i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter

all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

প্রণয় ব্যক্ত to me

আপনি are not
crazy enough
আপনি don’t
fit this house

i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains

প্রণয় said

আপনি are not
intoxicated enough
আপনি don’t
fit the group

i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness

প্রণয় said

আপনি are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism

i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all

প্রণয় said

আপনি are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you

i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no আরো crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now

প্রণয় said

আপনি are a teacher
আপনি are a head
and for everyone
আপনি are a leader

i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes

প্রণয় said

আপনি already have
your own wings
i will not give you
আরো feathers

and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life

now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light
