ami raag kore bollam, ki kore jaanle? deho ki bhalo noi? se deho gelo konkhane?




At dawn she departed
My mind tried to console me -
” Everything is Maya”.
Look at this storybook,
the hairpin halfway amongst its leaves,
signaling the rest is unread;
if all these things are “Maya”,
then why should “she” be more unreal?”
My mind becomes silent.
A friend arrived and says:
“That which is good is real
it is never non-existent;
entire world preserves and cherishes it its chest
like a precious jewel in a necklace.”
I replied in anger: “How do you know?
Is a body not good? Where did that body go?
