Believe But In Another Way Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

Believe But In Another Way

Rating: 4.5


In the thousands of believing pores
I am a scattered abortive child of faith

Free, cap-a-pie I am on this earth
Like nature in the embryo of birth and death circles

For the peace of heaven or fear of hell
I cannot live in biased holiness, God, gods

I talk with myself, inside dweller
I believe but in another way of the present

Imperceptible I invite in the whirling love spirit
To make discernible in the entire canal of body

I am on the scaffold for my materialistic truth
Tearing the fatalistic life of the Scriptures

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by the below poem-

নাস্তিক
- নির্মলেন্দু গুন

নেই স্বর্গলোভ কিংবা কল্প-নরকের ভয়,
অলীক সাফল্যমুক্ত কর্মময় পৃথিবী আমার।

চর্মচোখে যা যা দেখি, শারীরিক ইন্দ্রিয় যা ধরে, তাকেই গ্রহণ করি।
জানি, নিরাকার অপ্রত্যক্ষ শুধুই ছলনা,
বিশ্বাস করিনা ভাগ্যে, দেবতার বরে।

আমার জগত মুগ্ধ বাস্তবের বস্তপুঞ্জে ঠাসা,
তাই সে ইন্দ্রিয়গ্রাহ্য, অতীন্দ্রিয় নয়।
অন্ধতার বধ্যভূমি আমার হৃদয়।

সেই শ্রেষ্ঠ মানব সন্তান, যার মন মুক্ত ভগবান।
আমার মস্তক নিত্য নত সেই নাস্তিকের তরে।

Atheist
-Nirmalendu Goon (Prominent Poet of Bangladesh)

I've no greed of heaven or fear of imaginative hell
My world is fictitious free full of real activities.

I accept whatever I see with my skin-eyes, whatever my physical senses hold.
I know, formless imperceptible is just deception,
I don't believe in fate, in blessings of God.

My world is full of fascinating realities,
So that's perceptible, not transcendental.
The slaughterhouse of blindness is my heart.

That best human child, whose mind is God free.
My head is always bowed to that atheist

(Mahtab Bangalee in English translation)
