THE CALL - Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya

 

The Call

(Original in Bangali)

 

        THE CALL


Oh the brave children of our Motherland,
Come, O come, leaving everything behind !
The Mother is calling you,
Open your eyes and see the signs of the call everywhere.
Men are groaning with anguish and pain,
Truth and justice have forgotten their rightful place,
Man has forgotten his conscience and reason,
He has sacrificed all that is good, to drink only poison.
The Asura dominates everywhere.

Let us never forget
Our India is free today by the sacrifice of millions of patriots.
Never forget that She is rising for the sake of the world
Crush therefore all evil with your might,
Flood the land with work and knowledge and devotion.
We shall never let go in vain
The self-sacrifice of martyrs of the past,
We shall see our beloved Motherland
Risen again to golden pinnacles of Glory !


(Translated in English)
