If you will not save then why slay me

না বাঁচাবে আমায় যদি মারবে কেন তবে?
Na banchabe amay jodi marbe keno tobe (audio: Suchitra Mitra)

If you will not save
then why slay me?
Is there a meaning
to this grand agony?

I see the fire
in your arrow।
The earth trembles
at your feet.
As you make life
so do you hit.

I can feel how
you furrow my heart
to seek my gold.
But what makes you
think I own it?

I have a chest full of pain,
jewels for your crown.
Perhaps, my sorrow
will wake my heart
with dormant majesty.
