I am the flame of the evening lamp

আমি সন্ধ্যাদীপের শিখা
aami shondhyadeeper shikha

I am the flame of the evening lamp
The forehead of darkness I anoint with a holy mark
The touch of my radiance ignites a secret thrill in it’s dreams
In it’s heart is etched my first love letter
My celebration is in silence beneath a sky bereft of birdsong
When the young sun steps out
When the world is awakened at dawn
I fade away like a fleeting mirage
