The Intellectual (Bangladesh)



Some intellectuals who are very shrewd,
Eat jujube, keeping salt on the others head.
Their conspiracy and selfish contemplation,
Makes nation into a tragic confrontation.
Whereas they are the pride of a nation,
In their rise, nation had a big contribution.
Specially in their preparation and training,
Nation had provided every possible thing.
Sometime they trade themselves as commodity,
They have no value of ethics and morality.
Seeing these, other one sixteenth or one eighth,
Started tugging and dragging with our freedom fight.
They said, if a call would not come from Kalurghat,
How comes the great freedom fight shall start?
Their fanciful milk and honey judgment,
Makes freedom fighter to be angry and upset.
Intellectuals, you are worthy son of the nation,
Nation always expect a fair participation.
The world is transitory, but activity is immortal,
Making romp or jump whatsoever, no way to acquittal.
