Bengali Poetry (Translated)

On a Small Budget

Beloved,
in this life of mine,
you were
like that blind man
who came to my door
leaning on his walking stick.

Seeing him,
moved by deep compassion,
I let him into my house,
gave him a place to sit
and went inside
to bring some food.

When I returned,
the man was gone,
and so was my wallet.

Breaking my trust,
you gained so little,
but trusting you,
I won back many times more
...at such a small cost!
