I snatch from Bishnu’s bosom the two girls! I am injustice, I am the shooting star, I am Saturn, I am the fire of the comet, I am the poisonous asp! I am Chandi the headless, I am ruinous Warlord, Sitting in the burning pit of Hell I smile as the innocent flower! I carry the message of revolt to the earth and the sky! I am the mighty flood, Sometimes I make the earth rich and fertile, At another time I cause colossal damage. It neighs impatiently, drunk with delight! I am the burning volcano in the bosom of the earth, I am the wildfire of the woods, I am Hell’s mad terrific sea of wrath! I ride on the wings of the lightning with joy and profound, I scatter misery and fear all around, I bring earth-quakes on this world! I am Orpheus’s flute, I bring sleep to the fevered world, I make the heaving hells temple in fear and die. I am the rising, I am the fall, I am consciousness in the unconscious soul, I am the flag of triumph at the gate of the world, I am the glorious sign of man’s victory, Clapping my hands in exultation I rush like the hurricane, Traversing the earth and the sky. Below is part five, the final part of my analysis: Here is my analysis of the same in 5 parts. Many have seen, in this poem, elements of grief, heroism, and love.
Originally published in several periodicals, the poem was first collected in 1922 in a volume titled Agnibeena: the first anthology publication of Nazrul’s poems. “Bidrohi” is a popular revolutionary Bengali poem and the most famous poem written by Kazi Nazrul Islam (written during the month of December 1921).
