Let your music fall against my face
like the Shravan rain.
On my chest, in my eyes.
With the morning light,
and through the darkness of the night,
let it fall on my everyday pain and happiness.
Let it fall, let it fall like the Shravan rain.
How you revive a fruitless, flowerless branch
with the monsoon breeze; revive me
so with your music. Let it seep through
my wretched-wrought,
lifeless self. On life’s unending thirst, life’s unending hunger,
unceasingly;
let it fall, let it fall like the Shravan rain.
(This is my translation of a Bengali song, ‘শ্রাবণের ধারার মতো পড়ুক ঝরে’, by Rabindranath Tagore)
O Great Life
(A slightly modified version of a translation by Osman Gani)
O Great Life! No more of this Poetry,
Now bring the hard, harsh Prose,
Let the poetic-tender-chime dissolve,
Strike the tough hammer of Prose today!
(We) need not of the softness of Poetry–
Poetry, today I give you a break,
For in the realm of Hunger, the world is prosaic:
The Full Moon appears to be a scorched bread.
অধিকারলাভের যে মর্যাদা আছে, সেই মর্যাদা রক্ষা করিতে হইলে অধিকারপ্রয়োগকে সংযত করিতে হয়। যতটা পাওয়া যায় ততটা লইয়া টানাটানি করা কাঙালকেই শোভা পায় — ভোগকে খর্ব করিলেই সম্পদের যথার্থ গৌরব
