ratri
tomar andhokar alo kortey pareni bishho
manush ekhono asropi nei tomar gobhirotai
ekhono shorir shathey moner milon hoye tomar acholey
ratri , tumi chere jeona amay

ratri , tumi shopno aaano
ja bhorer alo kere nei
diner alo shoshon korey
bikeler alo hothasar meghe bheshe hariye jai durey kothao
ratri, tumi shopno ano
amar chockher patai

ratri tumi shanti ano
ei prithibir bukey
clanto pothiker chokhey
oshohaier shokey
ratri , tumi ki bhalobasho amakey?

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
~Frederick Douglass

Are we safe?
