অনেক রাজ্য হারলো, মৃর্ত্যু মর্তে অনবরতো।। লাল সূর্য ভয়ে ওঠে, আমরা সবাই ঠিক বাচবো।। নিরীহরা নিশ্চিন্ত, পাপ মুক্ত মন।। বুক্ফুলিয়ে রাজনীতি, জাবর কেটে প্রহর কাটে, প্রজার কথা এবার শোন।। খিদের আওয়াজ চারিদিকে, রাস্তায় আজ লাইন পাতে।। প্রাণীরা কিন্তু ভালই আছে, চাওয়া নেই পাওয়া নেই, অল্প পেলেই সুখি তাতে।। দুগ্গা মা, কবে আসবে তুমি? আমদের বর্ষ সুরু, চার দেয়ালের মাঝে।। তোমার দশ হাতে আমদের সাজিয়ো পারলে, নতুন বছরে জামা কাপড় হয়নি মা, এতো মৃত্যু ,এতো অসুরের মাঝে।। গৌরব রায় চৌধুরী (Use headphones) #instagood #insta #instadaily #instagram #instamood #instafashion #dedicated #missyou #stayhome #lockdown #fightforcoronavirus😷 #stayhealthy #helptheworld #helpournation #helpyourfamily #avoidcrowds #cleanyourhands #quarantine #covid_19 #commonIndia #letsfightthistogether #peace #love #takecare #iloveyoumylove❤️ #alwayswithyoulove

Gourab’s soul-stirring poem translates loosely in English as:

Dugga’s New Year

Many states have lost,
Death is constantly on the verge.
The red sun peers out in fear,
We will be alright. The innocent are free,
A mind without sin.
Hollow inane politics,
The fever cuts off.
Listen to the people– the noise of Hunger pervades everywhere,
And lines up the streets today.
The animals are well,
They want not and seek not,
With only a little, they are happy. Dear Mother,
When will you arrive?
Starting our year,
In between these four walls
Arrange us in your ten hands.

Gourab, yet again, has painted a moving picture with his words in signature style. We also get to see the stark abandoned streets where only the inhabitant creatures still manage to flourish. Nature has struck back in retaliation to man’s cruel and erring ways, and Gourab makes the point that nature will always thrive — it is we who need to mend our ways or suffer the consequences. He yearns for a new dawn in this new year just like the rest of us, and beseeches Ma Durga to return, spread her light back into the world and give us a fresh start with her blessings.
