NOTHING IS IMPOSIBLE
Kazi Nazrul Islam (Bengali: (24 May 1899 – 29 August 1976),[1] sobriquet Bidrohi Kobi (Rebel Poet), known popularly as Nazrul, was aBengali poet, musician and revolutionary who pioneered poetic works espousing intense spiritual rebellion against fascism and oppression. His poetry and nationalist activism earned him the popular title of "বিদ্রোহী কবি" Bidrohī Kobi (Rebel Poet). Accomplishing a large body of acclaimed works through his life, Nazrul is officially recognised as the national poet of Bangladesh and highly commemorated in India. Born into a Bengali Muslim Quazi (Kazi) family, Nazrul received religious education and worked as a muezzin at a local mosque. He learned of poetry, drama, and literature while working with theatrical groups. After serving in the British Indian Army, Nazrul established himself as a journalist in Calcutta. He assailed the British Raj in India and preached revolution through his poetic works, such as "Bidrohi" ("The Rebel") and "Bhangar Gaan" ("The Song of Destruction"), as well as his publication "Dhumketu" ("The Comet"). His impassioned activism in the Indian independence movement often led to his imprisonment by British authorities. While in prison, Nazrul wrote the "Rajbandir Jabanbandi" "রাজবন্দীর জবানবন্দী" ("Deposition of a Political Prisoner"). Exploring the life and conditions of the downtrodden masses of India, Nazrul worked for their emancipation. Nazrul's writings explore themes such as love, freedom, and revolution; he opposed all bigotry, including religious and gender. Throughout his career, Nazrul wrote short stories, novels, and essays but is best known for his poems, in which he pioneered new forms such as Bengali ghazals. Nazrul wrote and composed music for his nearly 4,000 songs (including gramophone records),[3] collectively known as Nazrul geeti (Nazrul songs), which are widely popular today. In 1942 at the age of 43 he began suffering from an unknown disease, losing his voice and memory. It is often said, the reason was slow poisoning by British Government but later a medical team in Vienna diagnosed the disease as Morbus Pick,[4] a rare incurable neurodegenerative disease. It caused Nazrul's health to decline steadily and forced him to live in isolation for many years. Invited by theGovernment of Bangladesh, Nazrul and his family moved to Dhaka in 1972, where he died four years later। বিদ্রোহী - কাজী নজরুল ইসলাম বল বীর - বল উন্নত মম শির! শির নেহারি আমারি, নত-শির ওই শিখর হিমাদ্রীর! বল বীর - বল মহাবিশ্বের মহাকাশ ফাড়ি' চন্দ্র সূর্য্য গ্রহ তারা ছাড়ি' ভূলোক দ্যুলোক গোলক ভেদিয়া, খোদার আসন "আরশ" ছেদিয়া উঠিয়াছি চির-বিস্ময় আমি বিশ্ব-বিধাত্রীর! মম ললাটে রুদ্র-ভগবান জ্বলে রাজ-রাজটীকা দীপ্ত জয়শ্রীর! বল বীর - আমি চির-উন্নত শির! আমি চিরদুর্দ্দম, দুর্বিনীত, নৃশংস, মহা- প্রলয়ের আমি নটরাজ, আমি সাইক্লোন, আমি ধ্বংস, আমি মহাভয়, আমি অভিশাপ পৃথ্বীর! আমি দুর্ব্বার, আমি ভেঙে করি সব চুরমার! আমি অনিয়ম উচ্ছৃঙ্খল, আমি দ'লে যাই যত বন্ধন, যত নিয়ম কানুন শৃংখল! আমি মানি নাকো কোনো আইন, আমি ভরা-তরী করি ভরা-ডুবি, আমি টর্পেডো, আমি ভীম, ভাসমান মাইন! আমি ধূর্জ্জটী, আমি এলোকেশে ঝড় অকাল-বৈশাখীর! আমি বিদ্রোহী আমি বিদ্রোহী-সূত বিশ্ব-বিধাত্রীর! বল বীর - চির উন্নত মম শির!
