21 February Poem by Nazmul Haque

Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha....
When I read each bangla letter
I remember with deep respect
Salam, Barkat, Rafiq Jabbar...

Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha....
When I write each bangla letter.
I can see with my heart's eye
Your faces reflected in them.

How deep love can be
for which blood can be given
with a smiling face?

How deep love can be
for which blood can be given
so much to form a deep red ocean?

In this month of February
To you our nation feel
a humble gratitude,
In the court of our conscience
Our head is bowed down
in deep silence.
