There's a Man I Love

"There’s a man I love" There’s a man who possessed in him An ocean that showed millions of people A sun for which all were ready to die All men wanted to sacrifice their dreams Because of the dream the man had In his mind being all men’s dream All the rivers flowing to the heart Of the Bay of Bengal sang one song, Here’s my blood ready for you Birds learnt the only word red Farmers forgot to earn their bread Every heart then fighting for green For Bengal the mother ever green Then everyone knew the appearance Of a giant figure having a roaring voice Enchanting millions of people to make Them forget their life own for their mother Heavily all the long days of 71 went by There’s no water around as the rivers Died out of the thirst for a new sun To rise with the new colour green Then the long awaited sun rose In the east of Bengal all could see But the three millions who did want The sun to rise but had no dream to see!
