তুমি আমায় পাপী বলতেই পারো

তবে আমার পাপে কোন মিথ‍্যে নেই

কোন লোভ নেই লালসা নেই

নেই এক বিন্দু অসততা

নিজেকে পূণ‍্যবান তুমি ভাবতেই পারো

যদিও তোমার পূণ‍্য কর্মের প্রেষণা দেখছি

ওই চকচকে চোখে আর লকলকে জিভে

মিথ‍্যে আর অসততার আভা ঠিকরে বেরুচ্ছে 

তোমার প্রতিবেশ জুড়ে

সত‍্যি অনেক কষ্টে আছো

ওই স্বর্গ সত‍্যি প্রাপ‍্য তোমার

যতোই করো অশ্রদ্ধা কিংবা ঘৃণা আমায়

যতই ছুঁড়ে দাও পাথর, বল্লম কিংবা বিষ্ঠা

শেষ পর্যন্ত করুণা প্রশমিত হয়ে পড়ি

তোমার স্বর্গে ভাগ বসাতে চাই না

যেমন ভাগ বসাতে চাই না তোমার 

ক্ষমতা, প্রতিপত্তি ও সম্পদে

আমার নির্লোভ সৎ পাপটুকু থাক যথেষ্ট

তুমি তো একে কালোই দেখতে পাও

কালিমা ছড়িয়ে কেন যে বৃথা পরিশ্রম করো

আর কেন যে এতো ভয় দেখাও

এই পৃথিবীতে তুমি আমার জন‍্য নরকই তো গড়েছো

আর সবশেষে মাথা উঁচু করে

নরকেই প্রবেশ করতে চাই আমি

আমাদের ঘর কোন পণ নেই

আমাদের পরিচয় ধন নেই

আমাদের আছেন এক লালন

ওহে গুণীজন

আমি চাই না বাউল হতে

যদি চুলোয় চাউল জোটে

যদি মগজ সচল ছোটে

আমি এক আমি হতে চাই

ওহে গুণীজন

যদি ভৎসনাটাই মেলে

এক রত্তি ঠাঁই টুকুও পেলে

আমি এক আমিই হতে চাই

আমি চাই না বাউল হতে

আমি চলবো নিজের মতে

এই শহরের পুঞ্জ পুঞ্জ আলোয়

এই শহরের পুঞ্জ পূঞ্জ কালোয়

পাওয়া না পাওয়া মন্দ ভালোয়

নিজেকে খুঁড়েই হারাই হিতে

সর্বহারার মতোই জিতে

আমি চলবো নিজের মতে

আমি চাই না বাউল হতে

নাহ 

কোন আক্ষেপ নেই

কোন দুঃখও নেই আর

ভালোই তো

বেঁচে থাকা যার যার

অতো বুদ্ধি ধুয়ে জল খাও তুমি?

কন্টিনেন্টাল, থাই, চাইনিজ ও দেশীর সাথে

আজকাল দেশীই চলে

চলে যায়

অগত‍্যা

ভারী পর্দার ওপারে ডুবে যায় অগুনতি 

চাঁদ তারা সূর্য

নাহ 

কোন আক্ষেপ নেই

কোন দুঃখও নেই আর...

We are not sure of experiencing this human life next birth again. Oh the psyche, do at your full tilt whatever you want to do in this life. God has created this emance beauty. Heard that nothing is as glorious as human kind. Gods and Goddesses appeal to take birth as humans too. How fortunate you are that you have been awarded this human-ship. Sail it at once with your favorable streams and be aware of sinking. These humans will chant His grace, that's why the Almighty created them. If He is cheated this time, no harbour will appear then, Lalon cries poorly.

The expectations have not been fulfilled, the desires beneath my heart have not been satisfied. God is the king of this universe. He kept me as His tenant. He punishes if the taxes are not paid and never listens to any excuse. I hold a hope on those feet that I would fulfill my desires by worshipping them. But my fate betrayed and has given me these strugglings of living. I have been caught by misfortune and I made mistakes while performing the core commitments. Lalon says, for this reason don't leave me, my lord.

What a pain you have left for me, oh the kajol of my eyes, oh the soulmate of mine. My heart burns when I don't see you. What a sorrow you have left for me, oh my kajol, oh my soulmate. My heart burns when I miss you. I can't put you on floor, not on a mat, even not on the bed. Rather I will keep you in the vermilion on my hair parting with a silky embrace. Oh my mate, I am an expatriate. While I am living in a strangers' house, why am I still feeling dreamy? The Cuckoo is singing, the night is dissolving, but I don't make a call as my sister in law is here. In sake of a woman's love, Its the conspiracy of the fringes of a sari to fall off again and again. Askaar Ali declares, "learn that an ascetic has transformed me into such an unconcerned."



Oh my loving bee like kohl,  let me know when will you return. If you want to leave, my love, first deposit your neckscarf here please. And inform me when will you return. Like the shadows of the Banyan trees, you, my love, is empathised to me. Oh my black bee, please let me know when will you return.

How long will I need to wait to unite with the soul in my heart? Oh black moon, like a chatok I am gazing onward incessantly with a desire to become a mere devotee. But there never happens a fortun to unite with that great soul. If the lights get absorbed within the clouds, they can never be appeared at sight as like as I lost my savior Kala. So I witness the beauty of the incarnation in this reflector to unite with the ultimate soul I keep in my heart.

Three Lunatics (wise men) have gathered in Nodia. Do not go closer to those lunatics. One runs to the uncasteds to give a title. Again he faints down on dust in the name of Hari.There is a coconut bowl (karanga) only useful to take and throw water. If you follow those lunatics you will become insane too and then you will realize the facts. The poor Lalon feels shrinking in respect to take the names of these lunatics. He says these lunatics are Chayte (Sri Chaitanna), Nite (Sri Nittyananda) and Adday (Addayta Acharya). Do not go closer to these lunatics.

What a strange factory of humans, they cries over the fear of loosing castes! Nobody is agreed on real works, everyone is busy with nonsenses. What caste did you belong during birth and what cast have you taken after? And what caste will you be while departing? Just think about and reply. Brahmans, Chandals, Tanners or Shoemakers, all bath in the same water. Death will never spare any of them. Who eats with his courtesan secretly, does he harm the divinity? Lalon asks "what is a caste? That illusion has not abolished yet!" What a strange factory of humans, they cries over the fear of loosing castes!


I have been left alone on the bank and the sun was setting down. Without you I am in a deep crisis and can't find a way out. Please take me to the other side. have been sitting here like I am the infinity. Oh the Compassionate, take me to the other side. I never have had devotions or accomplishments, rather I had choosen the wrong paths forever. I always heard about the purifying Stream (Ganga/Padma) and I place an appeal in sake of it. If you don't rescue the helpless, your name will earn a disgrace, Fakir Lalon says, then who will call you the Savior? Take me to the other side, my Lord.

The web we never explored

The economy we never recorded even few

The weapons we never encountered

The game has begun

THE REAL HUNGER GAME

The Unknown is out of the Cage 

The invisible n invincible 

The game has begun

THE REAL HUNGER GAME

Oh yeah... I m the bad guy

Yes. Please erase me from your heart

N from your head

Oh yeah... I m the bad guy

Yes. Please stop staring at me from now on

N from your memories 

Oh yeah... I m the bad guy

Yes. Please forget how I smell from my hairs

N from a distance of time

English Translation of Bangla Folk Song: Fakir Lalon Shah; চিরদিন পুষলাম এক অচিন পাখি; Forever I Nurtured a Mysterious Bird

 Forever I Nurtured a Mysterious Bird Forever I nurtured a mysterious bird, which never discloses its identity. For this grief, my eyes ...
