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.

Keep the window open

Now my time has changed completely, root and branch!
The whole day long, time has granted me
only to think of you...endlessly!

Now I have endless leisure hours
to gaze at the sky!
The moon's solace, night's darkness, the sun's fury...
all colors will fade, surely
...such fairy tales!

I must lose myself utterly in you, water-wanderer.
In one dive I'll descend into the water, merge within you...
Today I give you my solemn word!

If someday in a whimsical brown-tinted afternoon,
standing by the wet window, gripping the grille,
tears fall torrentially at such an untimely hour,
then know that I will return, just as promised,
only for you at such a time...
Will you remember to keep that window open that day?
