My Dream

My Dream


A dream is a succession [একের পর এক] of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations [চেতনা] that usually occur [ঘটা] involuntarily [অনিচ্ছাকৃত] in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The people of our country are still not free rather [বরং] sadly crippled [পঙ্গু] by the manacles [শিকল] of segregation [পৃথকীকরণ] and the chains of discrimination [বিভেদমুলক]. They live on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast [প্রশস্ত] ocean of material prosperity [সমৃদ্ধি]. Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream deeply rooted in the Bengali dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal. The heat of injustice [অন্যায়] and oppression [নিপীড়ন] will be transformed [রূপান্তরিত] into an oasis [মরুদ্যান] of freedom and justice. Our children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. We will be able to transform the jangling [বচসা করা] discords [মতভেদ] of our nation into a beautiful symphony [ঐকতান] of brotherhood [ভ্রাতৃত্ব]. Then we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle [সংগ্রাম] together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. And if Bangladesh is to be a great nation, this must become true. So, let freedom ring from the North to South and from East to West, from every hill, mountainside and molehill of Bangladesh.  And when this happens, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s creation, poor men and rich men, will be able to join hands.
