Kazi Nazrul Islam Poems

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.
...

You Blessed Child are playing with this universe
absent-mindedly.
Creation and destruction are the objects of your solitary sport.
In empty space you are absorbed in a miracle-play
...

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?
...

Syed Makki Madani,
he is my prophet Mohammad.
The friend of God, full of kindness,
he is the dearly beloved of all.
...

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 my friend,
you walked on your thorny path smiling,
seeing me lonely in my floral chariot, crying.
...

That you are my half-moon, in my that half-sky.
When you smile staying in my bosom,
the moonbeam smiles in gushes, as well.
...
