National Poetry Month- ‘Bondhu Tomaay’ by Lali Roy Chowdhury
Chatti khani kotha!
Bondhu Tomaay
Choto belar bondhu tumi
Chatti khani kotha!
Tomaay khunje pete giye
Ghuri hetha – hotha
Tomar disha paoar pore
Swapno jeno ulto ghore
Ek lohomaay boyesh kome
Khushir pahar mone jome
Bhule gelaam onek kichu
Shorir moner byatha
Chotto belar bondhu tumi
Chatti khani kotha!
Chotto belar bondhu mane
Tiffin belar ghonta
Chotto belar bondhu mane
Putul biyer din ta
Lukiye khawa aam tentuler
Swoad aache jetha
Chotto belar bondhu tumi
Chatti khani kotha!
Moner majhe elo tufaa
Bhule jaoa purono gaan
Bondhu tumi phirle bole
Haazar khushir lohor dole
Mon chute jaay aam bagane
Kotoi smriti setha
Chotto belar bondhu tumi
Sobuj modhur kotha!!
