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.

Waiting

I will wait.
You said you would return.
Swearing by that false promise,
I will wait.

I know you cannot come back.
Why, you don't even know my address!
Even after all this uncertainty
I will stand here, steadfast.

Every Friday and Saturday I convince myself,
Today you will come.

When you don't,
I prepare again to wait for next week.

Eid, Puja, Pohela Boishakh...
Through every holiday I will keep waiting.

In all this waiting,
This time I will see the end of waiting itself!
