I'm ready to translate your Bengali poetry into English. Please share the Bengali text you'd like me to translate, and I'll create a literary translation that captures the essence, voice, and emotional truth of the original while maintaining natural, idiomatic English that reads as literature in its own right.

Contradiction

The one who wanted to come,
I wouldn't let him in.
The one who came—it's not
as if he forced his way.

Still I keep staring at the door.
This staring...
is it waiting for one who'll never return,
or is it some premonition of departure,
or is this merely a kind of escapism—
without bringing any of this to mind...
I just keep staring at the door.

Does time, then, not love time?
Or is this contradiction of time
something that happens only to me?
