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.
