Beyond the rush and the city's loud cry,
Lies a beauty that catches the wanderer's eye.
The Hatirjheel waters, a mirror so bright,
Sparkling with rainbows in the middle of night.
The bridges are glowing like ribbons of fire,
Reflecting the dreams and the city's desire.
While the Botanical Garden, in a blanket of green,
Is the quietest forest that the city has seen.
The Baldha Garden, where the rare lilies bloom,
Chasing away the heavy afternoon gloom.
And the Dhanmondi Lake, with its pathways so wide,
Where the calm of the ripples and the lovers reside.
The Ramna Park canopy, ancient and tall,
Painting the ground as the autumn leaves fall.
Where the "Bat-tala" stands in its majestic pride,
With the secrets of nature tucked safely inside.
The National Zoo, where the wild spirits roam,
Giving the tigers and peacocks a home.
And the Purbachal road, under a vast, open sky,
Where the winds of the evening go galloping by.
From the Rose Garden palace with its statues of old,
To the Military Museum, courageous and bold.
It's a city of wonders, if you know where to look,
Like a beautiful page in a history book.
