Translation: চোখের আলোয় দেখেছিলেম
চোখের আলোয় দেখেছিলেম চোখের বাহিরে।I used to see the world in the light of my eyes. অন্তরে আজ দেখব, যখন আলোক নাহি রে॥Today I look within, when there is no light. ধরায় যখন দাও না ধরা হৃদয় তখন তোমায় ভরা,When I can’t catch you in the world, when you fill the heart… এখন তোমার আপনContinue reading “Translation: চোখের আলোয় দেখেছিলেম”
