1.Sacrifice
The wife is burning the fog
When the wood finished
Prepared herself slicing to go inside .
আত্মাহুতি
মাটির চুলা
বানিয়ে কুয়াশা জ্বাল দিচ্ছে বউ
লাকড়ি
ফুরিয়ে গেলে
কেটেকুটে প্রস্তুত রাখে নিজেকে..
2.Family
After a while
I go to see
The pan it'self consumed all the milk.
সংসার
কিছুক্ষণ পর
গিয়ে দেখি
পাতিল নিজেই সব দুধ খেয়ে বসে আছে।
3.Marriage
Two clothes
They are relatives ,by fate.
বিবাহ
সুঁই বিদ্ধ
দু'টি কাপড়
ভাগ্যদোষে পরস্পর আত্মীয়।
4.Legacy
Father's rice plate beside mashed potato
Father turns into a fire fly sipping the moonbeam
Mother crosses the life line
By running in the darkmess of burnt pepper
The winter grown with panta rice and green chillies Declares my inheritance.
উত্তরাধিকার
জোছনা খেতে খেতে বাবা একদিন জোনাকি হয়ে যায়
পোড়ামরিচের অন্ধকারে দৌড়ে
আয়ুরেখা অতিক্রম করেছিল মা
পান্তাভাত আর কাঁচামরিচের পাশে উৎপন্ন শীতকাল
আমার উত্তরাধিকার।
5.Sister
Cooked the moon on the pan
Distributed
From village to village
Drawn by the yellow smell of meat
Comes out a blue deer from the woods
Looking for her lost sister.
বোন
ডেকচিতে রান্না করে
পাড়ায় পাড়ায় বন্টন করা হলো মাংস
মাংসের হলুদ ঘ্রাণে
বোনকে খুঁজতে
বনের ভেতর থেকে বেরিয়ে আসে একটি নীল হরিণ।
6.The sea
I bring the sea home
Jumps up Hilsa
While cutting with a bow
I discover
The sea splitting into two.
সমুদ্র
সমুদ্র নিয়ে আসি ঘরে
লাফ দেয় ইলিশমাছ
বটি দিয়ে মাছ কাটতে গিয়ে দেখি-
সমুদ্রটা
মাঝ বরাবর দুভাগ হয়ে যাচ্ছে...
