But Listen, I Am Warning You Poem by Anna Akhmatova

But Listen, I Am Warning You

Rating: 2.9


But listen, I am warning you
I'm living for the very last time.
Not as a swallow, nor a maple,
Not as a reed, nor as a star,
Not as spring water,
Nor as the toll of bells…
Will I return to trouble men
Nor will I vex their dreams again
With my insatiable moans.

'Nor will I vex their dreams again With my insatiable moans' - The poem ends beautifully! Loved the expression 'insatiable moans'.

।। কিন্তু শোনো, সতর্ক করছি তোমাদের।। ● . কিন্তু শোনো, সতর্ক করছি তোমাদের একদম অন্তিম মুহূর্তের মধ্যে আছি । ভরতপাখি হিসেবে নয়, কিংবা নয় ম্যাপল হিসেবেও, নলখাগড়া হিসেবে নয়, কিংবা নয় নক্ষত্র হিসেবেও, ঝরনাজল হিসেবেও না, ঘন্টাধ্বনিও না... লোকেদের জঞ্জাল হতে আবারও কি ফিরবো আমি অতৃপ্তির আর্তনাদে তাদের স্বপ্নগুলোকে উত্যক্ত করতে আর ফিরবো না। . ● . * আনা আখমাতোভা(১৮৮৯ -১৯৬৬) : রুশিয়ান কবি। . ** বাঙলায়ন: #রহমানহেনরী; Bengalized by #RahmanHenry (১৩ পৌষ ১৪২৫, ২৭ ডিসেম্বর ২০১৮)

Will I return to trouble men Nor will I vex their dreams again With my insatiable moans....so my warning here is love; love for the men whom I gave the entire of me- maybe poetess wanted to say this; but lover man did not understand the poetic loving mind; beautiful poem shared
