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.

Light Takes Flight

Heart's beloved,
memory's paper lantern!

Sweet smile,
cascade of words!

Flower bud,
I speak in love!

Foolish heart,
innocent life!

Pomegranate blossom,
alley of all seasons!

Dark beauty,
sacrifice of love!

Ox cart,
iron pulse!

Foreign songs,
tears in abundance!

Apple of the eye,
mine of affection!

Mischievous bird,
failed cupbearer!

Sound in rows,
heavy to hear!

Kanyakumari,
stubborn in lovelessness!

Camellia flower,
hill country's mistake!

Shy and square,
boat in hiding!

Goddess Devayani,
I bow to love!

Bakul flower,
the shell's confusion!

Dream's tether,
diamond nose-ring!

O eloquent one,
I recognize you through births and rebirths!
