Ruposhi Bangla
Ruposhi Bangla (Bengali: রূপসী বাংলা, Beautiful Bengal) is the most popular collection of poems by Jibanananda Das, the great modern Bengali poet. Written in 1934, the sixty-two sonnets - discovered in an exercise-book twenty years after Das wrote them - achieved instant popularity on their posthumous publication in 1957, becoming a totemic symbol of freedom in Bangladesh's 1971 War of Independence. In Ruposhi Bangla, Das seamlessly blends in both real and mythical historical figures, as well as mythical creatures such as the shuk bird, weaving a tapestry of a beautiful, dreamlike Bengal The poems celebrate the beauty of Barishal. In these poems infused with a scent of unrequited love, Jibanananda Das captured his country's soul through evocations of village life and natural beauty. Satyaj

text
As if she is born out of watercress in the pond’s nest –
@en
As if the fragrance of the quiltcover clings to her body,
@en
Crying like conch shells in the ash-grey wind:
@en
Go where you will – I shall remain on Bengal’s shore
@en
In the crowd of the earth –
@en
In the fog – yet I know I shall not lose her
@en
In the grass, darkness – once, twice – and then suddenly
@en
Its yellow leg under the white down goes on dancing
@en
Shall see jackfruit leaves dropping in the dawn’s breeze;
@en
Shall see sad feminine hands – white conch-bangles
