Debdip Maitra Poems

Aaj monta janina ki holo, aageo to brishti hoyechhe,
Aageo to aakashe megh ghoniye ondhokar korechhe,
Aageo to brishtir tapur-tupur rinijhini bajiyechhe janlar upor,
Tobe aaj keno ogochore nirob osrudhara basha bedhechhe chokher koner upor?
...

The silence looms large, echoing with words unsaid,
As our eyes meet again, after so many ages,
...

A sadness, a longing echo in the dark,
To ease the pain, wipe away the tears,
...

Ek poshla brishtir jhaptaa eshe achhre porlo mukher opor,

Ar ojante, okarone montake bedhe fello otiter smritijaale,
...

Letters I've written, never meaning to send,
Words said in jest, not meaning to offend.
...

Embarking upon a new way,
Leaving my past behind.
...

And waves after waves of pain crash upon my heart,
Breaking up into the foamy dance of revellers.
...

And that eye, beauty divine,

Takes me to places unknown.
...

Darkness engulfs me, as I sit alone,

In my empty room, feeling so forlorn.
...

The soul lives there in the silent breath,

And the heart wanders in search of its wealth.
...
