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 We Ever Meet

June 15, 2025 1 min read By Sushanta Paul



The wounded bird from your heart's cage—
came to me today,
a note tied to the corner of its beak...
All this while I've been reading that letter!

I've heard you've changed,
only you wouldn't let me erase— 
my reflection drawn upon your heart.

Along some shadowy path—
you came to me in silence,
perhaps not to be bound by approaching enchantment...
only to let me know—
you are well.

I have not been spent...
I wait for you each day,
if ever we should meet—
don't hide your smile from me.
