বিস্মৃতি
এখন তোমার আর কোনো কিছু মনে করতে পারিনা-
তোমার ভুরু কেমন,
হাসলে ঠোঁট কতটুকু বাঁকে,
এমনকি তোমার আদর করার ভঙ্গিটুকুও
স্মৃতিতে আর নেই।
সেদিন কি বৃষ্টি ছিলো? তাও মনে নেই;
তবু জানি তুমি এসেছিলে কবে যেনো একদিন!
I'd die at fifty five
I’d die at fifty five—
A dream told.
I lived in a valley, a green valley
Under the blue sky;
Clouds came floating in
Like snow white lambs;
God sitting above the cloud
Was quite a gentleman;
His face clean shaven
With a Jinnah cap on.
His index finger was a
Magic wand, made things
Happen at his command.
Now that the shade is gone, the
Grey clouds weep and wisdom
Saddens my mind;
Happiness melts away
Leaving no trace behind.
Peace descends like mist,
Life stretches out like landscape
And is calm at the sunset—-
When I am fifty five.
