O Barsha Re : Brishtileena


'o borosha re
sobai toke baron kore sudhu ashare
aami jani aamar chokhe tor bas baro mas'


brishti rup aamar chokhe sapno ar tuli diye rong eke dei...bhalo lage janlay dariye brishti-r bahar dekhte, deho-money miya ki malhar er jhonkar shunte pai...tao brishti aamake jano bhijate pare na, aami chatok hoye protikhya kori...


Countless pearls of rain splashed…
As if droplets of multifarious hues
fell on my forehead, eyes-lashes, orifice…
overwhelmed, unfolded its colors;
A matrix, a flux, a rainbow on my canvas.
Like a flowing river I lie
Under the Aashar sky
my thirst to quench with more and more....
And yet never, never a single bead
Rain upon my parched lips!
Like a flowing river I lie
Under the Aashar sky
my thirst to quench with more and more....
And yet never, never a single bead
Rain upon my parched lips!
