translated one of Nirmolendu Goon’s famous poems, Jathra-Bhongo যাত্রা-ভংগ
Departure-break
--------------------
Touch you not with my hand
But feel you with my heart
Turn two not into one
But one into two.
Sleep not in bullion
But sleep in love
How would you go?
Stepping forward, shadows of feet linger
You’ll find me certainly
Yet if you say goodbye
There’s no path ahead, you’ll see.
I’ll touch you then a little
Hands will hug your departing two feet
You’ll be boarding my boat
My Styx-crossing boat.
Sit in the boat we will indeed
And sleep in the boat too;
Will touch your face not with hand
But stroke with sorrows
How would you go?
