Perish to Persist -Nazmul Hasan

Haven’t seen much of this mold Though most of these are darned and cold Here every breath ends in perish Will those dreams of mine persist to cherish? Here a day seems like an eternity A moment of seconds strikes as nullity. Here I find no one as my salvage...

MY BELOVED PROPHET -Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed

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 -Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed

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...

Whispers of the Weather -Nazmul Hasan

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...

Voice of Freedom -Nazmul Hasan

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...

The Magic of Creations -Kazi Falguni Eshita

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...

The 36 Days -Shohel Shafayat

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...

PAWS -Kazi Falguni Eshita

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...

THE STREETS ARE CALLING -Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed

THE STREETS ARE CALLING -Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed

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...

APOPTOSIS -Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed

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 -Kazi Falguni Eshita

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...

End or Not -Gazi Millat Mahmud

End or Not -Gazi Millat Mahmud

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...

A Tender Dream -Sabit Hasan

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 Friends -Sabit Hasan

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...

Hafiz The Margin of a Stream

Hafiz The Margin of a Stream

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...
