Bengali Poetry (Translated)

Rather, take some rest

Show me then...
where is your fire?
Are you the vessel of that flame
that could extinguish this cold heart
in a single moment?

Do you know
how easily
a person's path forward
drowns
when love is found and lost?

Can you truly
bring cupped handfuls
of water for this thirst?
Can you recognize
the cascade of nectar?

None of this—
you cannot do any of it, can you?
Child, you'd better rest!
