Yesterday I talked with many
Translated by: Bibekananda Choudhury.
Origin (Assamese) : Neelabh Sourav
There was a time - you talked to me.
Today is another time - I am talking to you.
There was a time - you had been oblivious
Today is another time - I am oblivious
Wheel rotates thus
Yesterday as I talked I did not feel as before
Because you had been in the West - I in the east
There had been a time you were dissatisfied with something
Today is another time something happened
You like something
I am a fallen tree but old
As you cross you can kick me
But on return you can still talk to me
Yesterday you talked haltingly pondering on between
Because you very well know
You have laid a trap
Without letting the lion or the mouse
To get the scent of it
Cautiously
Pacifying yourself
Yesterday
You taught the rule of
Not the light or the ray
But of darkness
Yesterday you knew
You were vouching against yourself
