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.

If I live in this life, that's why

Without thinking of you at all
my days would have rolled on just fine.
Everyone else is doing quite well—
just as they are; to them
you are dead!

They think,
since birth has already happened,
death will happen too—
just as yours did!
Without thinking of you at all
living life, the passing afternoons...
all of this would slip by in a snap!

Without falling in love with you
I would still be alive today, just fine.
Then why did we meet at all?
Why did you leave this way, abandoning me?
Why do I suffer thinking of you
in such routine fashion?

Because I found you, I never had you!
Because you came, you left this way!
Because you lived this life
today you died this way!
