A poem on sadness

Sadness can be loved, sadness can be enjoyed! Sadness can be beautiful, yet unfathomable! Sadness may not always reflect your usual self, but yet you may enjoy it as the antithesis of happiness. Being sad is a curious state of mind, which has always fascinated me; may be because oftentimes i cannot understand it. That mystery behind sadness inspired me to write this Assamese poem (a simpler English translation is also provided). You will throughout feel that i have repeatedly tried to find the beauty behind the melancholy:

Dukh
Akou jadi tor sate hoy dekha
Kono nadir parot
Othoba kono paharar saat
Othoba jonake tuponi kadhi niya
Kono rati duporat
Mor bhoga pajar uoli joa berar aarat

Jadi toi aho
Kono bifal sitrakarar tulikar pahir bhajat
Othoba siyonri siyonri noikhanak dharxita kara
Kono naoriyar bothar kobat
Lothonga gasar nangoth daalat binoa sarair maatat

Jodihe toi aho axar botora loi
Otodine gupute rakha
Juktir pisar ojuktire bhora
Aru niraxar mer bandhi jobda kora
Eta dighal kobita sunaam tok

Hobo pare mor kobitar xaribor ekabeka
Patharar bokar dare sopsopia bhaxa
Tathapitu mok xunaboloi dibi
Tor sannidhar lunia smritire
Gadhi tola mor dukhar kabita
Ebar matho xunaboloi dibi

Part translation:

O sadness
If i ever see you again
Near the mighty rock where the stream stops for a while
Or along the path shadowed by the hillock

If you sneak through the broken walls
Of my ancient cottage
During some silly night when the moon steals my dreams

If you come through the sigh of a failed painter
That percolates through the petals he strikes
Or with the shouts of the river
When the boatman strides on her

If you come with a message of hope
Which the faraway bird sings
Over the naked branches of that old tree
I shall tell you the story
That i have kept secret
That i have filled with
The irrational behind the rational
And the words between the words

If you ever come, o sadness
I shall tell you my story of sadness!
