Today, you, the brightest minds of Sirajganj district, are here.

For this, I am most proud and happy.

For the first time in your lives, you have received financial support. But it is not support; it is your achievement, because through study and competition, you have won a scholarship.

This is a great blessing for you. And for this achievement, your teachers, your respected teachers, have helped you with all their heart.

So come. On this day, I call on everyone: whatever I have said is not advice. It is my prayer to Almighty Allah. I believe that with this prayer of mine you will agree too. Will you or not? Say it together.

You have to say it loudly.

Can you or can’t you? Say Insha’Allah.

(Students) Insha’Allah!

Louder!

(Students) Insha’Allah!

Insha’Allah, we can. So come: together, let us all become good people.

আজকে সিরাজগঞ্জ জেলার সর্বোচ্চ মেধা এখানে উপস্থিত আছো।

এর জন্যে আমি সবচেয়ে বেশি গর্বিত এবং আনন্দিত।

জীবনের প্রথম তোমরা একটা আর্থিক সহায়তা পেলে, কিন্তু এটা সহায়তা নয়, এটা তোমাদের অর্জন, যে তোমরা পড়াশোনা করে, প্রতিযোগিতা করে একটা বৃত্তি তোমরা পেয়েছো।

এটা তোমাদের জন্যে অনেক বড় একটি আশীর্বাদ, এবং এই অর্জনটা পাওয়ার জন্যে তোমাদের যাঁরা শিক্ষকমণ্ডলী আছেন, সম্মানিত শিক্ষকমণ্ডলী, তাঁরা তোমাদেরকে মনেপ্রাণে সাহায্য করেছেন।

তা আসো, আজকের এই দিনে আমি সবাইকে আহ্বান জানাই— আমি যা কিছু বললাম, এটা উপদেশ নয়, এটা আমার প্রার্থনা মহান আল্লাহ পাকের কাছে। আমি বিশ্বাস করি, আমার এই প্রার্থনার সঙ্গে তোমরাও একমত হবে। হবে কিনা, বলো? সমস্বরে বলো।

জোরে কথা বলতে হবে।

পারবে কি পারবে না? ইনশাআল্লাহ বলো।

(শিক্ষার্থীরা) ইনশাআল্লাহ!

আরো জোরে!

(শিক্ষার্থীরা) ইনশাআল্লাহ!

ইনশাআল্লাহ, পারবো। তা আসো, আমরা সবাই মিলে ভালো মানুষ হয়ে যাব।
