ekla chalo rey


This beautiful poem By legendary poem by Rabindranath Tagore inspires me a lot

যদি তোর ডাক শুনে কেউ না সে তবে একলা চলো রে।
একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো রে॥
যদি কেউ কথা না কয়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি সবাই থাকে মুখ ফিরায়ে সবাই করে ভয়—
তবে পরান খুলে
ও তুই মুখ ফুটে তোর মনের কথা একলা বলো রে॥
যদি সবাই ফিরে যায়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি গহন পথে যাবার কালে কেউ ফিরে না চায়—
তবে পথের কাঁটা
ও তুই রক্তমাখা চরণতলে একলা দলো রে॥
যদি আলো না ধরে ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি ঝড়-বাদলে আঁধার রাতে দুয়ার দেয় ঘরে-
তবে বজ্রানলে
আপন বুকের পাঁজরা জ্বালিয়ে নিয়ে একলা জ্বলো রে।।
Open thy mind walk alone
Be not afraid, walk alone
Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla cholo re
Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla cholo re
Tôbe Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re
Tôbe Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re
Open thy mind walk alone
Be not afraid, walk alone

[edit]Romanization of Bengali (Bengali phonemic transcription)

(Jodi tor daak shune keu naa se tobe ekla cholo re
Tobe ekla cholo, ekla cholo, ekla cholo, ekla cholo re)2

Jodi keu kothaa naa koye, ore ore o abhaagaa, keu kothaa na koye
(Jodi shobai thaake mukh phiraaye shobai kore bhoye)2
Tobe poraan khule (o tui mukh phute tor moner kothaa, eklaa bolo re)2

Jodi shobai phire jaaye, ore ore o abhaagaa, shobai phire jaaye
(Jodi gohan pothe jaabaar kaale keu phir naa chaaye)2
Tobe pothera kaantaa (o tui rokto maakhaa choronatole eklaa dolo re)2

Jodi aalo naa dhore, ore ore o abhaagaa, aalo na dhore
(Jodi jhor-baadole aadhaara raate duyaar deye ghore)2
Tobe bajraanole (aapon buker paajor jaaliye niye ekalaa jolo re)

497_World Poetry Day

Today's word is World Poetry Day.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
~ T. S. Eliot


 
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
~ Plutarch



Always be a poet, even in prose.
~ Charles Baudelaire



Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry.
~ Charles Baudelaire



I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.

Girl Power!

I m a princess

I am a Princess.

I am brave sometimes. I am scared sometimes. Sometimes, I am brave even when I am scared.

I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust.

I try to be kind. I try to be generous. I am kind even when others are not so generous.

I am a Princess.

I think standing up for myself is important. I think standing up for others is more important. But standing with others is most important.

I am a Princess.

I believe compassion makes me strong. Kindness is power. And family is the tightest bond of all.

I have heard I am beautiful. I know I am strong.

I am a Princess. Long may I reign.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luarizl2vmc
