You never had the fear of water
Swimming over the waves of turbulent river Karnaphuli.
You shivered a bit
In one luxurious evening
Autopsy of a young poet shivered touching the boat
An ancient wave of the river swing simultaneously.
One day on the waves of Karnaphuli
In the sylvan darkness
Somebody touched the youthfulness of the water
You could never be able to cross the river again,
After so many years
When you came near the bank of the river-
With chasing chastity,
Do you still shiver?
