কবিতার নাম জাগরণ (Bengali & English)

ঘরে ছিলাম

চোখ খুলে দেখি বাড়ি নেই;

ঠায় দাঁড়িয়ে ঘাসের ওপর

একটা পাতা ছুঁয়ে গেছে ঠোঁট,

কর্কশ পাতা; বাহিরে তখন মোলায়েম বাতাস।

আবেগ আসে পড়িমরি করে

বন্ধ হয়ে যায় চোখ

কী আশ্চর্য, ফিরে আসি ঘরে

চিরায়ত সে ইটের গাঁথুনি, আরোপিত বায়ু

ঘুম ঘোরে সব স্বপ্ন দেখে

জাগরণে মোহভঙ্গ, অথচ এদিকে

স্বপ্নে ফিরে দুঃস্বপ্ন, জাগরণটাই কেবল স্বপ্নসম।

ঘুমাই কেন, ঘুমাব কেন

জাগরণই হোক চির-আকাঙ্ক্ষিত।

About Poem:

A delicate and introspective poem that invites readers into a fleeting moment of disorientation — the feeling of opening your eyes to find your home vanished, standing on grass, touched by a dry, rustling leaf while the breeze hums softly around you.

This piece captures the raw, unspoken confusion between dreams and wakefulness, and questions the deeper meaning of consciousness itself. The poet gently reminds us how sometimes, the act of being awake feels more like a dream, and the dream seems more vivid than life itself.

A poem for the wanderers of thought and seekers of meaning.

When Dreams Blur Reality

by Kabir Ahmed Chowdhury

I was at home,

Opened my eyes to find the house gone;

Standing still on grass,

A leaf brushed my lips,

A rough leaf; outside, a gentle breeze.

Emotion surges, overwhelming,

Eyes close shut.

How wondrous, I return home—

To familiar brickwork, imposed air.

In sleep’s haze, all dreams unfold,

In waking, disillusionment strikes. Yet,

Dreams turn to nightmares,

While waking alone feels dreamlike.

Why sleep, why should I sleep?

Let wakefulness be my eternal desire.
