Kazi Nazrul Islam is the ‘National Poet of Bangladesh’. He was an immensely
talented person, a gifted literary genius in the field of writing poems and
composing songs. He started working quite early in his life to financially support
his family which also affected his education. He did numerous jobs in his
childhood and later joined the armed forces after matriculation. While serving in
the army, he started his literary career, most of which revolved around poetry.
Initially he received appreciation and praise for his poetic collections but later the
British Empire sensed a bit of hostility and rebellion in his poems and imprisoned

him for over a year. During his years in prison, his rebellious and
fierce attitude grew deeper and he wrote many such works. After
coming out of prison, he encouraged people to fight for
independence and also wrote about the weaker classes of the
society. Later his focus shifted towards religion due to some
personal life incidents. He faced constant struggle in his personal
life due to poverty, his wife’s illness, his mental health and the
death of his loved ones. Despite all difficulties he emerged out as a
revolutionary who managed to leave his imprint in the spheres of
