Abanee Are You Home

Dedicated to Nuhash Humayun Abanee, are you home? Closing the door, the neighborhood is sleeping Only heard a knock as the night creeps in Abanee, are you home? It rains here all-year-round Wanderer clouds get lost like herd Green Clover still blossom toward you The door get stuck, midway Abanee, are you home? Half-hearted truth, traveling far heartache in dreamland, keeps me frozen Suddenly, hear that knock, once more Abanee, are you home? A translation of a poem of Shakti Chattopadhyay
