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.

Friendly Consent

Come, let's be friends.
All right.

Nothing more than that, though!
Yes yes, of course!

There'll be no obligations or expectations between us, ever—how's that?
Yes, I agree!

One day...

What happened, it's nothing really. These things happen!
Absolutely right! Of course they do!

I wasn't at fault here, was I?
What are you saying! The question doesn't even arise!

In friendship everything happens, even if not in love! Am I wrong?
That's exactly what I was going to say!

Whatever lies between us—
all of it is friendship!
There's no love here, no romance,
only the mutual consent of friends.
