Kazi Nazrul: Revolution-Hero - Mother Bengal’s Ever-Charming and Ever-Enlivening Darling
I bow to you, O inspiration-fountainPoet-singer-musician of India’s
Revolution-freedom-declaration-aspiration-days,
    Kazi Nazrul,
The indomitable hero of Bengal’s precious
    Heart-garland-jewel.
In your heart breathes one single flower
With beauty and redolence –
    The Hindus and the Muslims.
You were at once the dance of love
And the flood of songs, endless and infinite.
In one earthly frame you were
The worshipper of Power supreme
    And
The beckoning hands
Of heart-deepening devotion.
O Mother Bengal’s ever-charming
    And ever-enlivening darling,
Far beyond the self-discipline-boundaries,
...Mother Bengal is calling you.
Do hearken to the ever-blossoming
Blessing-affection-fondness-
    Gratitude-heart-pride-call
    Of your Bengal Motherland
Sri Chinmoy, Depend on Grace, Agni Press, 2023
