My Land, My Native Place Poem by umaprosad das

I was born, in the land of poetry and songs, memorable with precious births,
Jayadev, Chandidas, Noble Laureate Rabindranath, so many poets and authors.
Poet Chandidas, through his famous verse, taught about the humanity and love
Hit the social doctrine, by worth saying 'None else but the humanity is all above'.
The famous Sanskrit Poet, Jayadev, the great, composer of the Gita Govindam.
In which God himself, appeared to help and wrote 'Deyhi Pada Ballava Mudaram'.
'Place your foot on my head' Lord Krishna wrote himself, when Jayadev failed to deal
With a worth sentence, being the utmost intense, the gap in the Gita Govindam to fill.

I hail from a land where common men and peasants compose songs on their lips
Singing to self and for none other else in a solitary field alone in happiness or grief.
They sing many a folk songs, Vatially, Baul, Bolan or Bhajan as well as their own tale,
Feeling a bit relief, from sorrow or grief or sharing their happiness or romance of vale*.
They compose songs on various occasions while they worship local Gods or Goddess,
It's also customary to sing, at a marriage gathering, family-and-friend composed verses.
When someone does morn, singing in a melancholy tone, eyes fill often in tears
Every one shares, with sympathy and cares, whatever loss or sorrow someone bears.
