The days have gone, but the merit setteled,
You Deshpran Birendranath Sasmal’s life,
Man is man if he setteled entire right —
With such a glory in absolute faith.
It was you with forces justified,
It is perfect merit that blows a fight.
And any honest fight always be bright —
On the stage of time finally applied.
Existence causes the shape of a man,
Regarded to his impressive values,
Versetile goodnesses proves him a gem,
It approves his tender memorial clues.
Not only in India as well as Earth,
Your personality’s always remarked.

By Ridendick Mitro ( Kolkata)
There are so-so many numbers of
Greatmen in the history,
But, now Let’s know oh my friends,
A grear man’s biography.
He was an exceptional figure
To be a big thrilled story,
He was a Bengalee simple man
Who became an world glory.
I will disclose gradually here
His deep feeling in self- prestige,
It is beyond imagination yes,
In our so-called people’s eyes.
He was just only one person
Who stood himself beyond fairy-tale,
Who after demise really did keep
His Backbone truely vertical.
Yes, they are really great it’s said
Who are perfect fore-runner —
In such a way of strange thinking
In life time in such a chapter.
In the Medinipur District of Bengal
At Contai in a landlord family,
In a deep remotest unique village
As It was named Chandiveti.
Wherein he born and brought up
In that village how beautiful,
He took first lesson in his village
Then in an old style pathsala school.
In Eighteen eighty one.
On twenty sixth October,
Birendranath Sasmal at Chandiveti
Was born at this date there.
And as upto the age of twelve
He went to a Pathsala then,
Next enrolled in Contai High School,
He loved biography of greatmen.
He enrolled in Contai High School—
Since eighteen ninety three,
And just in the nighteen hundred
He passed Entranced lovingly.
Contai High School was established
In eighteen fifty seven on land —
Provided by Rishi Bankim Chandra,
The great man kingsize author and —
Whose famous lyrics Vande Mataram,
That is India’s first national song,
Before independence it impressed —
The undevided India all along.
In that high school two teachers
Changed Biren’s thought brighter.
Tarak Gopal Ghosh and Sashibhusan
Chakroborty togather.
Deep eyed teachers can do build
The life of their students perfect,
Great teachers can serve the thoughts
Including human nature’s content.
Next he was admitted in “Calcutta
Metropolitan College”,
But due to situational needs in deep
A certain time way got changed,
And next he came to study law
In the Ripon College then,
That later called Surendranath College
Where he filled his needful aim.
To studying his graduation he moved
To the Calcutta city then,
It was the capital of Bharatvarsha,
Just upto Nineteen eleven.
Next it changed this city name
From Calcutta to Kolkata only,
About this city you know many things
Its cilture and glory in real strongly.
Also in nighteen oh one
It changed his thought all along,.
As he joined Medinipur Bangia
Pradesik Rastriya Sommelon.
That he got his possition then
As the president post here —
In the depertment of reception.
It brought in him new atmosphere.
He went to Middle Temple, London,
Studied bar-at-law no late,
And just in nighteen oh four
Became a Barrister as of dream-target.
Indeed it is truely said to all —
He became a young Barrister —
To save the helpless Revolutionaries,
That he achieved it without fear.
In the period nighteen oh five
He started his new fight all right,
As he Joined Banga Vanga Andalon.
And then he came to open light.
He to Midnapore District Court
Moved from The Calcutra High Court,
Just to make the people awake
In need of that revolutionary fought.
He was a son of a landlord we know,
But he denied rich type living,
Though he loved hospitality much,
Also loved huge amount eating.
He believed food is compulsory
To bring power & pleasure in life,
But less dream persons are deadly,
No nutrious food makes their height.
And he was titelled as Deshpran
Before his name always it’s used,
Deshpran means a greater lover
Of the nation who contributes huge.
And he became a Counselor also
In the then Calcutra Corporation,
He served his honest effort and forces
As tackled many-a-bad situation.
In most cases all over country
Birendranath won the powers,
Brilliant, open heart and logical truely,
He was seen as a sky high tower.
And in nighteen thirty four —
On the twenty fourth November,
Birendranath ended his life of fight
As died of paralysis, how pathetic there.
In both English and Bengali writing
He was also a poet in real,
This great never bent his high head
And won each demands without fail’.
Now It is disclosing to you greatly —
The interesting theme at the end.
That what an world surprising step,
He much seriously conciously made.
He wrote a deed in Autobiography
That after his death at funeral pyre–
He should be cremated upright yes —
That he to none did surrender.
And, so after his final sleep
It was done then in funeral time,
People kept his last order of will,
Think of this man’s thinking line.
Yes, we can also do it same,
If we think of our hidden shape,
Every man can be exceptional
If he thinks by himself as great.
