Let’s Read
O say, what is that thing called light,
হে বলো, আলো কাকে বলে,
Which I can ne’er enjoy?
যা আমি উপভোগ করতে পারি না?
What is the blessing of the sight?
দৃষ্টির আশীর্বাদ টা কি?
O tell your poor blind boy!
হে তোমার গরীব অন্ধ ছেলেকে বলো!
You talk of wondrous things you see,
তুমি বিস্ময়কর জিনিসের কথা বলে যা তুমি দেখছ,
You say the sun shines bright;
তুমি বলো সূর্য উজ্জ্বল হয়;
I feel him warm, but how can he
আমি তাকে উষ্ণ অনুভব করি, কিন্তু সে কিভাবে পারে
Then make it day or night?
তাহলে এটা কি দিন বা রাত?
My day or night myself I make
আমার দিন বা রাত আমি নিজেই তৈরি করি
Whene’er I sleep or play;
আমি যখন ঘুমাই বা খেলি;
And could I ever keep awake
এবং আমি কি কখনও জেগে থাকতে পারি?
With me ’twere always day.
আমার সাথে সব সময়ই ছিল।
With heavy sighs I often hear
ভারী দীর্ঘশ্বাস প্রায়ই শুনতে পাই
You mourn my hapless woe;
তুমি আমার অসহায় দুর্ভোগের জন্য শোক কর;
But sure with patience I can bear
তবে নিশ্চিত ধৈর্য সহ্য করতে পারি
A loss I ne’er know.
আমি জানি না এমন একটি ক্ষতি।
Then let not what I cannot have
তাহলে আমার যা থাকতে পারে না তা হতে দাও
My cheer of mind destroy;
আমার মনের উল্লাস ধ্বংস;
Whilst thus I sing, I am a king,
এইভাবে গান গাই, আমি রাজা,
Although a poor blind boy.
যদিও একজন গরিব অন্ধ ছেলে।
