Bengali Poetry (Translated)

This pull, this refuge

 
This boy, were you born of stone?
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.
Even stone can be blessed with life!
...yours will come in time too.


You think, what a shameless girl!
Yes, I agree, I am shameless indeed!
I'm thrilled to be so utterly shameless!
The devotion it takes to be this shameless...you wouldn't understand.


Killed with kindness, from loving too much...have you ever heard such a thing?
That's exactly what I want to do to you!


Someone who speaks volumes in response
to just a word or two from another—
what else would you call such a person besides chatty and foolish?
If you ever figure it out, remember to let me know.


I know you don't want love from someone unworthy.
Knowing all this, I still couldn't hold back my love,
because the power to stop it belongs not just to me—it belongs to no one!
This is why every moment I caress you in feeling and love, and
keep you always swaying in that divine motion born of love!


When I desperately want to talk with you,
I torment you instead. Without tormenting you, I might just die!
But even then your silence reminds me all the more
of the misfortune of not having you close!
Stay well.
I won't bother you anymore.
...won't anymore.


There were some things to say.
They might sound a bit melodramatic, but they're deeply true!
Never stop talking to me.
Never leave me and go away.
I only need you to be here, nothing else matters.
Just stay connected to me, that's all, that's enough!
...you'll remember, won't you...always?


I love you so very much!
That's why from you, apart from one 'you'
I want nothing else at all!
