Bengali Poetry (Translated)

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.
