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.

Delusion

I mistook the rose you dropped along your path for love!
Yes, I was wrong!
I forgot to notice the thorns that came with the rose!
I was so enchanted by your spell that even in poison I found nectar!

You sold all my emotions in exchange for some measure of deception, at quite a steep price!
You snatched away my words as the rightful reward for becoming inhuman!
For just a few days, through your betrayal, you managed to become a perfect false lover, to perform the drama of love with flawless acting!

If only you knew—
how agonizing this deception is,
how unbearably painful this lie,
how brutal this hidden truth of yours,
then you would at least once
be terribly, terrifyingly afraid!
You would truly feel the sharp agony of death!
