Never again will I summon

 না না না ডাকব না, ডাকব না    
 Na na na dakbo na dakbo na

Never again will I summon from the outside, 
                           As I have always done;
If I can, my missives I will convey
                To his heart, and draw him near.
My soul stirs with pain
          In her longing to give,
          Yet where does he wander,
                           The one to receive?
Between the recipient and giver,
        Who can end the strife, eternal?
Wont my river of pain flow into his tears,
        Like the confluence of waters
            Of a fair Ganges and dark Yamuna?
What was that melody
    Resonating all by herself?
      She chose to arrive in my heart 
          And has secretly left a message of hope.
