Analysis of What a Fire
Kazi Nazrul Islam 1899 (Churulia) – 1976 (Dhaka)
What a fire burns on, O confidante,
What a fire it is!
My eyes are filled with tears, O confidante
What a fire burns in my heart!
I went callous crazy, not forsaking the body,
on this moonface fell the shadow of my eclipsed love.
my heart swells up with waves of seven seas
What a fire bums on, what a fire it is!
[Original: Ki Anol jole go shoi; Translation: Mohammad Nurul Huda]
