It is very common to analyze literary works within the boundary of literary stylistics, but analyzing the beauty of literature with the eye of linguistics, especially within the area of speech act should also be a sphere to focus on. Speech acts are the action one performs through utterance. This paper is endeavored to analyze the translated version of the poem “Abar Ashibo fire”- Jibanananda Das by Clinton B. Seely through the light of speech acts as it would help the reader to get a better understanding of the literal as well as the implied meaning of the poem. The poet tries to give the essence of his longing for the native land and to show this longing mostly what kind of speech acts has been used by him is going to be the main focus of this paper and how this speech acts are helping to flourish the essence of his diasporic attitude is also a point to look upon. This paper will use Searle’s(1969) concept of the Speech Act as a tool. People are tending to see it as nature poetry so this paper is an attempt to establish its diasporic attitude.
