দিবস রজনী, আমি যেন কার
dibosho rojoni ami jeno kaar
Night and day for whom I stay
Agog with expectation
Thus enraptured is my heart
Startled so my hearing
These eyes fervid with yearning
Restlessly I roam around
Ever hoping for a glimpse --
“Who comes” I look with a start
At each tweet in the forests
In wakeful hours I see not
I live in hope of dreams --
If I sight in veil of sleep
Ensnare I will in dreams
One I love so much
Want with all my heart
Never do I feel
With me she is not
As if my deep desire
A force passionate
Draws her close to me
(another version by Anondo Majumdar)
For whom do I keep my hope alight,
Night and day, I wonder.
My mind so heedful,
My ears so alert,
My eyes so keen with longing.
Restless, I wander,
Hoping to catch his glimpse.
Even when a bird whistles in the trees
Startled, 'Who comes there!', I wonder.
He is never there in my wakeful hour,
I await him in my dreams
As if to secure him with reverie,
In the hidden canopy of my slumber.
Someone so profoundly I love,
Someone so profusely I desire
Would he still be far away from me?
Would my impassioned heart
Not be enough to summon him?

ReplyDeleteAll day and all night I keep hoping
To catch a glance of the elusive you.
My mind, my ears keep I sharp
Avid eyes keep I gazing
Keep I that thirst unceasing.
Restive keep I roaming
Prepared am I for a rendezvous.
Letting out an impulsive "Hello?"
As startle I at a garden bird's tweet.
If my wakeful wait goes futile,
Still wait will I for her into my dream.
If she secretly slips from behind my sleepy veil
Will make I some surreal threads
And draw her close by me.
Never did feel I lost her,
My amorous she.
Always believe I my ardent longings
And unbridled emotions
Will pull her right before me.
Nice
