Listen to Conch
Taufiqul Islam Chowdhury

Going round the Great Time last day  
Urvashi Cohabits with aquatic conch.  
With lost dignity   
Conch stayed as a tame lass by shore   
Dozed in open shell, lonely. 

Lend an ear 
A crazy voice from conch flots afar. 
Suppressed whisper of sigh 
Deep darkness slowly spreads 
The Covered manuscript of the Great Time 
Turns papes with departing music of migratory bird. 

Wave comes and dives again  
Yet people go to the sea 
Listen to conch.  
Engrossed in deep down water
Quite abysmal alone.
Cry the thirsty yea and nay 
Radiant linn of sin and virtue.
