Poet Abdul Hakim

[Nripendra N Sarker]

From: soum...@ix.netcom.com(Soumitra Bose )
{
There is somthing called"self-criticism-ism " or "self-cynicism" .
I think this is an affront on all bengalees to assert like that.
If it is really so why donot the author stop him/her consider as a
bangldeshi ..I am reminded of the first folk poet of BEngal Abdul HAkim
who for the first time started the concept of BEngalee nationalism . HE
went up to saying those who live in bengal and do not consider it their
own country and do not respect their own people are "bejonmas"
I appreciate the nettors concern but why put the blame of some corrupt
politicians on to every one ?
}

I guess the lines of Poet Abdul Hakim is:

Je jon jonmi bonge
Hingse bongabani
Se jon kahar jonmo
Nirnoy na jani

I think Poet Hakim lived about 200 years ago (Curious to
know about the actual time frame).

THe lines are
Je shobe bonget jonmi hingshe bongobni
Se shob kahar jonmo nirnoi na jani.
Deshi bhasha bidya jar mone na juaia
Nijo desh tyagi keno bidesh na jai.
MAta pitamohokrome bongete boshoti
Deshi bhasha upodesh hito oti.

And also

Jei deshe jei bakye kohe norogon
Sehi Bakyo bujhe probhu age nironjon
Sorbo bakyo bujhe probhu kiba hiduani
Bongodeshi bakyo kiba joto iti bani
Farfot(Marfot) bhede jar nahiko gomon.
Hindur okhor hingshe se sobegon ..

But more popularly known is the para as you quoted .

He lived from 1620 to 1690 , about more than 400 years ago and the
first known bengali nationalist poet.

I do not know that , but all the documents of Abdul HAkim was obtained
from Rar Bangla and it isthus little bit unlikely that he came from
Chattogram.Remember at that time Chattogram was not a part of Bengal.
