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.

Defiance of God

1.
We are the force of evil,
forever devoted to our wrongdoing.
Hatred and malice are our nature,
our religion is others' ruin;
we know neither reverence nor humble devotion.
We lead humanity always astray,
do everything from petty self-interest,
awaken in human hearts a craving for unrest.

2.
God-defiant am I, sinner, I am drunk with power,
I crush the weak, remain addicted to corruption.
Demon am I, keeping all under my rule,
I terrorize the gods with oppression;
I am the evildoer, forever devoted to injustice.

3.
Blood-thirsty demon am I...demon,
with fierce dominance all are under my sway.
Frenzied am I, terribly greedy,
tyrant, merciless and wrathful;
to quench my thirst I drink everyone's life essence.

4.
I who am a ghoul, born in the great vileness of sin,
frenzied in desire's flames, I perform obscene deeds.
In crushed and rotted matter lies my satisfaction,
with age I increase sin's dominion;
in disease, sorrow, and suffering I have built my faith.
Hell is my pleasure ground, I love hell,
in injustice and oppression I make truth homeless.
With filth and poison filled is the core of my vile age;
wherever there are sewers—reeking with putrid stench,
dwelling there brings great joy to this heart of mine.
