“Nobody loves me, nobody cares,
Nobody picks me peaches and pears.
Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,
Nobody listens and laughs at me jokes.
Nobody helps when I get into a fight,
Nobody does all my homework at night.
Nobody misses me,
Nobody cries,
Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.
So, if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,
I'll stand up and tell you NOBODY is!
But yesterday night I got quite a scare
I woke up and Nobody just WASN'T there!
I called out and reached for Nobody's hand,
In the darkness where Nobody usually stands,
Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,
But I found SOMEBODY each place that I looked.
I seached till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,
There's no doubt about it-
NOBODY'S GONE!!”
― Shel Silverstein

make sure you hands are clean!”
― Bob Marley

“আমাকে সে নিয়েছিলো ডেকে;
বলেছিলো: ‘এ নদীর জল
তোমার চোখের মত ম্লান বেতফল:
সব ক্লান্তি রক্তের থেকে
স্নিগ্ধ রাখছে পটভূমি;
এই নদী তুমি।

‘এর নাম ধানসিঁড়ি বুঝি?’
মাছরাঙাদের বললাম;
গভীর মেয়েটি এসে দিয়েছিলো নাম।
আজো আমি মেয়েটিকে খুঁজি;
জলের অপার সিঁড়ি বেয়ে
কোথায় যে চলে গেছে মেয়ে।”
― Jibanananda Das

“আমার হৃদয় পৃথিবী ছিঁড়ে উড়ে গেলো,
নীল হাওয়ার সমুদ্রে স্ফীত মাতাল বেলুনের মতো গেল উড়ে,
একটা দূর নক্ষত্রের মাস্তুলকে তারায়-তারায় উড়িয়ে দিয়ে চলল
একটা দুরন্ত শকুনের মতো।”
― Jibanananda Das, বনলতা সেন
