"চেতনার গদিতে লাথি মার"

চেতনার গদিতে লাথি মার তোরা
ভেঙ্গে ফেল সব শৃঙ্খল।
ওরা রক্ত গঙ্গায় বয়ে নিতে চায়
দুঃশাসনের যম পাল।
ওরা চেতনার নামে করে হানাহানি
লুন্ঠন করে ধন জনতার।
ওরা গুম, খুন আর করে রাহাজানি
প্রতিবাদিকে বলে রাজাকার।
ওরা মাফিয়া-স্বৈরাচার।
ওরা ঘাতক হানাদার।
ওরা রক্ত খেকো নর পিশাচ
হিংস্র জানোয়ার।।

জেগে ওঠরে জনধিক।
ছুড়ে মাররে শত ধিক, ধিক ধিক
ওরা রক্ত নেশায় ছোটে দিগ্বিদিক।
ওরা আওয়ামি দিল্লি দাসী
গণহত্যা লীগ।।
