Bengali Poetry (Translated)

What Each One Seeks

: What do you seek, always seeking like this?
: Body, only body.

: What do you seek, always seeking like this?
: Love, only love.

: To get body, what do you do?
: I sit begging for pleasure, or I sit giving love.

: To get love, what do you do?
: I sit begging with heart, or I sit giving body.

: Has the body's thirst been quenched?
: To remain thirsting seems to be written on my forehead!

: Has love's thirst been quenched?
: To remain thirsting seems to be written on my forehead!

The body-hunter laughs when he gets body.
The love-beggar laughs when he gets love.
Seeing all this, the Creator laughs softly.
