    Jibanananda Das
    “অদ্ভুত আঁধার এক এসেছে এ-পৃথিবীতে আজ,
    যারা অন্ধ সবচেয়ে বেশি আজ চোখে দেখে তারা;
    যাদের হৃদয়ে কোনো প্রেম নেই—প্রীতি নেই—করুণার আলোড়ন নেই
    পৃথিবী অচল আজ তাদের সুপরামর্শ ছাড়া।
    যাদের গভীর আস্থা আছে আজো মানুষের প্রতি
    এখনো যাদের কাছে স্বাভাবিক ব'লে মনে হয়
    মহৎ সত্য বা রীতি, কিংবা শিল্প অথবা সাধনা
    শকুন ও শেয়ালের খাদ্য আজ তাদের হৃদয়।

    A strange darkness has come upon the world today.
    They who are most blind now see,
    Those whose hearts lack love, lack warmth, lack pity's stirrings,
    Without their fine advice, the world today dare not make a move.
    They who yet possess an abiding faith in man,
    To whom still now high truths or age-old customs,
    Or industry or austere effort all seem natural,
    Their hearts are victuals for the vulture and the jackal.

    Translated by: Clinton B. Seely”
    Jibanananda Das, বনলতা সেন
