Ekti Moroger Kahini – Recitation by Atreyi Mandal



Ekti Moroger Kahini (The Tale of a Rooster) written by bengali poet (Kabi) Sukanta Bhattacharya. Here this poem Recitation by Atreyi Mandal.

Here on this video Atreyi try to express herself to present the deep feeling and moral of the poem Ekti Moroger Kahin – The Story of A Cock.

Sukanta Bhattacharya (Bengali: সুকান্ত ভট্টাচার্য) (15 August 1926 – 13 May 1947) was a Bengali poet and playwright.

He was called ‘Young Nazrul’ and ‘Kishore Bidrohi Kobi’, a reference to the great rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam for Sukanta’s similar rebellious stance against the tyranny of the British Raj and the oppression by the social elites through the work of his poetry. He died from tuberculosis, three months before India achieved independence.

As a poet as well as a Marxist he wielded his pen against the Second World War, the famine of 1943, fascist aggression, communal riots etc. His poems, which describe the sufferings of the common people and their struggle for existence, look forward to an exploitation-free society. His poetry books are:

Chharpatra (ছাড়পত্র) (1948) Ghum Nei (ঘুম নেই) (1950) Purbabhas (পূর্বাভাস) (1950) Abhijan (অভিযান) (1953) Mithe-Kadha (মিঠে-কড়া) (1951) Hartal (হরতাল) (1962) Giti Guccha (গীতিগুচ্ছ) (1965)

His works are deeply marked and influenced by his communist experience.

An excerpt from his poem Durmor (দুর্মর) signifies his love and passion towards his country.

সাবাস বাংলাদেশ!
এ পৃথিবী অবাক তাকিয়ে রয়
জ্বলে পুড়ে মরে ছারখার
তবু মাথা নোয়াবার নয়।

Meaning in English: “Bravo Bangladesh! The world is amazed! fired, burned, died and destroyed, but never gave up!”[4] Here ‘Bangladesh’ refers to the ‘Undivided Bengal’.

একটি মোরগের কাহিনী – কবি সুকান্ত ভট্টাচার্য

একটি মোরগ হঠাৎ আশ্রয় পেয়ে গেল
বিরাট প্রাসাদের ছোট্ট এক কোণে,
ভাঙা প্যাকিং বাক্সের গাদায়
আরো দু’তিনটি মুরগীর সঙ্গে।

আশ্রয় যদিও মিলল,
উপযুক্ত আহার মিলল না।
সুতীক্ষ্ণ চিৎকারে প্রতিবাদ জানিয়ে
গলা ফাটাল সেই মোরগ
ভোর থেকে সন্ধে পর্যন্ত
তবুও সহানুভূতি জানাল না সেই বিরাট শক্ত ইমারত।

তারপর শুরু হল তাঁর আঁস্তাকুড়ে আনাগোনা;
আর্শ্চর্য! সেখানে প্রতিদিন মিলতে লাগল
ফেলে দেওয়া ভাত-রুটির চমৎকার প্রচুর খাবার!
তারপর এক সময় আঁস্তাকুড়েও এল অংশীদার-
ময়লা ছেঁড়া ন্যাকড়া পরা দু’তিনটে মানুষ;
কাজেই দুর্বলতার মোরগের খাবার গেল বন্ধ হয়ে।

খাবার! খাবার! খানিকটা খাবার!
অসহায় মোরগ খাবারের সন্ধানে
বার বার চেষ্টা ক’রল প্রাসাদে ঢুকতে,
প্রত্যেকবারই তাড়া খেল প্রচণ্ড।

ছোট্ট মোরগ ঘাড় উঁচু করে স্বপ্ন দেখে-
‘প্রাসাদের ভেতর রাশি রাশি খাবার’!
তারপর সত্যিই সে একদিন প্রাসাদে ঢুকতে পেল,
একেবারে সোজা চলে এল
ধব্‌ধবে সাদা দামী কাপড়ে ঢাকা খাবার টেবিলে ;
অবশ্য খাবার খেতে নয়
খাবার হিসেবে।।
