Hiren Bhattacharya
What burns in my heart! My woes, my joys What keeps it widening more! Within my feelings The buzz of your love Burns so briskly That its ashes overfill The inner and outer spaces of my heart. Perhaps your cheeky love Shall slowly burn me down into ashes.
Translated by Krishna Dulal Barua
