ফুলটি পড়েছে কুয়াতে

বালতিটা নামিয়ে

আমাকে ওঠাতে হবে প্রায় পুরো জলটাকেই

ফুলটির কাছে পৌঁছতে

A Flower Fallen into the Well

Dropping a bucket

I have to draw most of the water out

To reach the flower

HOA RỤNG XUỐNG GIẾNG

Buông gàu

Múc gần cạn nước

Mới chạm bông hoa

বুড়ো লোক

সব দাঁত তার চলে গেছে

সে হাঁসে গাছটির পাশে

প্রকীর্ণ ফুলেদের সাথে

Old Man

All his teeth gone

He smiles next to the plant
With scattering flowers

CỤ GIÀ

Răng rụng hết

Cười bên gốc hoa

Lác đác vài bông

লক্ষ্য

এক বাসন্তী পাতা

ঝরে

গ্রীষ্মের পড়ে

Target

A leaf of spring
Falls
Right on summer

ĐÍCH

Chiếc lá mùa xuân

Rơi

Trúng mùa hè

বসন্ত শেষ

কি বৃষ্টিময়

যেই আমি কুশনটি ঝাঁকাই

বসন্ত চলে যায়

End of Spring

It’s so moist

As I shake a cushion

Spring goes by

CUỐI XUÂN

Ẩm

Rũ chiếc gối

Mùa qua

বসন্ত চলে যাচ্ছে

আমি ধরতে পাচ্ছি না

থাকছে খালি

এক ফালি ধোঁয়া

Spring Leaving

I cannot catch up

Only a thin

Streak of smoke remains

XUÂN ĐI

Tôi đuổi không kịp

Chỉ chạm

Làn khói mỏng

মার্চের শেষ

লাল কার্পাস ফুলেরা ফুটেছে

আমার অনুমান নেই

ক পা ফেলে পৌঁছবো গাছটিতে

End of March

Red cotton flowers blooming

I cannot guess

How many steps to reach the tree

CUỐI THÁNG BA

Hoa gạo đỏ rực

Không biết

Đến đó bao nhiêu bước

ঋতুদের মাঝে রাত

প্রায় ভোর

গভীর ঘুমে আমি

বুঝিনি শুয়েছি গ্রীষ্মের পাশেই

Night Between Seasons

Almost morning

In deep sleep I was not aware

Of lying next to summer

ĐÊM GIAO MÙA

Gần sáng

Ngủ say không biết

Nằm cạnh mùa hè

এই ভোরে

ভুলে গেছি ক্যালেন্ডারের পাতাটি ছিঁড়তে

এক বাটি জল

উষ্ণ হতে এত সময় নিচ্ছে

This Morning

I forget to peel off a calendar page

A pot of water

Takes longer to boil

SÁNG NAY

Quên bóc lịch

Đun nước

Lâu sôi

খুব ভোরে

দোর খুলতে গিয়ে

আমি ঝলসাই আমার মনে

দুই পৃথিবীর মাঝে

Early Morning

Going out to open the gate

I feel dazed

Between two worlds

SỚM

Mở cổng

Bâng khuâng

Hai thế giới

বাগানে গিয়ে

যখন আগাছা মুড়োই

ভোর আসে

আরো ভোরে

Going into the Garden

As I pull out weeds

Dawn comes

Earlier

RA VƯỜN

Nhổ cỏ

Bình minh đến

Sớm hơn

চানের পরে

আকাশটা

চলে যায় অন্য ঋতুতে

ম্যাগ্নোলিয়া গাছটা আরও বুড়ো হয়

After My Bath

The sky

Moves to another season

The magnolia tree grows older

TẮM XONG

Trời chuyển mùa

Cây mộc lan

Già đi

ভাগ্য

এখনো মুখভর্তি কফি নিয়ে

চড়ুই যুগলকে দেখি

মৈথুনরত এক আঁশফল গাছে

Luck

Still with a mouthful of coffee

I see a pair of sparrows

Copulating in a longan tree

MAY MẮN

Miệng ngậm café

Thấy chim sẻ

Giao phối trên cây nhãn

M.V.P
