Get me flowers from the tree now: Shakti Chattopadhyay

Get me flowers from the tree now
Get me all the flowers right now
All of them will fall to earth at dusk
I will not be here either at dusk
I will go away somewhere at dusk
I will never stay here at dusk
Get me flowers from the tree now
Love me close so you can be free now

    An ardent follower of your blogs, and I find one more reason to love it every time I read a new post of yours. One thing, just a request, could you please post the original Bangla poems, as in Bangla using the English alphabets? It is just that reading the two at the same time conveys a deeper sense for me.
