Loke Bole Bole Re (Oh, They Say)

-by Hason Raja

Oh, They say my house is no good,

But what can I build with nothing here?

I'll erect a home,

Yet how long will I truly stay?

I gaze into the mirror,

Noticing the strands of grey in my hair.

Thinking of this,

Hason Raja never built a dwelling.

Where will Allah take him? Where will he find rest?

This uncertainty brings him to tears.

If only Hason Raja had known his days,

He would have painted his rooms in vibrant hues.

Oh, They say my house is no good,

But what can I build with nothing here?

 

বাংলা অনুবাদ

 

লোকে বলে বলে রে (আহ্ তারা বলে)

- হাসন রাজা.

লোকে বলে বলে রে

ঘর-বাড়ি ভালা নাই আমার

কি ঘর বানাইনমু আমি শূন্যের মাঝার।

ভালা কইরা ঘর বানাইয়া

কয়দিন থাকসমু আর।

আয়না দিয়া চাইয়া দেখি

পাকনা চুল আমার।

এ ভাবিয়া হাসন রাজায়

 ঘর-দুয়ার না বান্ধে।

কোথায় নিয়া রাখব আল্লায়

তাই ভাবিয়া কান্দে।

জানত যদি হাসন রাজা

 বাঁচব কতদিন।

বানাইত দালান-কোঠা

করিয়া রঙিন।
