Nakshi Kanthar Math (Bengali: নকশী কাঁথার মাঠ, lit. 'The Field of the Embroidered Quilt') is a dramatized Bengali verse narrative written by poet Jasimuddin published in 1928.[1]
The verse is considered a masterpiece in Bengali language and has been translated into many different languages.[1] The poem was translated later by Mary Milford as "The Field of the Embroidered Quilt".[2]
The verse is a tragic folk tale written in simple language and centers around Rupai and Saju. Rupai is a young peasant, who falls in love with a girl named Saju in his neighboring village. They are married. But after a quarrel and fight with some peasants of another village, Rupai leaves home and flees far away. Saju, the young wife becomes alone. She waits every day with expectation that her husband will return to her, but nothing happens. She becomes tired, all her hopes fails. Many days pass and Saju begins to prepare a Nakshi Kantha (an embroidered quilt). In that Nakshi Kantha she types (writes) all the (sad) incidents and tragedies of her life. Still more days pass by, but Rupai does not return. Finally Saju dies. Before her death she requests her mother to put the Nakshi Kantha on her grave. Her mother does accordingly. And since then the name of the field becomes Nakshi Kanthar Math.
সেই হতে তার নামটি হয়েছে নকশী কাঁথার মাঠ... Translation: Since then the field is known as Nakshi Kanthar Math
Some days after Saju's death, villagers find a young man is lying dead on the grave of Saju and that Nakshi Kantha is in his hands. Villagers identify that man as Rupai
