Hey Shomoy - Zarra Singh
আমিও জানি, তুমিও জানো
ভুলটা আমার কোথায়
নানান ভুলের মাঝে খুঁজি
মাত্র,, একটি উপায়
হে সময়,,, তুমিই দিও
আমার জীবন সাজিয়ে
তোমার টিকটিক স্পন্দন
মনে আমার ভরিয়ে
হে সময়, তুমি শ্রেষ্ঠ রবে
এই ভুবন মাঝারে
তোমার চলার পথের মাঝে
রেখো আমায় ধরে
হে সময়, তোমার দাম
আমি দিতে পারিনি
তোমার মহিমা, কেনো
বুঝতে পারিনি
এখন নিরুপায়
জীবন ঝরছে ঝরনায়
গতি আমার বেগতিক
তাই রয়েছি নিরাশায়
তোমার মতন ব্যস্ত হবো
থাকবো সতর্কও
জীবনে ছেড়ে দেবো
যতো, কুতর্কও
মুহূর্তগুলো তোমার মত
সাজিয়ে গুছিয়ে নেবো
ছোট ,ছোট, পায়ে ঠিক
আমি এগিয়ে যাবো
যেই খানে যাই আমি
রাখবো নিজের সাথে
এই প্রতিজ্ঞা, করে নিলাম
নববর্ষের রাতে
হে,, সময়। মহান তুমি
থেকো আমার সাথে
অনেক গতি তোমার কাছে
আমার, অনুপাতে
আমিও জানি, তুমিও জানো
ভুলটা আমার কোথায়
নানান ভুলের মাঝে খুঁজি
মাত্র,, একটি উপায়
হে সময়, তোমার দাম
আমি দিতে পারিনি
তোমার মহিমা, কেনো
বুঝতে পারিনি
