Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on July 11, 1936)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Al Mahmud! Your poetic brilliance shines brighter than ever, making us wonder if your pen secretly dips into a magical inkpot. From "Kaler Kalosh" to "Sonali Kabin," you've gifted Bengali literature timeless treasures that continue enchanting readers across generations.

Winning the Bangla Academy Award back in 1968 was just one of many milestones—though rumor has it, even today your verses make dictionaries blush and metaphors dance joyfully. May this birthday bring you as much delight as you've given us through masterpieces like "Mayabi Porda Dule Otho." Keep inspiring smiles and stirring hearts forever!
