Bengali Poetry (Translated)

The Desire to Write

Something utterly urgent — I want to write about it.
That writing would be for myself and for everyone else.
But what I'll write, I don't even know.

My overwhelming desire always leaves me discouraged.
I want to write, but what to write and how to write — I know nothing.
Because I don't know, I suffer so...
Though perhaps I could get by without suffering this much.
Life passes just fine... even without the pain!

What's the point of dreaming! What will be, will be!
Better instead to keep writing...
what feels good to write,
what's happening all around,
what can be written without knowing how to write!
