The rebellious poem was published in 1922 AD and became popular in the literary community of India. In this poem Nazrul describes himself:-

"

I am deprived of the pain of the wayfarer forever homeless as the wayfarer,

I am insulted by the pain, the poison burns, the forever insulted chest is moving again

I'm proud, always angry, the pain is intense,

Chit kiss-thief-vibration I thor-thor-thor first Prakash Kumari!

I do not see the secret lover's dazzled gaze,

I am a smart girl's love is the con-con of her kakan churi.

...

The great rebel is exhausted

I will be calm that day.

When the cry-roll of the oppressed shall not resound in the air,

The sword of the tyrant is mercifully Bhima Ran, will not fall to the ground-

The rebels are exhausted

I will be calm that day.

..........................

I am the eternal rebel hero –

I have left the world alone forever better head!

Nazrul said:

"

I am accused of being a rebel. So today I am imprisoned in the royal jail and accused in the royal gate.... I am the poet, I am sent by God to express the unmanifest truth, to embody the abstract creation. God responds to the poet's voice, My words are the words of God, the revealer of truth. Sevani may be a traitor in court, but in justice he is not a traitor, not a traitor. The revelation of the truth will not be suppressed. The comet of my hand is now the fire-torch of God's hand, an unjust tyranny will burn...
