কাণ্ডারী হুশিয়ার!

১
দুর্গম গিরি কান্তার-মরু দুস্তর পারাবার
লঙ্ঘিতে হবে রাত্রি নিশীথে যাত্রীরা হুশিয়ার!
দুলিতেছে তরী, ফুলিতেছে জল, ভূলিতেছে মাঝি পথ,
ছিঁড়িয়াছে পাল, কে ধরিবে হাল, আছে কার হিম্মৎ?
কে আছ জোয়ান, হও আগুয়ান, হাঁকিছে ভবিষ্যত।
এ তুফান ভারী, দিতে হবে পাড়ি, নিতে হবে তরী পার!!
২
তিমির রাত্রি, মাতৃমন্ত্রী সান্ত্রীরা সাবধান!
যুগ-যুগান্ত সঞ্চিত ব্যথা ঘোষিয়াছে অভিযান!
ফেনাইয়া উঠে বঞ্চিত বুকে পুঞ্জিত অভিমান,
ইহাদের পথে, নিতে হবে সাথে, দিতে হবে অধিকার!!
৩
অসহায় জাতি মরিছে ডুবিয়া, জানেনা সন্তরণ,
কান্ডারী! আজ দেখিব তোমার মাতৃমুক্তিপণ!
“হিন্দু না ওরা মুসলিম?” ওই জিজ্ঞাসে কোন জন?
কান্ডারী! বল ডুবিছে মানুষ, সন্তান মোর মা’র!
৪
গিরি-সংকট, ভীরু যাত্রীরা, গুরু গরজায় বাজ,
পশ্চাৎ-পথ-যাত্রীর মনে সন্দেহ জাগে আজ
কান্ডারী! তুমি ভূলিবে কি পথ? ত্যজিবে কি পথ-মাঝ?
‘করে হানাহানি, তবু চল টানি’, নিয়াছ যে মহাভার!
৫
কান্ডারী! তব সম্মুখে ঐ পলাশীর প্রান্তর,
বাঙ্গালীর খুনে লাল হ’ল যেথা ক্লাইভের খঞ্জর!
ঐ গঙ্গায় ডুবিয়াছে হায়, ভারতের দিবাকর
উদিবে সে রবি আমাদেরি খুনে রাঙিয়া পুনর্বার।
৬
ফাঁসির মঞ্চে যারা গেয়ে গেল জীবনের জয়গান,
আসি’ অলক্ষ্যে দাঁড়ায়েছে তারা, দিবে কোন বলিদান?
আজি পরীক্ষা জাতির অথবা জাতের করিবে ত্রান?
দুলিতেছে তরী, ফুলিতেছে জল, কান্ডারী হুঁশিয়ার!

Beware My Captain (Original: Kandari hushiar)
Kazi Nazrul Islam
Translation: Kabir Chowdhury
=========================
You have to cross the darkness of the night
A desert vast and a hill of great height,
And an ocean, fathomless and dark.
Travellers, beware and look sharp.


The boat is trembling,
The water is swelling,
The sail is torn asunder,
And the boatman is losing his way,
Who will sit at the helm at this hour?
Who has the courage and the power?
The future calls your,
Come forward, all who are bold and true.


The night is dark, the storm is great,
You must look sharp, there is no time to hesitate.
You must make haste or it would be too late
To ferry the boat across the other side.
The night is dark, Be your own guard.
your, soldiers of the country,
Age old grievances have declared a fight,
The deprived heart is demanding its right.
You must take them along, the poor and the weak,
You must make them strong, no longer mild and meek


You must lead them to victory.
O Captain, my captain,
The helpless nation is going under water,
It does not know how to swim.
I shall watch tonight
Your determination, grim yet bright,
To free the country from slavery.
'Are they Hindus or Muslims?'
Who ask this question,
I say. Tell him, my Captain,
The children of the motherland are drowning today.


Doubts assail the mind of the travelers still,
There is thunder in the sky and danger over the hill.
Captain, will you lose the way
And leave us in the lurch?
You must not waver or sway,
You must carry on the march.

Those who sang the victory of life
With the nose of the gallows round their neck
Come and gather round quietly today.
What price do you pay for that, friends,
What sacrifice do you make?
It is a test, dear Captain,
Do you save the country or the cast at this hour?
The boat is trembling,
The water is swelling,
Beware, my Captain, beware.

The Rebel (Original: Bidrohi, 1921)

by Kazi Nazrul Islam
(Translation: Kabir Chowdhury)
________________________________
Say, Valiant,
Say: High is my head!
Looking at my head
Is cast down the great Himalayan peak!
Say, Valiant,
Say: Ripping apart the wide sky of the universe,
Leaving behind the moon, the sun, the planets
and the stars
Piercing the earth and the heavens,
Pushing through Almighty’s sacred seat
Have I risen,
I, the perennial wonder of mother-earth!
The angry God shines on my forehead
Like some royal victory’s gorgeous emblem.
Say, Valiant,
Ever high is my head!
I am irresponsible, cruel and arrogant,
I an the king of the great upheaval,
I am cyclone, I am destruction,
I am the great fear, the curse of the universe.
I have no mercy,
I grind all to pieces.
I am disorderly and lawless,
I trample under my feet all rules and discipline!
I am Durjati, I am the sudden tempest of ultimate summer,
I am the rebel, the rebel-son of mother-earth!
Say, Valiant,
Ever high is my head!
I am the hurricane, I am the cyclone
I destroy all that I found in the path!
I am the dance-intoxicated rhythm,
I dance at my own pleasure,
I am the unfettered joy of life!
I am Hambeer, I am Chhayanata, I am Hindole,
I am ever restless,
I caper and dance as I move!
I do whatever appeals to me, whenever I like,
I embrace the enemy and wrestle with death,
I am mad. I am the tornado!
I am pestilence, the great fear,
I am the death of all reigns of terror,
I am full of a warm restlessness for ever!
Say, Valiant,
Ever high is my head!
I am creation, I am destruction,
I am habitation, I am the grave-yard,
I am the end, the end of night!
I am the son of Indrani
With the moon in my head
And the sun on my temple
In one hand of mine is the tender flute
While in the other I hold the war bugle!
I am the Bedouin, I am the Chengis,
I salute none but me!
I am thunder,
I am Brahma’s sound in the sky and on the earth,
I am the mighty roar of Israfil’s bugle,
I am the great trident of Pinakpani,
I am the staff of the king of truth,
I am the Chakra and the great Shanka,
I am the mighty primordial shout!
I am Bishyamitra’s pupil, Durbasha the furious,
I am the fury of the wild fire,
I burn to ashes this universe!
I am the gay laughter of the generous heart,
I am the enemy of creation, the mighty terror!
I am the eclipse of the twelve suns,
I herald the final destruction!
Sometimes I am quiet and serene,
I am in a frenzy at other times,
I am the new youth of dawn,
I crush under my feet the vain glory of the Almighty!
I am the fury of typhoon,
I am the tumultuous roar of the ocean,
I am ever effluent and bright,
I trippingly flow like the gaily warbling brook.
I am the maiden’s dark glassy hair,
I am the spark of fire in her blazing eyes.
I am the tender love that lies
In the sixteen year old’s heart,
I am the happy beyond measure!
I am the pining soul of the lovesick,
I am the bitter tears in the widow’s heart,
I am the piteous sighs of the unlucky!
I am the pain and sorrow of all homeless sufferers,
i am the anguish of the insulted heart,
I am the burning pain and the madness of the jilted lover!
I am the unutterable grief,
I am the trembling first touch of the virgin,
I am the throbbing tenderness of her first stolen kiss.
I am the fleeting glace of the veiled beloved,
I am her constant surreptitious gaze.
I am the gay gripping young girl’s love,
I am the jingling music of her bangles!
I am the eternal-child, the adolescent of all times,
I am the shy village maiden frightened by her own budding youth.
I am the soothing breeze of the south,
I am the pensive gale of the east.
I am the deep solemn song sung by the wondering bard,
I am the soft music played on his lyre!
I am the harsh unquenched mid-day thirst,
I am the fierce blazing sun,
I am the softly trilling desert spring,
I am the cool shadowy greenery!
Maddened with an intense joy I rush onward,
I am insane! I am insane!
Suddenly I have come to know myself,
All the false barriers have crumbled today!
I am the rising, I am the fall,
I am consciousness in the unconscious soul,
I am the flag of triumph at the gate of the world,
I am the glorious sign of man’s victory,
Clapping my hands in exultation I rush like the hurricane,
Traversing the earth and the sky.
The mighty Borrak is the horse I ride.
It neighs impatiently, drunk with delight!
I am the burning volcano in the bosom of the earth,
I am the wild fire of the woods,
I am Hell’s mad terrific sea of wrath!
I ride on the wings of the lightning with joy and profound,
I scatter misery and fear all around,
I bring earth-quakes on this world!
I am Orpheus’s flute,
I bring sleep to the fevered world,
I make the heaving hells temple in fear and die.
I carry the message of revolt to the earth and the sky!
I am the mighty flood,
Sometimes I make the earth rich and fertile,
At another times I cause colossal damage.
I snatch from Bishnu’s bosom the two girls!
I am injustice, I am the shooting star,
I am Saturn, I am the fire of the comet,
I am the poisonous asp!
I am Chandi the headless, I am ruinous Warlord,
Sitting in the burning pit of Hell
I smile as the innocent flower!
I am the cruel axe of Parsurama,
I shall kill warriors
And bring peace and harmony in the universe!
I shall uproot this miserable earth effortlessly and with ease,
And create a new universe of joy and peace.
Weary of struggles, I, the great rebel,
Shall rest in quiet only when I find
The sky and the air free of the piteous groans of the oppressed.
Only when the battle fields are cleared of jingling bloody sabres
Shall I, weary of struggles, rest in quiet,
I the great rebel.
I am the rebel eternal,
I raise my head beyond this world,
High, ever erect and alone!

Can anyone give me a short piece of information that summarizes these things up (Seen as though the guys here are extremely smart):
Platonism.
Utilitarianism.
Aristotle.
Hedonism.

If the dice was right, I'm getting laid 35 times. Seen as though it has happened 7times already (), then it become 7/35, meaning 20% as opposed to the average (35/7=5) 14.29 it should be.

Conclusion: 5.71% every week

[FaHiMa]
