English Rendering from Bangla
[I have attempted amateurishly to translate some of the poems of Kazi Nazrul Islam with full understanding that I am neither a poet nor do I have adequate background in English. All the rhyming words at the end are based on pronunciation in American English, to the best I have come to know. Rhymes in English rendering would be better appreciated, when it is read as is done in a recitation. Please treat these translations as drafts, which I intend to improve/modify over time. Any correction or suggestion to improve this or any of my other translation of Nazrul's poem or of others' is most definitely welcome.
Now I have a website dedicated to Kazi Nazrul Islam at http://www.nazrul.org that also contains a Nazrul audio collection. This comprehensive site in the process of development has also more of my translation of Nazrul's work - poems and prose.]
