শহর কোলকাতা

শহর কোলকাতা

ফিরে যেতে চাই তোমার বুকে

হারাতে চাই, আমার

স্কূল পাড়ার সেই গোলিতে

আবার বাচতে চাই, তোমার সাথে

ভুলে যাওযা শীতের সেই মায়াবি রোদ্দূরে

শুনতে চাই, দুর থেকে ভেসে আসা

রেডিযোর সেই অস্পষ্ট গান

দেখতে চাই আরেকটিবার

মিষ্টি প্রিয়ো বাঙ্গালীর মিষ্টময় প্রাণ   

কিন্তু কোথায় পাই তোমায়,

কোথায় পাবো সেই পরিচিত শহরটা কে

কোলকাতা, তুমি তো আছো শুধু নসটালজিয়াতে  

The Epilogue of a Narcissist

The clock is ticking, can you hear it
Asking me to breakup with the mirror
Whispering a disturbing truth
The skin that i take pride of
Is counting his days
To be turned into ash
The bones will be crushed to dust
The hair will simply vaporise
But my words will echo forever
My touch will continue to excite you
You will always sing my song
So now that I have you in abundance
Let me have more of you
Coz you are beautiful
Coz life is beautiful

The Dream

I dream of a good life

With colours and lots of sunlight

With music filling our tired ears

A smile to wish me good night

I dream of days of togetherness

And lots of blissful silence

and people who knows no treachery

And bloodshed, no violence

I dream of a world of you and me

A playground of flowers and children

A pavement full of withered leaves

A sin free garden of Eden

I dream of some clean air

Where people don't wear any mask

I dream a world where i can dream

Is it too much for me to ask?

The Liar

I need to educate my heart

On things he is not supposed to desire

I need to remind him everytime

He tends to break the shackles and fly higher

I need to draw him a plan

On the Do's and Dont's of life

I need to pull him down Whenever

He tries to see whats on the other side of the wire

I need to burn my soul from inside

Yet protects the flesh from heat and fire

I need to cry from inside

And smile on the face like a liar.

The vagabond soul

I am a stranger in my city
An alien to my planet
Got my roots anchored to the soil
But have lost my soul to the blue velvet.

It seems i have found my nest
And they tell me to settle down
But my soul hates to rest
Design ways to leave the town

And every morning when i wake up
I see a known world outside
The window seems like an old tv
With only one channel to decide

I wish i had this remote
By which i can change the view
I wish i had more options
To start something new

They say home is where heart is
And heart is where u you love to stay
But my restless heart knows no home
It likes to float astray

The Journey

The journey has just began
Across a meandering pathway
I see a road ahead of me
The rear-view mirror leaves me is a state of daze


My dream to grow big
Makes me drive the fore way
A breeze from the past
Kisses my hair and reminds me of the lost days

Sometimes I ask myself
Is it right to walk straight?
And I tend to turn back
And I saw everything behind is a maze

Sometimes I ask myself
Am I selfish to ignore the gone?
And I hear my heart saying
Neither the future nor the past,
It’s the present that stays.

The Battle

Inside me A battle rages hard
Between the dark and the enlightened
Inside me A force pulls me down
To the labyrinth of the frightened

But then You enter my mindscape
Alters my feelings And change its shape
And then I think to myself
I was lost But lucky to escape.


Inside me A child cries out loud
For his precious and lost innocence
Inside me A man feels so proud
For making my heart free-of-essence

But then You enter my mindscape
And teach me Ways to think pure
And then I think to myself
I had so much pain But had the power to endure
