In search of the veritable radiance
Picture

Scenes from Meher Negar (Top) and Rikter Bedon(Bottom Left),
I am not a poet of today, nor a prophet of future,
Poet or worthless, call me whatever, I put up with anything you say.
Some say, to the future you belong,
Your place, as a poet, tomorrow will come along.

-- Amar Koifiyot
by Kazi Nazrul Islam
Translation by Mohammad Omar Farooq
