মন ছুটে যায় ওই গলিটায়,
যেখানে খরখরির জানালারা,
প্রাচীনত্বের গল্প শোনায়,
চিলেকোঠাতে জমে থাকে ‘ছোটোবেলা’রা!
টানা রিক্সায় যুগের ইতিহাস,
বেলা হতেই চিলচিৎকার “ভোকাট্টা”!
শীত রোদে আম-কুল-তেতুঁলের আচার,
তর্ক-বিতর্কে জমজমাট রকের আড্ডা।
‘লোটা-মাচা’র রেষারেষি, ঠাকুর দালানে
ভদ্রজীর কন্ঠে মহালয়া, আপ্লুত হিয়া।
স্মৃতির পাতায় ভেসে ওঠে মাঝে মাঝে,
নাম দি ” মনখারাপী নস্টালজিয়া”!
