ekla bristi

aj bikele ekla bose
ekla amar ghor
baire akash
ashar shrabon
pagol kora jhor

jhorer majhe beriye pore
badoldharay snan
bristi jhore
ajhordhare
mon kharapta mlan

chul theke nokh ,bhijiye diye
bristi jhore jay
ekla amar
ekla mon
hothat bhore jay

The poem starts with a kind of pain ... pain that can never be shared, only felt - never appreciated, only perceived. As Kalidas has so famously observed in his "Meghadutam": "even the so-called 'happy' people suffer from pains during rains, so the pains of those who live away from their loved ones are easily discernible". So, pains are an inseparable part of life among rains, and this poem brings out that pain perceptibly. The use of the rhyme, far from reducing the intensity of the feeling of pain, actually reinforces it. And yes, the change in the mood of the poem is also smooth; it involves no jerk at all. The use of the word "ajhordharay" carries the unmistakable note of joy. In fact, this is the key-word that denotes and facilitates the change in mood.
