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.

Lately this rule

 
Those who don't understand—
don't stop for them.
Those who do understand—
don't stop for them either.


Those who don't stop you—
don't try to understand them.
Those who do stop you—
don't try to understand them either.


When sleep comes, sleep;
keep the door closed.
When sleep won't come, don't sleep;
keep the door closed.


In the room where you feel good,
keep a door in that room.
Make the walls strong too.
The wages of the builders
who made your room—
put those in your own pocket.


They will come. They have to come.
Let them come. When they do,
a cup of tea with two biscuits.
Keep a small table outside the door,
with a stool or two.
