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.

Death Too When Difficult


Just a rope...
could solve all problems
before the next blink falls!
But... what would become then
of this faithful neck of mine?!

If only I had a pistol in hand,
my finger wouldn't tremble
even for a moment
while making myself happy!
But... those splattered bloodstains
on the wall—
who will wipe them away?!

Just like in stories and films...
I too could take that longed-for sip
from the cup of poison.
But... could this shaky stomach of mine
bear such weight?!

Let's say, from atop some high mountain
eyes closed, without giving
a single thought
a second chance in my head...
I leaped; to find release!
But... this lifelong fear of heights—
would it let me
go free so easily?!

What a life this is!
Agony to live, agony to die!
