বাংলা  নববর্ষ  -- Bengali New Year ১৪৩২ 

April 19, 2025 - 4pm

এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো এসো,
তাপস নিঃশ্বাস বায়ে মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,
বৎসরের আবর্জনা দূর হয়ে যাক।
ঝড়ে মুছে যাক ধুলা-গন্ধ, জীর্ণ-পুরাতন,
জীবনে আনো নব-প্রাণ, নব-উজ্জ্বলতা।

বাংলা নববর্ষের শুভেচ্ছা! শুভ নববর্ষ! 🎉😊

--------- 

নতুন বৎসর সবার জীবনে বয়ে আনুক  সুখ, শান্তি, সমৃদ্ধি।
