Antora,

Here are two translations:

While they are good efforts, neither does the poem justice.

Akib · #6 July 3, 2009, 09:36 PM

That is very good.... i barely understood it, but the translations helped a little.... Even in my confused state it was very very nice.

Thanks Puck for finding this.

BTW Puck, I think the poem was being recited by Nazrul's son Kazi Sabyasachi in this recording.

I'm going to assume that বিদ্রোহী (Bidrohi) is probably the favourite of most people among Nazrul's poems. So I'm curious, what is your second most favourite poem by Nazrul?

Mine is সংকল্প (Shongkolpo):

থাকব নাকো বদ্ধ ঘরে, দেখবো এবার জগৎটাকে, --
কেমন করে ঘুরছে মানুষ যুগান্তরের ঘুর্ণিপাকে ।

Same for me, Shardul -- one of the best poems for a kid to memorize, both in terms of ideas/concepts and the pulsing metre/rhythm.

নজরুলের উচ্চাঙ্গের সময়ের কবিতা।

BD-Shardul · #12 July 4, 2009, 07:11 AM

Anyone like the poem খেয়াপারের তরণী? One of the famous work of Nazrul Islam and one of my favorites.

Nazrul Shangeet!

খুব সম্ভবত নজরুলের এই বিদ্রোহী কবিতা নিয়েই একটা হাতে আঁকা মহিষের ছবি ছিল। হাজার ইন্টার্নেট ঘেটেও খুঁজে পেলাম না।

i didn't realise that. i wonder what it felt for him to recite his father's epic.

when nazrul was in his deathbed, in a hospital, i was taken to him as a mere baby. apparently, he had touched my head and said, 'bhalo.. bhalo..'

i don't have a second favourite as i certainly don't remember reading many more. one could say that i have read little bangla literature after 1991. what poetry i have read had been part of text books at school at an early age. but i read a lot of prose. i remember reading most of shorodindu and shorotchandra by the age of 15 or 16. there was the tagore golpoguccho. i read from that sparingly as it did not interest me much.

there used to a reading club of sorts where children were asked to read great works of international literature and go through a subsequent exam. the exam might have comprised of writing essays on these books. i remember winning one of them and being awarded ten or so books. that would have been in 1987 i think.. a long time ago.. but i digress!

Pardon me am abit naive Isn't this going abit over the top?? from the translation which shaad gave.

From Rezaul Karim Talukdar

"I am the lord of the lords" "I mark my footprint on the chest of the creator God
I shall cut open the heart of the grief inflicting whimsical lord"

Sajed Kamal

"I'm the mighty call of Israfil's trumpet"

ALL this quote's are going against ISLAM. It's SHIRK. Even if all this is not meant to be taken in a literall sense as this is only poetry, But saying "I am the lord of the lords" is surely haram. That's comparing oneself to ALLAH swt the one who is exalted in might.

Amader iman ki etoi durbol ebong etoi khudro, je bangla shahityo ebong upomohadesh'er itihash-bhittik ek onnotomo kabye amader shob dharmik protigya shorbonash hoye jai?

I find it funny that God's self-esteem is sooooooooo feeble, heck even feebler than us mankind that he will be offended by the sting of a revolutionary writing in a masterpiece. That's like same as saying, "If he a kid tells you are dumb, then you put him in a boiling cauldron, the Earth's version of hell." I know I am reiterating: Didn't Proust say that it's the atheists who respect God even more than the theists cuz theists' comments are insult to God's intelligence.

smh

Reminds me of a story by Bertrand Russell, who was agnostic (goru would love it!):

Quote:

I am sometimes shocked by the blasphemies of those who think themselves pious-for instance, the nuns who never take a bath without wearing a bathrobe all the time. When asked why, since no man can see them, they reply: "Oh, but you forget the good God." Apparently they conceive of the Deity as a Peeping Tom, whose omnipotence enables Him to see through bathroom walls, but who is foiled by bathrobes. This view strikes me as curious.

if it is not meant to be taken in a 'literal sense' why the objection? by the way, the sentence should have been 'All these quotes..'

note, also, the spelling of 'literal'.

what makes you assume that the rest of the readers are less intelligent than you? notwithstanding the fact that it would be hard to..
