Golden Cage



Dinguli Mor Sonar Khanchai

those
many-hued days of mine
did not remain 
in the golden cage 
I made for them
they could not bear 
the bonds of laughter and tears

I had hoped 
that they would learn 
the language of the song of my heart
but they flew away
without baring their hearts

as in a dream 
I see those days
some forms that hover 
around that golden cage
now lying shattered

can so much pain be imaginary
or are they only shadow birds
that they said nothing 
even to the skies

din guli more shonaar khaanchaaye
royilo na, royilo na
shei jey aamaar nana rongeir din guli
kaanna haashir baadhon
taara shoilo na, shoilo na
shei jey aamaar
nana rongeir din guli

aamaar praaneir gaaneir bhaasha
shikhbey taara chhilo asha
udey gailo 
udey gailo
shokole kotha boilo na 
koilo na
shei jey aamaar 
nana rongeir din guli

shopone dekhi jaino tara kara 
shey ferey aamaar
bhaanga khaanchaar
chaaro pashey

aito bedon hoye ki faaki
ora ki shobe
chhayyar paakhi 
aakaash paarey 
kichhui ki go koilo na, koilo na
shei jey aamaar 
nana rongeir din guli
