CLASS 5 BUTTERFLY

Lesson 4: Memory in Marble

1. Let’s Read (চলো পড়ি)

Tarun, a class five student, was given a task to write a paragraph on the Taj Mahal. Worried, he asked his grandfather for help. His grandfather told him the story of Prince Khurram, son of Jehangir. One day, Khurram saw an extremely beautiful girl, Arjumand Banu Begum, in the Meena Bazaar and wanted to marry her.

তরুণ, পঞ্চম শ্রেণীর ছাত্র, তাজমহলের উপর একটি অনুচ্ছেদ লেখার কাজ পেয়েছিল। চিন্তিত হয়ে, সে তার দাদুকে সাহায্য করতে বলল। তার দাদু তাকে রাজকুমার খুররমের গল্প বললেন, যিনি ছিলেন জাহাঙ্গীরের পুত্র। একদিন, খুররম মীনা বাজারে এক অত্যন্ত সুন্দরী মেয়ে, আরজুমান্দ বানু বেগমকে দেখতে পান এবং তাকে বিয়ে করতে চান।

Prince Khurram was later known as Shah Jahan and became emperor in 1628. Arjumand Banu Begum was renamed Mumtaz Mahal, meaning “the brightest crown of the world.” When Mumtaz was on her deathbed, Shah Jahan promised her he would not marry again and would build the most beautiful mausoleum over her grave.

রাজকুমার খুররম পরে শাহজাহান নামে পরিচিত হন এবং ১৬২৮ সালে সম্রাট হন। আরজুমান্দ বানু বেগমের নতুন নাম হয় মমতাজ মহল, যার অর্থ “বিশ্বের সবচেয়ে উজ্জ্বল মুকুট।” মমতাজ যখন মৃত্যুশয্যায়, শাহজাহান তাকে প্রতিশ্রুতি দেন যে তিনি আর বিয়ে করবেন না এবং তার কবরের উপর সবচেয়ে সুন্দর সমাধিসৌধ নির্মাণ করবেন।

Shah Jahan was so sad after her death that he ordered the court to mourn for two years. He then started building the monument beside the river Yamuna. It took 22 years and 22,000 workers to build. The Taj Mahal was built entirely out of white marble. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, his body was placed next to the grave of Mumtaz Mahal. It is now considered one of the seven wonders of the World.

তার মৃত্যুর পর শাহজাহান এতই দুঃখিত হয়েছিলেন যে তিনি দরবারকে দুই বছর শোক পালনের আদেশ দেন। এরপর তিনি যমুনা নদীর তীরে স্মৃতিস্তম্ভটি নির্মাণ শুরু করেন। এটি তৈরি করতে ২২ বছর এবং ২২,০০০ কর্মী লেগেছিল। তাজমহল সম্পূর্ণরূপে সাদা মার্বেল দিয়ে তৈরি। ১৬৬৬ সালে শাহজাহান মারা গেলে, তার দেহ মমতাজ মহলের কবরের পাশে রাখা হয়। এটি এখন বিশ্বের সাতটি আশ্চর্যের মধ্যে একটি হিসাবে বিবেচিত হয়।

2. What We Learn (আমরা যা শিখি)

The Power of a Promise

Shah Jahan built the magnificent Taj Mahal to keep a promise he made to his dying wife. This teaches us the importance of keeping our promises and honoring our commitments.

শাহজাহান তার মৃত্যুপথযাত্রী স্ত্রীকে দেওয়া একটি প্রতিশ্রুতি রাখতে magnificently তাজমহল নির্মাণ করেছিলেন। এটি আমাদের প্রতিশ্রুতি রাখা এবং আমাদের অঙ্গীকার সম্মান করার গুরুত্ব শেখায়।

Love and Memory

The Taj Mahal is a symbol of Shah Jahan’s deep love for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It shows how art and architecture can be used to create a timeless memorial to remember a loved one forever.

তাজমহল শাহজাহানের তার স্ত্রী মমতাজ মহলের প্রতি গভীর ভালোবাসার প্রতীক। এটি দেখায় যে কীভাবে শিল্প এবং স্থাপত্যকে একজন প্রিয়জনকে চিরকাল স্মরণ করার জন্য একটি চিরন্তন স্মৃতিস্তম্ভ তৈরি করতে ব্যবহার করা যেতে পারে।

Hard Work and Dedication

Building the Taj Mahal took 22 years and 22,000 workers. This incredible feat of construction teaches us that great things can be achieved through long-term dedication, patience, and the hard work of many people.

তাজমহল নির্মাণে ২২ বছর এবং ২২,০০০ কর্মী লেগেছিল। এই অবিশ্বাস্য নির্মাণকার্য আমাদের শেখায় যে দীর্ঘমেয়াদী উৎসর্গ, ধৈর্য এবং অনেক মানুষের কঠোর পরিশ্রমের মাধ্যমে মহান জিনিস অর্জন করা যেতে পারে।

Complete Side-by-Side English to Bengali Translation

Jhinuk lives with her mother in Alipurduar. It is a pretty city surrounded by distant hills. Jhinuk’s father works in Kolkata. On some weekends, he comes to his home. During these visits, he tells her stories about Kolkata. Some of the stories amaze Jhinuk. Her father has told her of the Metro Rail in Kolkata. Jhinuk has been astonished to hear of trains that run underground.

ঝিনুক তার মায়ের সাথে আলিপুরদুয়ারে থাকে। এটি দূরবর্তী পাহাড় দ্বারা বেষ্টিত একটি সুন্দর শহর। ঝিনুকের বাবা কলকাতায় কাজ করেন। কিছু সপ্তাহান্তে, তিনি তার বাড়িতে আসেন। এই সফরের সময়, তিনি তাকে কলকাতা সম্পর্কে গল্প বলেন। কিছু গল্প ঝিনুককে অবাক করে দেয়। তার বাবা তাকে কলকাতার মেট্রো রেলের কথা বলেছেন। ঝিনুক মাটির নিচে চলা ট্রেনের কথা শুনে অবাক হয়েছে।

One weekend, Jhinuk was expecting her father to arrive. But on Friday evening, her mother told her, “Your father may not come tomorrow. He is busy with some urgent work.” Jhinuk felt very sad. She was missing her father very much. She had her dinner silently and went to sleep. Then she had a strange dream!

এক সপ্তাহান্তে, ঝিনুক তার বাবার আসার অপেক্ষা করছিল। কিন্তু শুক্রবার সন্ধ্যায়, তার মা তাকে বললেন, “তোমার বাবা হয়তো কাল আসবেন না। তিনি কিছু জরুরি কাজে ব্যস্ত।” ঝিনুক খুব দুঃখ পেল। সে তার বাবাকে খুব মিস করছিল। সে চুপচাপ রাতের খাবার খেয়ে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ল। তারপর সে একটি অদ্ভুত স্বপ্ন দেখল!

A beautiful fairy visited her in her dream. “I know you want to meet your father,” the fairy said. Jhinuk asked eagerly, “Will you take me to Kolkata, then?” The fairy smiled. She waved her glittering magic wand. And it was magic! In a moment Jhinuk found herself in a busy road. Around her she saw tall buildings, moving traffic and hurrying people. The loud blaring of horns startled her.

এক সুন্দরী পরী তার স্বপ্নে তাকে দেখতে এল। “আমি জানি তুমি তোমার বাবার সাথে দেখা করতে চাও,” পরীটি বলল। ঝিনুক আগ্রহের সাথে জিজ্ঞাসা করল, “তাহলে কি তুমি আমাকে কলকাতায় নিয়ে যাবে?” পরীটি হাসল। সে তার চকচকে জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। আর এটা ছিল জাদু! এক মুহূর্তের মধ্যে ঝিনুক নিজেকে একটি ব্যস্ত রাস্তায় খুঁজে পেল। তার চারপাশে সে দেখল উঁচু ভবন, চলমান যানবাহন এবং তাড়াহুড়ো করা মানুষ। হর্নের তীব্র শব্দ তাকে চমকে দিল।

The fairy waved her magic wand again. At once, Jhinuk saw a river in front of her. Large ships were anchored in the river. “This is the Kolkata port”, the fairy said. The beautiful fairy smiled warmly. “Let me take you to the Eden Gardens now”. Jhinuk saw before her a vast green field. Sourav Ganguly had played here, she remembered.

পরীটি আবার তার জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। সঙ্গে সঙ্গে ঝিনুক তার সামনে একটি নদী দেখতে পেল। নদীতে বড় বড় জাহাজ নোঙর করা ছিল। “এটি কলকাতা বন্দর”, পরীটি বলল। সুন্দরী পরী উষ্ণভাবে হাসল। “চলো এবার তোমাকে ইডেন গার্ডেন্সে নিয়ে যাই”। ঝিনুক তার সামনে একটি বিশাল সবুজ মাঠ দেখতে পেল। সৌরভ গাঙ্গুলী এখানে খেলেছেন, তার মনে পড়ল।

“Can you show me the underground trains?” Jhinuk asked. “Why not? Let us go right now”, the fairy answered. They entered the Esplanade Metro station. The moving stairs took them underground. The train came into the station and they got up. Jhinuk was thrilled. “Where will you take me next?” she asked breathlessly. Jhinuk said, “I want to meet my father.” The fairy waved her magic wand again. Jhinuk saw a road lined with bookshops on either side. “This is College Street”, the fairy said. Jhinuk suddenly spotted her father in a bookshop. She was delighted. She ran towards him.

“তুমি কি আমাকে পাতাল রেল দেখাতে পারবে?” ঝিনুক জিজ্ঞাসা করল। “কেন নয়? চলো এখনই যাই”, পরীটি উত্তর দিল। তারা এসপ্ল্যানেড মেট্রো স্টেশনে প্রবেশ করল। চলন্ত সিঁড়ি তাদের পাতালে নিয়ে গেল। ট্রেনটি স্টেশনে এসে থামল এবং তারা উঠে পড়ল। ঝিনুক রোমাঞ্চিত হল। “এরপর আমাকে কোথায় নিয়ে যাবে?” সে হাঁপাতে হাঁপাতে জিজ্ঞাসা করল। ঝিনুক বলল, “আমি আমার বাবার সাথে দেখা করতে চাই।” পরীটি আবার তার জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। ঝিনুক দেখল দু’পাশে বইয়ের দোকানে ভরা একটি রাস্তা। “এটা কলেজ স্ট্রিট”, পরীটি বলল। ঝিনুক হঠাৎ একটি বইয়ের দোকানে তার বাবাকে দেখতে পেল। সে খুব আনন্দিত হল। সে তার দিকে দৌড়ে গেল।

“Wake up Jhinuk, wake up”, said a familiar voice. Jhinuk wakes up from her dream. It is morning. Her father stands before her, smiling. So he could manage to come home, after all.

“জেগে ওঠো ঝিনুক, জেগে ওঠো”, একটি পরিচিত কণ্ঠ বলল। ঝিনুক তার স্বপ্ন থেকে জেগে উঠল। সকাল হয়ে গেছে। তার বাবা তার সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে হাসছেন। তাহলে তিনি শেষ পর্যন্ত বাড়ি আসতে পেরেছেন।

Topic: Jhinuk's Magic Trip

"Imagine a little girl named Jhinuk who missed her dad very much because he was working in a big city called Kolkata. One night, while she was sleeping, a beautiful fairy with a sparkly magic wand came into her dream! The fairy waved her wand and—POOF!—Jhinuk was in Kolkata. They saw giant ships at the port, a huge green field where people play cricket, and even went deep underground to ride a special train called the Metro. Finally, Jhinuk found her dad in a street full of books. When she woke up, her dream had come true because her dad was actually standing right there in her room!"
