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.

don't turn me into goods to be exchanged!

Beloved, whatever I feel for you
cannot be bartered away.
Beloved, know this—the one who loses
to you each moment with a smile,
the whole world knows as unconquerable!
In love, to lose is the very name of victory!
