PRAMILA

 

প্রমীলা (PRAMILA) 


প্রমীলা চাই, সুলোচনা প্রমীলা চাই|

এদেশে সীতা চাইনা, রাধা চাইনা, দ্রৌপদী চাইনা সুলোচনা প্রমীলা চাই |

 রণ কৌশলে যার মুগ্ধ হয় পুরন্দরজয়ী,

 থর থর কাঁপে মেদিনী যার পদধ্বনি শুনে,

 রামচন্দ্রকে করেন যিনি যুদ্ধে আহ্বান,

 দেবলোক ভীত যার বীরত্বের গুণে,

 সেই নাগকন্যা যিনি সিদ্ধান্তে অটল

, রাবণও অবনত যাঁর বীরগাথা শুনে |

 

 সীতা হলে হবে তার অমর্যাদা আরও,

 মাটিতে মিশতে হবে বারে বার তাকে|

রাধা হয়ে গঞ্জনা সইবে অবিরত,

 দুষবে জগৎ তার প্রেমমহিমাকে |

 দ্রৌপদী হলে তাকে বাজী রাখবে পতি,

পুরুষের বল তার রাখবে অঙ্গীকার |

 পরবলে বলীয়ান বলবে সর্বদা,

 পুরুষের দমে ভরে নিজ অহংকার |

 

 

 তাইতো রমণী লতা পুরুষ বৃক্ষ

 সমাজে দুই জনের হয় এই তুল্যমান !

শক্তের ভক্ত হয় সমাজ সর্বদা ;

 মন্দিরে পূজিতা নারীর গৃহে অপমান !

 দয়া বা করুনা গুণ শুধু তার সাজে

 যার আছে সমাজে নিজস্ব ক্ষমতা ;

 দেবীর মহত্ব কে বা বুঝেছে সমাজে?

 স্বর্গের পূজিতা লক্ষ্মী মর্তে নিগৃহীতা!

 

 তাই প্রমীলা চাই, নিজ ইচ্ছায় যে করে প্রেম নির্বাচন,

 অন্যের বানানো সয়ম্বর সভা নয়|

 শৌর্য বলে যিনি জিনে নেন স্বামী মন,

 চতুরঙ্গে অস্ত্রধারী বীরাঙ্গনা নির্ভয় ;

মৃত হস্ত লিখতে থাকে, মৃত মুন্ড হাসে ;

 এমন সে নারীর সতী ধর্ম পন !

 শত্রু শিবিরও যার জয়ধ্বনি করে,

 তেমন বীরাঙ্গনা নারীর খুব প্রয়োজন|

 

অবলা, দূর্বল, শোষিতা, পীড়িতা

 কথা গুলো যুগে যুগে নারীর উপমা !

পুরান বা ইতিহাস যাই দেখো তুমি,

 নীরব পরাজয় কি বলা যায় ক্ষমা?

 তুমিতো আজকে চল চন্দ্র অভিযানে !

 চালাও সগৌরবে যুদ্ধ বিমান !

 মাটির দুলালী তবে ছাড়ো মিথ্যা লাজ,

 নিজ বলে ছিনিয়ে নাও নিজ সম্মান |

 

 পুরুষ শাসিত সমাজের বৃক্ষমূলে

 যুগে যুগে জল দিয়ে আসে মা দিদিমা|

 নারীর ইচ্ছা, নারীর কাজে সমাজ গণ্ডী টানা|

 পুরুষের অপরাধ ঢাকা- যেন নারীর গরিমা !

 ওহে পুরুষশাসিত সমাজ সৃষ্ট নারী পুত্তলিকা

জেনো একা নারী নেয়নি ধর্ম রক্ষা ভার ;

পুরুষ নারী সাম্যে বাঁধা নতুন সমাজ চাই |

প্রমীলার মতো গড়ে নিতে হয় স্বতন্ত্র অধিকার.


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:-

PRAMILA

[ Pramila or Sulochona is a Valiant lady character in Hindu Epic" The Ramayana". She is the daughter of Nagraaj and daughter-in-law of Ravana. Unlike the other female characters in this epic she is depicted as a warrior lady . She won the heart of Indrajit Meghnad by showing her courage in battle. She was not only a warrior but also a loyal and pious lady by heart. Her loyalty in love is an instance for all ladies. According to" Meghnad Badh" written by Micheal Madhusudan Dutta she had her own Chaturanga Sena and she lived a live of freedom which most of the ladies of that age could not even think. After the death of her courageous husband Meghnad a hand of his fall on the lap of her,but she thought it might be some Maya .So she asked the cut hand to write the truth and if she is real Sati  the dead hand can write. Astonishingly the cut hand began to write  the description of what had happend to him and the hand also informed that his Head is taken to Rama ,before his cremation she should bring back his head. Ravana asked her that he himself could not go there to ask for his son's cut head so she should go there herself, the courageous lady went alone to Rama and asked him to fight with her so that she can win her husband's head by defeating Rama Chandra . But RamChandra showed his much respect to her and gave Sugreve the order to give Indrajit's head to her. In the mean time enemies asked how she came to know that her husband's head was there.She told the truth that the dead hand wrote the description. They all began to laugh and told if she was telling the truth she must had to prove that. She had to make the cut head laugh to prove her truth. She asked the dead head to laugh for the sake of her loyalty in love. Astonishingly the dead head began to laugh loudly. All bow to her out of respect. She also requested  Rama to stop the battle for one day and join to har Sati ritual .As she is an ardent lover of her husband it was  meaningless  to live in this world without him. Rama respected her thought and became very sad. He gave permission to postponed the battle for one day. Sulochona made herself Sati and sacrificed herself to the fire of the pyre of her  husband's deadbody. Thus a lady lived and died according to her own will and courage. No one could control her decision which she had taken all through her life.  ]       


  

We need Pramila, Sulochona Promila.

Here should not come Sita,Radha,or Droupadi in this country

We need more Pramilas.

The warrior woman ,even impressed Purandarjayi by her warcraft ,

The earth tremors by her footsteps ,

She who invited even Rama in war,

Even Gods are terrified with the bravery of a women,

We need such a brave Nagkanya again.


Sita would have get disgrace more,

she has to take shelter into the earth again and again,

Radha would have get more blame today,

No one shall respect her sacrifices and pain.

If Draupadi ,her husband will bet her on Pasa,

Men's power will keep her oath.

All will say she is empowered by other's power.

Woman always fills her pride by Men's ability.


That is why women are considered as creepers and men are as trees-

Such an comparison is done in our society.

Society is always the slave of powerful.

Women are worshiped in temples and disgraced at home,

Virtues like grace and compassion suites on her 

Who possess his or her own power.

When does society understood the virtue of a goddess?

Women who are worshiped at Heaven as Devi are ill treated in Earth.


So we want Pramila who chose her love according to her own will.

She was not a puppet bride of any Swayambar Sabha made my another.

who won her husband's heart by her valour ,

Brave,fearless, hero lady in Chaturanga  .

Dead hand began to write, dead head laughed.

Such was the power of her loyalty in love,

Even the enemies also bow their head toward her,

Such valiant women are very essential for today.


Speechless , weak, exploited, distressed,

These are the word always add to women existence.

Myth and History wherever you watch,

Silent defeat can not be said forgiveness. 

You have reached today on The Moon,

Even you are driving fighter Planes today.

Then throw away all shyness

Win all respects by your bravery .


On the root of Patriarchal tree,

Mothers, Grandmothers  always has sprinkled water.

Women's desires, women's works are being crippled by the society ,

Concealing the shortcomings of men is considered women's virtue.

Hey you, women puppets, made by Patriarchal society, 

Listen women are not the only side to keep up all customs.

A new society should born where men and women are tied with equality,

Women will have to win her own right of independence like Pramila.
