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.

The Joy of Bringing Down Melancholy

1 min read By Sushanta Paul 


You turn away in sleep—
don't deepen my torment.
Can I claim your warmth
as my own?

You merge with my deepest slumber...
in love's fierce urgency.
Filling me with waiting's restless kisses,
will you grant me permission today
to touch your being
with profound longing?

On my lips
you wove eternal joy...
as if your long breath
remains utterly reluctant
to let melancholy descend.
