POEM FOR
MY MOTHER
AND ALL MOTHERS:





Every Mother is a Hero
By Nurannahar Islam
01.10.2009



every mother is a hero to her child
and every child thinks their mother is the best.

every time a mother offers love and care
a child sleeps

such a happiness you cannot compare
it is like paradise

for mother and child.

every mother is a hero in the world
defending her child

no one could love more
than a mother

and no arms are safer
for a child.

Ma Ma Ma- a sweet name.

Who can absorb all our blame.



Ma is the one, who love you.

Nothing ever she wants in lieu.



In our deep deep feeling-

Ma holds the power of healing.



If she sees any trouble to you.

Ma always gives her safer view.



When you are a little learner.

She is your best teacher.



When you learnt to speak and laugh.

For a good reason, ma often could be tough.



Ma would be very happy.

When she sees you concentrate and study.



For you she would clean and cook.

No matter how long that took.



Ma’s love and care is beyond expression.

Your heart holds elaborate description.

Christmas is like an orange,


It’s like mince pies --- mmm ---
The lovely scent, sweet, smooth, fruity.


The heavenly taste of fruit
The taste of life.



Christmas is like chocolate,
Lovely, delicious, loved by all.


Christmas is heavenly joy.

Oh, God, give me enough light


I want to see happy people with a lot of laughter.
I want to see all people as brother and sister.

Give me a heartful of love like the great waterfall,
Create in my heart, a loving Taj Mahal.

TWO WOMEN TALKING:   A GOOD MAN
By Nurunnahar Islam and Eppie Caredda
02.10.2008


A good man is he who cares,
Who brings bread home to share,
He listens and understands
His lover is safe in his hands.
HE is respectful and kind
He protects and doesn't talk behind.

A bad man is he who shouts!
Always in command.
He never listens to anyone
Except himself.
A bad man dominates
And controls everyone.
Rude, cunning, violent
And vile ….


I married
The bad man
But I wish
I had chosen
The good.


I left the man who was good.
I married the man whom I loved

LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES
By Nurunnahar Islam
05.08.2008


Some countries are too hot -
You can sweat and get burn there.
We have the rain and pain in here,

In the Autumn the leaves get gray.
The Winter is near, one can say.

Like other countries -
We have the cruel and kind
There are some, in our behind.

Here we have the jobless and rich.
There are many things that, one can teach.

Like other countries -
We have many things in life, sweet and sour
That we experience here in every hour.

MY MOTHER TONGUE
By Nurunnahar Islam
12.06.2008


O my mother tongue,
My thoughts and feelings
Are attached with you,

With you, I enjoy my music
And share my view.

O mother tongue,
You are the tool for my expression-
you are absolutely mine,

With other's language-
I can't write a line.

Language of others are dear to them
Learning other's language is a problem.

O  mother tongue-
You are with my breath-
You stay with me from cradle to death.

I love so many things.

O' How many things!
Cooking, Joking and may
Be a famous singer -
One day
O' So many things

We are going to sing a couple of Spiritual, Corus Songs. All of them have been written by some song writers, who are the saints of Bangladesh. In these songs Radha, the goddess of love of (Hindus) is either happy to see Krishna, the god of love or she is missing him, which breaks her heart:

1. The first song is Krishna aila radhar kunje fule paila vromora-this song is written by Arkum Shah.
The meaning of the song is:
That when Krishna, The god for Hindus, had arrived in the Brindabon, the holy land - By seeing Krishna, Radha the goddess, and her female friends felt extremely joyful and started singing and dancing around Krishna, by wearing the garlands.

2. Now we are going to sing another Corus song -the name of the song is Bologo bologo shakhi, kon ba deshe jai. This song has been written by Radha Romon.
The meaning of the song is:
That Radha, the goddess of love, loves the god Krishna, but he is not a visually seen by her-so she misses him and feels extremely sad, as she can't see or love him-her heart cries for him.

AUGUST 2008- SONG INTRODUCTION

The song ' Pran Shokhire Oi Shono Kadamb Tole Bongshi Bazai Ke' 19.08.2008


The song I am going to sing is a very beautiful one.

This song is, actually a spiritual love-song.

It has been based on the Hindu Goddess Radha and Goddes, Krishna's spiritual love. Their love story is well - known as a Hindu Religious Mythology.

In this song Radha's deep desire has been expressd to meet Krishna.

Radha is saying to one of her female friend that, she is hearing the sweet tune of Krishna's flute - she thinks that Krishna is playing the flute by sitting under the Kadamb flower tree (kadam is a unique beautiful flower tree) She can also hear the sweet jingling sound which is made by the jewellery of Krishna's feet.

Radha requests her female friend to take her hair plat, and necklace to help her fetch Krishna or she can even throw t hem on to his way which may make him to strop over and halt, when Rahaha will have a chance to see him.

Radha says that she can not believe that a mare fluit , made out of baambo-stick can play such a sweet tune, that is making her soo bemused that, she is feeling totally bewilder and is unable to stay at home.

The words of the song starts like this :

Pran Shaki re oi shono kadamb tole bongshi bazai ke



JUNE 2008:


I am going to sing a spiritual song.
This song has been written by a famous saint of Bangladesh, named Hason Raja.

The words starts like this -Loke bole bole re ghor bari bala nai amar.

The meaning of the song is that some people mourn, that they do have decent house to live in. But Hason Raja does not see the meaning of living in a decent house in this mortal world. Rather he is worried about his long lasting next life after death, as to whether he will have a safe, peaceful life there.

Here is the song: … [SINGS SONG]
