Bengali Poetry (Translated)

Desires for the Next Life

In this life, there's no way
I could ever have you;
if there's another birth to come,
if I truly return to this world again,
as human or bird, insect...
whatever I become,
let me find you
in that life.

You will be mine alone then,
and I will be singular—
no other's touch will remain,
no other embrace will linger,
only my boundless love will be.

In the next life, don't speak false, don't deceive,
in the next life, love—without pretense.

I'll spend this life without you,
with only memories.
In the next life I'll find you, truly be yours.
