Discovered a translation of Bengali Poets today in my bookshelf. In particular, liked one poem by Sunil Gangopadhyay , one of my favourite Bengali poets, actually one of the few Bengali poets I've read. Have a look :
For Neera
Neera, take the purity of the moon
Take the distance of the night
Take the sandalwood breeze
The soothing simplicity of the virgin oil on the rivershore
The lemon-odour within the fist
Neera, turn your face towards me
I’ve preserved the most colourful sunset of the year
For you
Take the smile of the beggar boy
The fresh verdure of the Deodhar tree
The marvel of the green-beetle’s eyes
The whirlwind at a lonely afternoon
The tinkling chime of buffaloes in the woods
Take the silent tears
The wakeful loneliness at midnight
Neera, let the fog coated shiuli shower on you
Let a solitary nightbird whistle
For you
