Durga Pujo -- A Bengali Poem expressing memories

In response to a question : Pujo ki kore kat to?

Baah shundor daarun proshno
Jaar jowaab bhebe bhebe
Mone pore jaai shei chhotto belaar kothaa
Niye aashe aasthe aasthe
Ei mone ojaanaa bethaa

Pujo r modhye jonmo nilaam
Pujo r maajhe bodo holaam
Pujo r maati te khele khele
Pujo r smriti te haariye gelaam

Somoi jei kaachhe aastho
Utsaahe te mon phule uthto
Notun poshaaker lobhe montaa
paagol hoye laafiye uthto
School e chhuti aashbe
ei bhebei
sesh diner opekha shuru hoye jeto

Oh cycle repair koraate hobe
Jaate beraano jete paara jaai
Tyre e to pump dite hobe
Jaate Joydeb thek Gamon jaawaa jaai

Oh Joydeb e aami pushpaanjali debo
Tansen e mishti konya dekhbo
Central e Shombhu r ice cream khaabo
Taar por rowaana hobo Cement Park er dike

Baadi phirte phirte dupur hoye gelo
Maa opekhya koraao chhede dilo
Jaane kichhu na kichhu keyei aashbo
Chhele taake aar naa thaamaano gelo

Dupure aami baadi phirlaam
Berote hobe bikele aabaar
Central e boshe eibaar aaaddaa debo
Somoi kore kintu puchkaa o khaabo

Chaar dine sei mosti taa
Kokhono phire aar aashe naa
mon bhore bhore aanondo
chaar din chhaaraa thaake naa

Chaar din ki kore je kete gelo
Bhujei uthte paarlaam naa
Abaar aashbe pujo aasthe bochhor
Opekhya koraa chhaarlaam naa

Dhaak er aawaaz aajo kaane
beje uthe theek somoye
ene bhaalobaashaar diner smriti
mon jele uthe aaloye

Aaj dure aachhi shei durgapur theke
Bondhu der kotha mone pode jaai
Aaakasher dike jei taakaai
Purono diner chhobi toiri hoi
