Poem on Sh. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (Chatterjee): the literary genius
Answers
A Literary genius
A rare intellect, he was
even as a boy
Not only his subjects, he aspired to
Sanskrit with joy
Which helped him compose
a melody and a song
That would touch the nation
with a gong
The literary horizon of his times
was ever lit
with a couple of moons and
a shining sun
Bankim, the best moon, Rabindra,
The bright sun
And Sarat Chandra,
the autumn moon.
He, who ignited the fervour
of brave men
Sweetest was his voice that
ever spoke prose
Revealed a beauty, there was
never before one
Flowered the literary world in
the centuries to come.
