Suddenly a severe gusty wind
Arising from the ocean
Devastating township-village and thatched houses
Of the farmers into loneliness
Are you like that hurricane,
Or a fast-moving train whistling round?
Shaking vehemently the bridge
You bullet away to an obscure station
Trembling bridge does not know where
Lonely bridge had no responsibility to
Ply to the endless road stretched away
You’ve left on it the loads of burden of pain.
Translated by Siddidue Mahmudur Rahman
