“আমার কেউ নয় ওরা যারা দেশ ছেড়ে চলে যায়
আমার কেউ নয় ওরা যারা দেশ ছেড়ে চলে যায়
শত্রু আর লুটেরার হাতে যায় দেশটাকে ছেড়ে ।
ওদের প্রথাগত প্রশংসায় আমি কান দিই না খকনও ।
ওরা সব গাইবে বলে আমার কোনো গান নেই ।
দেশত্যাগীদের জন্য আমি কষ্ট পাবো চিরকাল।
কয়েদির মতো কিংবা যেন আধমরা,
যে পথে তোমরা ঘোরো অন্ধকারে, ভবঘুরে দল,
তোমার বিদেশি অন্নে তেতোপাতা ভরা।
এখানে স্বদেশে রোজ অগ্নিকাণ্ড ঘটেই চলেছে
খেয়ে ফেলছে বাকি যৌবন, আমরা এগোই
আমাদের থ্যাঁতলানো দেহ কোনো পরোয়া করেনি
একটি আঘাতকেও দেয়নি থামিয়ে ।
জানি পরে কোনোদিন চেতনার আগমন হবে
প্রতিটি মুহূর্তের ব্যথাকে তা ন্যায্যতা দেবে।
আমরা সবাই এ-জগতের কান্নাহীন লোক ।
গর্বে বুক ভরে যায় আমাদের । আমরা সাধারণ ।”
― Anna Ahmatova Versei

“That's how the world is arranged: they can take anyone's freedom from him, without a qualm. If we want to take back the freedom which is our birthright—they make us pay with our lives and the lives of all whom we meet on the way.
They can do anything, but we cannot. That's why they are stronger than we.”
― The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation, Books V-VII
