Someone is Hanging by Malay Roychoudhury

 

Someone is hanging by Malay Roychoudhury

Arun said, “come, lets go and see, at tin factory someone

Is hanging in circles.” I ran with him, hoping to see magic—

They cut canisters and straighten them with a wooden hammer.

How does the person wearing a shirt and dhoti climb so high ?

Wearing specs ! I noticed carefully and exclaimed, “Hey Brother

He is father of my class mate Arabinda ; because of partition

He had to flee from Faridpur, used to teach at a school there,

Had to leave behind his certificates etc in their burning house

That is why did not get any job, at last the sounds of

Beating tins told him everyday, “What a shame ! What a shame !”

How did he climb so high ! Collecting the rope from tied tins

Prepared a noose and now hanging, taking turn, once left

H…i…n…d…u…s…t…a…n… then right.. P…a…k…i…s…t…a…n

H….i….n….d….u….s….t…..a....n….P….a….k….i….s….t….a….n
