The Eternal Tapestry: A Literary Symphony of Minds United"

"The Eternal Tapestry: A Literary Symphony of Minds United"

আমাদের গল্প নদীর মত, Amader golpo nodir moto, (Our story is like a river)

Flowing from the verses of Nazrul's fire and Tagore’s dream,

Through the sacred scrolls of Dzongkha prayers,

Spilling into the Vedic hymns of Kalidasa and Vyasa,

Merging with the golden ink of Min Thu Wun’s Burmese ballads.

ཆོས་སྡེ་བཞིའི་སྐོར་ལས་, Chö de bzhi'i skor las, (The four truths illuminate the path)

From Bhutan’s monasteries, where the wisdom of Gyalwa Lhanangpa sings,

"May words be bridges, may silence be strength,

May minds be free, yet bound by love."

शब्दले विश्व जोड्दछ, Shabdale vishva jodcha, (Words connect the world)

Echoes from Nepal, where Laxmi Prasad Devkota’s pen carved,

"Let poetry be our temple, let letters be our prayer,

For we are not separate, but syllables of the same song."

අපේ කතා පැරණි වීදුරු මෙන්, Ape katha parani viduru men, (Our stories are like ancient glass)

Reflecting the light of Mahagama Sekera,

Where the words of Martin Wickramasinghe still breathe,

"A book is a home for wandering souls,

A poem, the whisper of eternity."

စာဆိုသည် မင်းတရား၏ လှိုင်းဖြစ်သည်, Sa so tha min taya ei hlain phit de, (Poets are the waves of the king's mind)

Speaks Myanmar, where the wisdom of Thakin Kodaw Hmaing still flows,

"Let our words sail beyond borders,

Carrying peace like a silent breeze."

ถ้อยคำคือสายลม, Thoikhum kheu sailom, (Words are the wind)

Thailand murmurs in the echoes of Sunthorn Phu,

"Poetry is the mother tongue of the heart,

Its verses unite what walls divide."

साहित्य सेतु है, Sahitya setu hai, (Literature is a bridge)

India’s epics remind us, from the Mahabharata to the Ramayana,

From the Tirukkural of Tamil wisdom to the Bhagavad Gita's eternal voice,

"A pen can rebuild nations, a poem can mend hearts,

A story can outlive time, and a thought can awaken eternity."

Let us not be bound by pages,

Nor confined by ink or tongue,

For the BIMSTEC of minds is a boundless book,

Written not in words alone, but in unity,

A library of souls, a literature of love,

A story not of nations, but of one eternal mind.

This poetic prose merges the literary essence of all BIMSTEC nations, encompassing their poetry, epics, philosophical wisdom, and literary heritage into a harmonious call for unity.
