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.

Greasy Evening

May 16, 2020 1 min read By Sushanta Paul

Yesterday I did not tell you
that I could no longer return to the page.

Yesterday I did not let you know
why even the wet tears caught
in my window's broken glass
could not hold me back.

Yesterday I did not explain to you
why my hand never trembled once
as I signed the contract of heartbreak.

Yesterday I did not make you understand
why, having lost love in the present's canvas,
the memory-screen of the past has grown dim today.

Yet after everything, what rings true now...
Against the faded backdrop of distance and wounded pride,
the snow-white morning that once blazed bright
is today nothing but a greasy evening!
