Kazi Nazrul Islam popularly known as the 'rebel poet' is my favourite poet. I admire all the great poets but I love Nazrul Islam most. His poetry has a great charm for me. My heart dances and blood stimulates when I read his poems.
Nazrul Islam is my teacher, my guide. I like to recite some of the most famous lines of his poems. Nazrul's poems give me hope and courage at the time of my despair. Though I am not a good singer, I like to sing some of his famous songs. I love and admire Nazrul Islam for his writings of revolutionary spirits.
Kazi Nazrul Islam was born at Churulia in the district of Burdwan in 1899. He was born in a poor but noble family. He did not get a good chance for regular education. He was a restless child by nature. The school education had no charm for him. He walked about and received his lessons from whatever he saw or heard all around him. As a school pupil, as a teacher of a maktab, as an assistant of a baker's shop, as a maker of songs for the Jatra Party and as a soldier in the First World War, he gathered a lot of experiences.
His books 'Agnibina', 'Bisher Banshi', 'Bidrohi', 'Sarbahara', 'Bulbul', 'Dhumketu' etc. are his notable works. They have a great contribution towards Bengali literature. He composed thousands of songs and 'gajals'. He also wrote so many novels, stories, dramas and poems. His poems inspired thousands of people to fight for our independence.
Nazrul was at the same time a poet, a musician, a novelist, a story writer and a dramatist. Poet Nazrul Islam is greatly honoured as the national poet of Bangladesh. He died on the 29th August, 1976 in Dhaka. But his literary works will never die.
