Uttor(The Answer):Shamsur Rehman

Shamsur Rehman was a Bangladeshi Poet who wrote primarily in Bengali.Known for his progressive verse,he created quite a stir in both the 'Bengals'.

His poem উওর('The Answer'),is a beautiful tribute to Love.
This poem was adapted by James,the famous Bangladeshi Rock Singer in his song Ami Taray Taray Rotiye Debo.
Here's the legendary poem:

তুমি হে সুন্দরীতমা নীলিমার দিকে তাকিয়ে বলতেই পারো
‘এই আকাশ আমার’
কিন্তু নীল আকাশ কোনো উত্তর দেবেনা।

সন্ধ্যেবেলা ক্যামেলিয়া হাতে নিয়ে বলতেই পারো,
‘ফুল তুই আমার’
তবু ফুল থাকবে নীরব নিজের সৌরভে আচ্ছন্ন হয়ে।

জ্যোত্স্না লুটিয়ে পড়লে তোমার ঘরে,
তোমার বলার অধিকার আছে, ‘এ জ্যোত্স্না আমার’
কিন্তু চাঁদিনী থাকবে নিরুত্তর।

মানুষ আমি, আমার চোখে চোখ রেখে
যদি বলো, ‘তুমি একান্ত আমার’, কী করে থাকবো নির্বাক ?
তারায় তারায় রটিয়ে দেবো, ‘আমি তোমার, তুমি আমার’।

The Time that'll matter..


It'll be a lonely night.
One where you would be wide awake at 3:00 a.m.,still musing over the fact that what could've and what couldn't have been.
You'll feel like crying your heart out-to the person who mattered the most.But,all is lost.
Distances have grown us apart.We are so close,yet so far.Earlier the name which used sound like a thousand melodies in your mind;now sounds like a dull note.The contact which remained pinned on your Chatbox,lies relegated somewhere.Every song,every call you made,every quote you shared-shears you apart.You break into a volley of tears.The vow you made to yourself,never to get emotional again;is thus sadly broken.
You'll again try to pick up the broken pieces but you'll find,in the midst of all this you've certainly lost a part;or two.
You'll realize that there's nothing much you can do.Moving on is just a phase of life.Maybe you two weren't fated to be together.Maybe you two would eventually break apart.So would people say.
But,memories of that first meet would still haunt you.Yes,she was Simple,and that simplicity stole your heart.Little would you know that she had other plans,where you didn't feature.
Yes,Moving On is tough my friend. It hurts to let someone go,especially when you haven't even confessed the thousand thoughts which are there in your heart.
But trust me,that pain shall too pass.It'll be the 'Time' that'll matter. If you loved her truly, let her go,you'll realise the true depth of your love for her..
