16 October marks the birth anniversary of Rudra Muhammad Shahidullah, one of the finest poets of Bengali literature. My tribute to the exceptionally brilliant poet! Here's my translation of his poems: 'Selected Poems: Rudra Muhammad Shahidullah'; Bangla Academy published the collection.
Happy International Translation Day (30 Sept)!
Another great Nazrul song, popular too! My humble attempt to render it into English:
Bulbul in the Garden
(বাগিচায় বুলবুলি তুই ফুল শাখাতে দিসনে আজই দোল - Bagichay Bulbuli tui phul shakhate disne aji dul)
Kazi Nazrul Islam
translated by Mohammad Shafiqul Islam
It's indeed my pleasure.
