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.

Going...

I've packed it all up, my way;
keep my glass bangles and my old kohl-pot, carefully.

The rains that soak your veranda—from today you'll have to watch them alone;
when it drizzles in sunlight, you'll have to name it the fox's wedding by yourself.

Learn a little sewing now, won't you? When a shirt button tears off suddenly as you rush to work, mend it yourself.
When your hand touches a hot pan, it burns. If that should happen, quickly dab some honey on the burnt spot.

When you're ill, don't pretend to be well—go to the doctor;
and cut down on cigarettes, bit by bit.

Come back, don't go away...don't say such things to me ever again;
thinking of you, I want to weep for the rest of my life.
