Oh, dear evening star <br />Whose bride art thou with veils, <br />In the glances of your eyes, <br />Whose forgotten face dwells? <br /> <br />Evening lamp, with a veiI to hide, <br />And casting glances at this bride, <br />Though often her looks quiver, <br />This goes on for ever. <br /> <br />Whose lost bride is she? <br />At dusk, mute and beside me, <br />To arouse the yearning for a home, <br />In the heart of a homeless wanderer. <br /> <br />Perpetually you rise and sink, <br />With a tender pallid wink, <br />For whom, you heavenly bride? <br />Where does your beloved abide! <br /> <br />[Translation: Syed Mujibul Huq]<br /><br />Kazi Nazrul Islam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/evening-star-5/
