Hey Ishwar by Amitava Nag
---------
Mati ekhon bali hoye jaay, dekho
Manusher kannar o seema tana thakey ,
Aar paaR bhangtey thakey -- tumi
Tokhono mepe nao jholmoley alo aar bypass er hawa
Hey Ishwar,
Ekbarer jonyo amar sathey paltey nao
Santir odhikar ||
Dear God, A Translation of Amitava Nag's Hey Ishwar
When mud is distorted to sand, see
Human sorrow is also unveiled
Breaking the bounds—you
Then consider the flickering bypass lights and soft murmuring breeze
Dear God,
For once transform with me
The right to peace.
