For The Second Independence
August 5, 2024

Allah, by and large, does grant
What most of the people demand in heart and mind
People cultivate the land
He gives them the blessings, the award;

Fighting hard people earn freedom one day
In a country tortured day after day,
For long law, order and policy were being violated
Every step people were being deprived;

Being oppressed the students lead the whole generation
Long attacked nation rushes to the procession
Not caring for any ban and section
All walks of life advance to damn all outlaw and contortion;

Today, August 5, 2024 the Bangladeshis have won
Expected victory over the most tyrannical reign
Of Sheikh Hasina who formed an ugly autocratic regime
Whom people called concealer, killer, mafia of all corruption;

The Grendel, horrible demon in Hrothgar's state
Terrorized the Danes, killing, defeating their efforts to fight
They suffered many years of fear, danger, and death
As Beowulf, the students won against the demon in fight;

Finally, through lots of lives and properties
With huge hope, democracy and liberties
The sun of the Second Independence rises
Vanishing darkness everywhere the rays gradually reach;

Absolutely appears the true happiness of independence
Bright color dazzles the dark black curse
People call this the earning of the Second One
In 1971 they earned the First One;

Preserving independence is harder than earning it
A noisy palace is not better than a peaceful hut
And more, and more, and more, and more, and more
They should always remember.
