Rapper Noman Releases Powerful Protest Track “Poriborton Chai”
“Poriborton Chai” uses bold lyrics and sharp storytelling to reflect widespread public frustration. Themes such as corruption, abuse of power, extortion, rising living costs, bureaucratic complications, lack of political accountability, and the marginalization of ordinary citizens are woven throughout the track.
The recurring line, “Poriborton chai, deshta cholbe na ager moton” (We want change, the country cannot go on like this), positions the song not just as an act of protest, but as a call for civic awareness. Rather than offering slogans, the track urges listeners to question, reflect, and think critically before placing trust, casting votes, or choosing leaders.
Without naming any political party or individual, the song challenges the system itself. It raises uncomfortable but necessary questions about the sources of political wealth, the relationship between power and administration, the culture of false cases, neglect of expatriates, and structural weaknesses within the education system. This systemic critique stands out as one of the song’s strongest elements.
The official poster of the track also carries symbolic weight. It features two individuals seated facing opposite directions on a moving scooter—an image representing people living in the same country yet experiencing entirely different realities.
Speaking about the song, rapper Noman said:
“This song is not meant to attack anyone. It’s meant to teach people to ask questions. Before voting, before believing, and before choosing leaders—we want people to think.”
Since its release, “Poriborton Chai” has sparked discussion among listeners and is being widely shared on social media. Many see it as a timely and relevant addition to the protest hip-hop and political satire movement.
The song is written by Saif Ali, composed and performed by A. B. M. Noman Azad, with music production by Amir Hamza Khan. The screenplay and direction were handled by Nazmul Muhammad.
“Poriborton Chai” is currently available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, and Facebook.
