Some unknown faces

Some unknown faces
Chirp an unsung tune
On my withered window sill,
Every morn....
Sometimes, a little squirrel squeaks,
Or a soothing breeze wakes me up by a ravenous call,
Every morn....
Their song beckons my soul, an untouched chord
Of my silent self...
My stranger heart replies,
To a stranger friend of mine..

Where misty

Where misty words slip into a soft slumber,
Where scent of an unsung song,
flock in the virgin winds,
There, the twilight sky steals the rainbow, From a
weary, dreaming butterfly's wings.

Deception

You sought a rose from my bouquet, I spoke,
''These are offerings of my soul...
For my Lord, my
Light...''
Still you took a blossom,
by deceit, my dear..
And decked
your tresses and ears
Garlanded your neck
Like a fake goddess....
O my feigning beauty,
Don't you know,
The fragrance of sandal

Faith
    to realize
Seek

Not Two

Your presence, becomes
independent of my body
independent of my life
independent of my mind

Our existence remains indifferent,
entity remains one.

Situations and We

Dolts never cope up with any changing situations.
 
Clever always change themselves easily with changing situations.
 

Fragrance

Opened window :
your fragrance come with breezes.

Closed window :
my odor suffocates

Someone

Someone is playing
but only in front. 

Someone is not playing
but gaming from behind

Your vision

Your vision
enlighten my darkness.

Your vivacity
rives my obstacle.

(Bengali Version: বিন্দু ৬) 

[Translated By: Subhajit Roy]

Then

I could feel,
when you come

I know,
when you would say, "bye". 

But never felt your presence
Do you know,
where I was then?


(Bengali Version: তখন)
