Ghazal
Sonar Tari
During a heavy monsoon, a lonely farmer on a riverbank watches as a golden boat arrives to take away his harvested golden rice. The boat carries away all his life's work and produce, leaving him behind, alone on the desolate shore. This poignant poem explores themes of life's transience, the artist's legacy, and the separation of creator from creation.

গগনে গরজে মেঘ, ঘন বরষা।
কূলে একা বসে আছি, নাহি ভরসা॥
Clouds thunder in the sky, it's heavy rain. I sit alone on the bank, without any hope.

রাশি রাশি ভারা ভারা ধান কাটা হয়েছে,
কে নিবে, কে নিবে, মোর সোনার ধান॥
Piles and piles, loads and loads of paddy have been harvested. Who will take, who will take, my golden paddy?

এ-পারে আমার ঠাঁই নাই, ঐ নৌকায় চড়িব,
সোনার তরী আইল, ধান নিল— আমায় নিল না॥
I have no place on this side, I will board that boat. The golden boat arrived, took the paddy, but did not take me.

শূন্য নদীর তীরে রহিনু পড়ি,
যাহা ছিল নিয়ে গেল সোনার তরী॥
I remained lying on the bank of the empty river; the golden boat took away all that I had.
