POETRY / One who stands alone in the crowd

A lonely soul treads on the street cultivating the sweet pain of defunct love; like a solitary artist, he rambles through the alleys of the city

TRIBUTE / ‘Je Jole Agun Jole’ was first published under the title ‘Kar Ki Noshto Korechilam’

'I dedicated a lion's share of the life I've lived to poetry. I've thought of poetry as a guiding star'

POETRY / The shabby turtle without a shore

Some label you a poet of love so true

Poet Helal Hafiz no more

Police recovered the body from Super Home Hostel around 2:00pm
