Woe from freedom fighter-Bangladesh

Friday,26th Nov 2021

I have raised the weapon

I have taken up the arms for the freedom of the nation

not knowing full well about the situation

it is my birthright for a celebration

how many sacrificed their lives?

and believed that the cause was holy!

everybody contributed

and liberated the country from slavery

the country was full of shock

the women were molested and raped

any time the door was knocked

we were hacked to death

I look back on those years

full of terror and fears

country's affair was in doll drums

we had no dream

those days are forgotten

the freedom fighters are considered rotten

no respect is given

no standing or ovation

let people take it differently

and treat us shabbily

the country and its people are supreme

I hail and wish them happiness
