Kazi Nazrul Islam Poems

Come, O guide of the age,
The fearless and the bold.
Come, O the eternally beautiful,
The serene and the confident;
...

Who is that who looks askance at me?
Is it a look of fear, diffidence or tenderness?
...

Make Islam strong, O God,
let the Muslim world again prosper.
Give it back its sultanate of old,
its ancient prowess and generous soul.
...

On your wedding my two hands
will deck you with a necklace;
...

O the nameless eternal child
you have come across unknown lands,
what ornament of name you have put on!
What a prison it is for the chainless!
...

I come in every age,
I come again and again.
Now I have come for the great revolution.
I am the creator's deadly foe,
...

Please come back, come back to my empty bosom
The morning flowers wither away untimely
Mourning your loss
Won't you return to my empty bosom!
...

Lo! Winter comes!
She comes across an ocean of sorrow and tears.
Beware! Beware!
...

Though lost, yet I love thee
O dear,
Between the two shores of the sea
A whisper I hear.
...

How much longer will you
stay hidden behind a clay statue?
Heaven today is subjugated by merciless tyrants.
God's children are getting whipped, heroic youth-hanged.
...
