Bengali Poetry (Translated)

Liberation in Love

I used to love you once,
now I am afraid.

You used to scatter love,
now you scatter unrest.

What restlessness you call love,
I call anxiety.

You live in constant fear of losing me,
I live in constant fear of losing myself.

To you, love is a kind of guard duty,
to me, love is simply freedom.

What remains after holding on is not love;
rather, what remains after letting go—that is love.
