A poem for you

Honouring Haider Husyn, mimicking his style:

Shwadhin

Ki korar chilo, ki korlam
Ki bolar chilo, ki bollam,
Ki dekhar chilo, ki dekhlam
Ki hotay chaeychilam, ki holam?

Ki shonar chilo, ki shunlam
Ki bujhar chilo, ki bujhlam,
Ki shikkha chilo, ki shiklam
Ki hotay chaeychilam, ki holam?

Ki kotha chilo, ki kotha rakhlam
Ki shujog chilo, ki shujog nilam,
Ki dewar chilo, ki dilam
Ki hotay chaeychilam, ki holam?

Ki shomoaey chilo, shomaey niay ki korlam
Shomoey notun shujog ki debay, notun shujog ki nibo?
