
-Infiltrated the wagon’s pores,
Starting with that first dirt road.
Our lives’ parasols disappointed us
When we shared sorrows
Without fancy titles,
while Reaping lethargy and frustration.
It wasn’t only the driver, or The horse, or Our heads
That looked meager;
The wagon’s outlook did too.

On the Sights
All must not be outer sights
Some hidden in mind
Lay before us vivid
By closing the eyes
We like to look before
Like to look after
What is driven by us today
Represents tomorrow reflecting another way
Recollection is pathos or happiness
It's like a mirror to make the future better
In this glorious world of thought
We always try to overcome the problems
Like swimming under water to cross the border
This way or that ----
The stars over head always guarding us
Guarding from back to the front
I think today for you
You think tomorrow for me
The roses are blooming
The love sights awakens us the sense of growth
The sea-beaches, the hillsides, the tea gardens
Like the different culture of the world
They are talking something hidden
That we understand or not.

Eternal Love
You probably remember on a rainy day,
Our paths crossed for the first time.
Raindrops soaked us,
Our love started from that day!
We used to meet on that street every day.
There would be no anger, no sadness,
We thought that fate, our luck,
Smile at us, eternal love!
What happened in between remains a mystery.
Who said what, took the blame,
Doubt and fear struck our loving hearts,
Alas, eternal love is damaged!
We met again on that street,
At that time, at that promise,
The eyes are looking at the ground, in sadness,
See, eternal love did not endure!
We parted in the age of insatiable youth,
We wrote a new epic in the garden of love,
He lives in a dream, in a floating mirage,
Eternal love that enchants us!

IMPATIENT THIRST
The heat rushes me towards the summer...
There is an impious thirst in me for what is coming
Life begins to be me
a mix of fierce freedom
and fierce mistrust
A late tangle of reflections
will convert all creatures
in small transitory gods ..
And when we finally worship them fiction will begin,
How did it happen to the Greeks?
If there is pain, our hope is consumed
and gives life to the homeless
Happiness has nothing,
It's just the song of a soul in love
Where eternity is today
And I will know nothing then from those days...
when your laugh
It echoed in the corners of my loneliness.
