চায়ের কাপে অল্প চিনি বেশী
এখনো কি উপন্যাসের নেশা
একইরকম লাজুক, এলোকেশী?
নাকি এখন বড়ো হয়েছিস বড়ো?
অবাধ্য চুল হার মেনেছে খোঁপায়?
চশমা ঢাকা চোখ আটকে স্ক্রীনে -
পুজোসংখ্যা বালিশে মুখ লুকায়?-
When Spring would come
And colour the boughs
With flowery imagination.
The wind blows
Through the branches bare
Whispering: "Put on a greeny dress
'Cause Spring is near."-
A splash of colours.
A wonderful cook -
A friend, a guide,
With nothing to hide.
Brimming with stories,
With happy endings.
Enthusiastic, lively;
A freshly painted rainbow
On my clear azure sky.-
Who keeps me awake
At three in the morning.
You made me believe
Love’s not a pay-cheque;
Sometimes Life needs a tuning,
And giving up is not an option.
Yes, you’re the exception.
Who chose to stay,
All through out the way.-
Memories came back.
Words which tore it apart
Flash past my window.
It's late, the clock has stopped,
Unmoved by time, just as I am.
Blank, all emotions robbed,
I sit, my heart ripped in my hand.
I stitch my heart, wearily,
Through the longness of night.
The dawn gives me hope.
Weaving golden threads
From the first rays of the sun,
I stitch my heart strong.
I've designed it with pain,
Embroidered with sequins of love
Of Life, of everything virtuous.
Now, I Live, and my heart beats steady.
