Happy Birthday Ma!

Hello friends and fellow bloggers! This post is going to be for a very special person in my life ..... a small birthday gift for someone to whom I owe everything that I am today and will ever be! Yes, this is for Ma! In a way, this is also dedicated to all the mothers that I know ... everywhere!

Eito Shedin

Mone pore ma sheidine tei tomar kole ghumiye achhi,
Mone pore ma shokal shokal dakte tumi ador kore,
Mone pore ma dupur balay tomar pashe ghapti mere,
Khelte giye shondhe hole oi je tumi baranday ...

Eito shedin school er shokal - doure giye buse otha,
Eito shedin din er sheshe roj tumi ashte nite,
Eito shedin pora dhora - shekhan thekei bhashar bhit,
Protidiner school er khobor bolar chhilo tomay ....

Porashonar phanke phanke shorir monke gora,
School er pore, maidan ete, bheer bus ete lora;
Shathe chhile ... shohay chhile ... shokto chhile tumi -
Aaj o bheer er modhye "Boro howo baba" baare baare shuni ...

Ador-shashon smritigulo, ma, mishe aaj akakar,
Manush korechho jeebon diye - kende heshechho baarbaar;
Onek dukhyo koshto lorai ... shara jeeboner kaaj -
"Shukher din eshe gachhe ma - dakho notun shopno aaj"!
