The General and Other Poems

I am General Habibullah Sirajee.

I keep track of grains, animals and mines,Costumes and explosives. When history is laidopen Mughals venerate Panipath?. Spreading its wings, arithmetic Shields the issues of vegetables, beasts and water.

I know frogs’ language; I am aware of elephants’ news
I can whistle; peeling the skin, I do paint
The battlefield of Plassey. As fans arc veiled behind blood
I manufacture my stars in chemicals
General Sirajee is me.
I am General Habibullah Sirajee.
I can identify directions and narratives of colours
I can set Ekattor in between poetry and prose
Opening the Central Treasury, I distribute the goodies,
Father, progress and pistolI realise physics gets rocked by geometry’s push,
Even patience doesn’t nourish on earth.
I am General Habibullah Sirajee.

About The Author

Habibullah Sirajee

A leading poet of today's Bangladesh. Habibullah Sirajee is currently President of JatiyakabitaParishad (National Poetry Council), widely known in SAARC countries and beyond for its unique poetry festival held on Feb 1 and 2 every year with participation of some hundred poets from home and abroad. Having more than fifty published titles to his credit, he also writes fiction, essays and literary criticism quite frequently. As a poet he has mastered a diction of his own with uncommon imageries, word-associations along with different brand of syntax patterns. He excels in transmitting poetic ambiguities in most of his poetic texts grown out of concrete or abstract contents. He is undoubtedly a poet of rare excellence voicing the essence of our time.
