Fakrul Alam’s Translation from Jibanananda Das
To a Pained One
“Kono ek Baethitake”
Now late at night you have a bed
A quiet and dark room
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Placidity and silence
Think of nothing more
Listen to no one speaking
Just wipe your bloodied heart clean
And tucked like the tuberose
Go to sleep.
