"আমায় বোলো না গাহিতে বোলো না।
এ কি শুধু হাসি খেলা, প্রমোদের মেলা, শুধু মিছেকথা ছলনা?।
এ যে নয়নের জল, হতাশের শ্বাস, কলঙ্কের কথা, দরিদ্রের আশ,
এ যে বুক-ফাটা দুখে গুমরিছে বুকে গভীর মরমবেদনা।
এ কি শুধু হাসি খেলা, প্রমোদের মেলা, শুধু মিছেকথা ছলনা?।
এসেছি কি হেথা যশের কাঙালি কথা গেঁথে গেঁথে নিতে করতালি—
মিছে কথা কয়ে, মিছে যশ লয়ে, মিছে কাজে নিশিযাপনা!
কে জাগিবে আজ, কে করিবে কাজ, কে ঘুচাতে চাহে জননীর লাজ—
কাতরে কাঁদিবে, মায়ের পায়ে দিবে সকল প্রাণের কামনা?
এ কি শুধু হাসি খেলা, প্রমোদের মেলা, শুধু মিছেকথা ছলনা?।"

And a translation..tried by me..
Don't ask me to sing any more..Please don't..
Is this a place only to eat drink and be merry??and to deceit??
I see tears in those eyes..Grief in their breathe
I hear the stories of untold stigma,the hopes of the poor..
My heart pangs with grief of them...do not ask me to sing..
.....
Did I come here to earn praise..honour and a name??
Did I came here to get claps only???
Did I want to spend my life with false honour,false pride and false work???
...
Who is there to wake up...
Who is there to work...
Who wants to protect the honour of mother and wipe off her tears??
ready to weep for the grief stricken, ready to surrender all for the mother??
Please..please do not ask me to sing any more...

I have willfully chosen to remain a little secluded..a little hidden..A lot of people in the name of friends may just become a crowd..  Friends must be those,who understand me,and of course,whom I also find no difficulty to understand...  A lot of celebrations does not really mean anything..It is so superfluous ,so void of feelings and warmth..I have seen and experienced such meetings,celebrations,with lot of hue and cry..and tried my best to collect some real tangible assets which I could keep in the deepest corner of my heart. But alas,

Friends means a lot to me..I can not recall any of my friends' name with whom I have a permanent hitch or break up. By the grace of Almighty,each one of them came and contributed in my life and I am greatly indebted to them.Some of them had departed this world,leaving indelible loving memories..I honestly feel,and believe that God had sent those angels in my life to improve myself,and indeed,their actions,character and noble thoughts helped improve myself a lot. They cheered me up..inspired me..even shouted at me to perform and persue my goal...


Friends--- also include my parents,and of course my preceptor,my Guruji..Its not that my parents never scolded or admonished me,punished me,but,whenever I could come up to their expectations,or at least a bit near to that,they had given me the honour to become their friend...and a friend ,to the real meaning of it.

Let me add a few more lines afterwards...till then,..bye..
