midnight in the garden of peace

Is it still alive

Oh dear

No way, no way

Cleaving the heart

comes out

a curious sigh

In the teary gaze

is it still alive

(Original Assamese poem titled “Anurag tomar babe”)

Tr. © Nirendra Nath Thakuria

Chitralekha

Having painted on both eyes

suddenly vanished

Chitralekha the enchantress

She planted

in heart

the garden of Babylon

It is swaying

in heart

heavenly flowers are blooming
