Do you know
How much hunger stays concealed in a loaf of bread
How many dreams die captive inside a prison wall.
How much pain lies alone while dying in a hospital bed
How many seas does it take to make a raindrop ...
How many skies die along with a bird
How many kisses does a woman conceal in her lips
How much light does blindness rob
How much more would she keep me out of her self
What difference would writing poetry do in these troubled times.
How much hunger stays concealed in a loaf of bread
How many dreams die captive inside a prison wall.
How much pain lies alone while dying in a hospital bed
How many seas does it take to make a raindrop ...
How many skies die along with a bird
How many kisses does a woman conceal in her lips
How much light does blindness rob
How much more would she keep me out of her self
What difference would writing poetry do in these troubled times.
Translated by Deepanjan Banerjee from Nabarun Bhattacharya's poem!
