My heart is heavy, peace feels far, A memory burns like a fading star. One year ago, this very July, We watched our brothers bleed and die. The world may count just thirty-one, But for us, July extended thirty-six long. Each one written in fire and tears, Etched with pain,...
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of skies, Made the earth and gave us the eyes. With the Light, sent His Messenger, Guides to the Light, wills whomever. Beloved never cursed those who fell, He knew their hearts, knew them well. He raised them kindly when strayed, Led them back...
Sleep, little friend, close your eyes, The stars will smile in quiet skies. No more books and no more pen, You’ll never have homework again. Your bag is still, your shoes at rest, Heaven will hold you best. The fire was loud but you’re now free, No more fear and...
Each drop is tearing my world apart Shaded cloudy sky’s gazing at my eyes With every breath I’m lightening my heart Blazing thunders retaliate my sighs. Whimsical breeze whispers to me I stand alone and listen to its miseries, Faraway somewhere I see a man standing Looking out for his...
Fear resides within, Dark power engulfs the sane. No one to speak, no one to see, Allowing all to endure the pain. O, freedom, where you escaped? Thee is seeking you at the verge of our breath. Hence no one to stand tall, no one to act, The hyenas are...
When one creation leads to another There’s nothing that can bother. A sketch can turn into a poetry A picture can evolve into a story. A photograph may turn into a novel A painting can be time travel. A beaded earring can make someone smile Even if that is for...
Thirty-six days of blood and storm, A revolution in youthful form. Classes stopped, but lessons grew— In every chant, a future knew. They banned our words, they shut down net, But courage rose where fear was set. We saw our brothers disappear, Yet never once collapsed in fear. From Dhaka’s...
When I come to you for shelter on a rainy day Please don’t push me away. If I’m wet, shivering, my paws slip on the way Please don’t push me away. I may meow, or bark, even I’m scared of the dark Remember, I’m a life too, not a toy...
Hey bro, hey listen, listen carefully— It’s July, and the heat isn’t just from the sun. The whole country feels like it’s about to explode, It should, cause we’ve been quiet for too long. Merit means nothing if you don’t have connections, Dreams get crushed under corruption’s directions. Before leaving...
A leaf from a tree does fall, When its time is up and done. A cell in the body does stall, When its course is run and gone. A program runs inside them, A script of death and decay. A signal triggers the system, A switch that says: “Go away.”...
I’d rather have one real friend Instead of a thousand fake ones. I’d rather count my own blessings Instead of being jealous of others. I’d rather be happy with little Instead of asking for too much. I’d rather care for myself Focus on being the real me, People only judge...
One came with the sunrise, A new river formed from melting ice. Now the sun is setting once again, Creating frozen ice in time’s domain. Clean water brought life with thrill, Sun rays showed the future for the reed. But the setting sun has brought disappointment— Is darkness going to...
In the realm of my homeland’s uncertain haze, Where turmoil and despair cast their gloomy gaze, A boy of seventeen, amidst the tempest’s wrath, Contemplates the chaos, searching for a path. In his youthful eyes, flickers a glimmer of hope, A fire within, refusing to accept life’s trope, He sees...
To my young friends, this ode I sing, In the dawn of life, where dreams take wing, You stand on the threshold of a world unknown, With hearts aflame, with passions grown. Oh, young souls, wild and free, Explorers of possibilities, you shall be, In your eyes, I see the...
Tutors as if bondservant Pupils like nerveless tame Guardians seems like government For the time being, nurturing system. Servant has to feed these subservient Till the last drop of their strength. Govt. will come and start judgement Is or isn’t product enough thicken! If result is not as expectation Slave...
(Marking world book day, April 23rd, 2022) I am your best friend I am called a “book” I can provoke deep thoughts Grab you like a hook. I am your knowledge mine I am called a book I can make you spellbound Even if the Earth shook! Judge me by...

The margin of a stream, the willow’s shade, A mind inclined to song, a mistress sweet, A Cup-bearer whose cheek outshines the rose, A friend upon whose heart thy heart is laid: Oh Happy-starred! let not thine hours fleet Unvalued; may each minute as it goes Lay tribute of enjoyment...
Something I want to do Practical and True. That is only in My Heart And only I know, When it will start. I want to do something different Maybe you are so excellent. But what I am? What is my problem? I know what my life is Sometimes it is...
Masks on Pretty smiles on their faces, Where work is your identity Day and night are the same. Vehicle tells all stories What dies under the wheel, Every step to make money To end life pain. Necessity is expensive, Some rights are in wage. To sell is human All can...
