Kazi Nazrul Islam - Song Of Dawn

It's dawn, - <br />Open the door, <br />Wake up, Khukumoni! <br />The jasmine flowers <br />From their vines <br />Are calling you to come running, <br />Wake up, Khukumoni! <br />Uncle Sun <br />Is crawling out <br />All dressed in a crimson shirt, <br />Listen - the gatekeeper <br />Is singing <br />His song, 'Rama hoi.' <br />The birds <br />Are leaving their nests <br />To fly in the sky, <br />Listen to them <br />Singing continuously, <br />Filling the morning air! <br />The restless <br />Bulbul birds <br />Whistle from flower to flower, <br />This time, <br />This time, <br />Khukumoni will open her eyes! <br />Setting the rudder, <br />Hoisting the sail, <br />The boat begins its journey, <br />This time, <br />This time, <br />Khukumoni has opened her eyes! <br />Lazy <br />She's not- <br />She's an early-riser, <br />That's why <br />Brother Moon <br />Gives a teep everyday for her! <br />Up <br />And running- <br />All the little boys and girls, <br />Listen to them <br />Babbling <br />About who woke up first! <br />Night's <br />Wash up <br />Wake up, Khukumoni! <br />With a hymn <br />Let's begin <br />Asking for a blessing from God!<br /><br />Kazi Nazrul Islam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-of-dawn/
