A Moments Indulgence

Rating: 3.6


I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works
that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.

Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite,
and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.

Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; and
the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.

Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing
dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure.

আমি আমায় করব বড়ো এই তো তোমার মায়া— তোমার আলো রাঙিয়ে দিয়ে ফেলব রঙিন ছায়া। তুমি তোমায় রাখবে দূরে, ডাকবে তারে নানা সুরে, আপ্নারি বিরহ তোমার আমায় নিল কায়া।
