Mother means Bangladesh in this poem.
Today, from the heart of Bangladesh
O Mother, when did you appear in such an exceptional way!
O Mother I repeatedly gaze at you,
I cannot have enough of you.
O Mother the doors of your temple are unlocked today!
Your right hand carries the blazing sword,
Your left removes fear and apprehension.
Your eyes reveal affection,
while your forehead conveys fierce resolve.
O ,Mother what an image of you,
I behold today.
O my dear Mother your untied hair conceals thunder
The edge of your garment glitters in the sun.
I neglected to look at you,
thinking my sad mother ,
Is alone in the deserted house .
There is no end to her misfortune.
But where is your miserable attire?
Where is that sad smile?
The sky is adorned with
The lustre of your feet.
On this night of misery
Flood the world with the flow of happiness,
Your courage resonates in my heart!
