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
