I am still living!!!

This is one bengali poem written by me during my college days!!!
It portrays the very basic theme of today's world...that, Life must go on.

Ami Benche Achi

Oke bole dis "Ami paltaini"
Roj ghum theke otha, abar shute jawa, thik ager motoi,
Bole dis "Ami ager motoi achi"
Kaaj kori, tai shomoy kete jai!
Tobu jakhon ekla sudhu amar songe ami,
Apon mone shuye thaki ghumer opekkhay
Keno janina, balish bhije jai!!!

Oke bole dis "Ami ajo hashi"
Megh shorle roder jhiliker moto
Bole dis "Ami ajo themey nei"
Otit tai dure shore jai!
Tobu jakhon mone pore sei jhorer raat,
Osojjho bethai bhora amar e jibon
Keno janina, stobdho hoya jai!!!

Oke bole dis "Ami besh bhalo bhabei achi"
Ami ar amar jibon, ar kake chai?
Bole dis "Ami ajo obhabi noi"
Jol, batash, shob kichui to pai!
Tobu jakhon, khuje berai, chotto sishur moto,
Karo buker majhe amar bhalobashar ashroi
Keno janina, Prithibita samshan hoye jai!!!

This is the English translation of this poem. It's done by Shaapla, a very talented friend of mine.

I am Still alive

Tell him "i havent changed."
I wake up everyday, and go to sleep, just like before,
Tell him "i am just like i was"
Time passes simply cause i work.
But,even then, when its just I with me,
By myself,i wait for sleep
I find my pillow wet with tears.

Tell him "i still laugh now"
Like the glittering sunlight when the clouds part
Tell him "even today im not stuck"
Thats why my past i have left behind.
Yet when i remember that torrential night,
My life,so filled with pain.
For reasons unknown,seems immobile.

Tell him "im doing well"
Its me and my life.who needs anyone else?
Tell him "today im not devoid"
Water,air,i get everything!
Yet,when i wander like a small child,
looking,The sanctity of my love on someones chest
For reasons unknown,the world suddenly seems empty.

Thank you Shaaple for your tremendous effort!!!
