Rahman Henry Poems

The night is taken by the rain.

Someone came out of the mirror
in my lone bedroom and said:
...

At times and in some cases
Truth can be mixed with
Guile and guilt
Truth can be manipulated
...

Bangladesh, a safari for the rulers,

Where struggle for freedom and democracy
Never ends
...

The beauty, more covetable than the charm of breasts
Of a pretty woman, hidden somewhere in this world
Or in the dreams of a poet, yet to come;
...

I have a little experience of travelling the world.
I even don’t know how to jump
And never stood before a waterfall for real
But nowadays in my sleep
...

When I found myself dead in my dream
I was of 41 only and 64 is yours
You were happy enough to
Find a way for remaining crowned till '41
...

They seem not to stop
Piercing continous even the corpse
With sharp spears
...

It was
A
Christmas day
And
...

Hopeless days and dreamless nights
Go on
The wolf in you has dressed a lamb's dress
...

I'm wondered,

How many heirs of Hitler are there?
...

যে-পথ ফেলে এসেছিলাম ।। রবার্ট ফ্রস্ট
(The Road Not Taken / Robert Frost)
...

The graveyard silent by day
And garrulous at night
Is but my beloved land
...

You came,

Have your breakfast, lunch and dinner
From your own food you brought with
...

There is no one inside

By water
Over lands
...

I grew up
Under the shed of a stone
Lovely, silent or laconic,
The stone, gradully turns blue.
...

Love

The Best Poem Of Rahman Henry

Dynasty Of Arrogance

The night is taken by the rain.

Someone came out of the mirror
in my lone bedroom and said:

'I want to stay awake with you! '

It is dark outside and flooding insane.
The high ambition is down to the knee
And a dynasty of arrogance is diminished
like a straw going down the stream.

রংধনু এসেছে আকাশের নীলাদ্রি বক্ষে করে তুলেছে রঙিন স্তরে স্তরে এ পথে হাঁটি আমি তোমায় দেখবো বলে দেখিনি আমি কবিতার রূপ দেখিনি আমি কবির স্বরূপ ছায়া তাই দেখতে আসি এ পথে হে কবি তোমার উদয়ন যে পথে কারণ - সত্য কবির কাব্য সাধনা তোমার কবিতার রঙিন ফ্রেমে

Rahman taught me how to transfer the feelings we may receive from other languages to our mother tongue. Translation is the art of Rahman Henry.

Rahman Henry Quotes

Our bashful poems are living At those rural townships, moving On hooded rickshaws, amid dirt

Cellphone: a luxurious misinvention of this century

Still, none can get rid of death; Everyday, gradually It grows a little throughout living bodies.
