তসলিমা নাসরিন-এর কবিতা সমগ্র

Standing in the midst of a blooming life, those who shout protests from a safe distance soon become laughable. However, this has not been the case with Taslima Nasrin. She has fully immersed herself in the struggle for the true freedom of women. With her intellect, art, and the courage to directly point fingers at her fierce enemies, she has faced persecution, been humiliated, and ultimately exiled from her homeland, Bangladesh. Over time, Taslima Nasrin has become an internationally respected, courageous, and fierce woman.

Taslima's literary journey began with poetry, which was her first love. Her poetry reflects the story of an exceptional young woman’s journey through various struggles, gradually maturing with age. Her Kobitasamagra (Complete Poems) seems like an open expression of her life full of turmoil, rage, hatred, love, and dreams. Her first poetry collection Shikhore Bipul Khudha (A Great Hunger in the Roots) already captures her yearning body: "In the insomnia of thirst, you remain awake alone for an eternity / Take my morphia / Sleep, Maniksona, sleep, sleep." Similarly, she writes powerful verses on behalf of oppressed women: "In war, the brave woman could not find a place in a free country / Her proud voice must tell the story of being raped."

In both love and protest, Taslima is unmatched. In her latest poetry collection Kichu Kkhon Thako (Stay for a While), she writes of love: "If this body awakens with your touch, / Be whoever you are, no hesitation, I will sleep." At the same time, her voice also speaks of the angry woman: "Fools, keep sucking your victorious limbs... For thousands of years, you were good girls, now be a little bad."

Like a person beaten in life, Taslima’s cries might seem excessive, but when this exiled poet writes, torn by the pain of not being able to return to her homeland, "The clouds are moving from the west to the east, and I offer them a few drops of water from my eyes, as if rain fell on the tin roof of a house by the Golpukur pond," readers will undoubtedly be struck by a profound emotion. Life and poetry have seamlessly blended together in Taslima Nasrin’s world.
