21st February Original Lyrics: Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury
Original Composition: Altaf Mahmood
 
Aaaa Aaa Aaa Aaa...Aaa
Aaaa Aaa Aaa Aaa...Aaa

Oh how our brothers died on 21st February
It’s forever in our memory
Countless mother’s tears fell on 21st February
It’s forever in our memory
Our country’s birth was built on 21st February
It’s forever in our memory

Time to rise again..time to rise again and wage with your might
So many children have died in this fight!
How can you, our enemy, think you will win
When you start counting your black book of sins...black book of sins?!?!
No! No!
You will all pay; yes, come what may
21st February! 21st February!

It was a night...a wintry night...the moon was set alight
It was a night ..like any other night
Everywhere the fragrance of flowers filled the air

Suddenly...from the dark.. from the dark they came
To kill and slay, murder and maim
Killing the innocent all in war’s name
They are all ruthless oh they have no shame
They have cornered us in their hatred’s game
They’re not on our side
They will betray us and then hide
They’ve taken our peace; we have to be free!
21st February! 21st February!

Aaaa Aaa Aaa Aaa...Aaa
Aaaa Aaa Aaa Aaa...Aa

Salam Salam Endless Salams
Original Lyrics: Fazal-E-Khoda Original Composition: Md Abdul Zabbar

Salam salam endless salams!
 
Salam salam endless salams!
To your dearest memory
All those of you who’ve given their lives
For our precious liberty

So that we can speak in Bangla
So that we have freedom of rights
You have all fought the hardest fight
You burn in our hearts like a candlelight
For now, for eternity
For those of you who’ve given their lives
For our precious liberty

The blood that’s spilled in this fight,
Everywhere has set alight
A revolution amongst all of us
In sacrifice believe we must
For now, for eternity
For those of you who’ve given their lives
For our precious liberty

All for one and one for all!
The enemy must now fall!
Light the way through the dark
Oh wash away misery’s mask
For now, for eternity
For those of you who’ve given their lives
For our precious liberty

Salam salam endless salams!
To your dearest memory
All those of you who’ve given their lives For our precious liberty.
