Translation of a poem by Debajyoti Mondal

The city has a 'heart'
This, for quite some time
The professor 
Has continuously proposed

There, one after another 
The lights shimmer 
And one slowly grows dimmer 
In front of the next 

Perhaps the professor 
Has found a heart 
In the specs of dead men...
Yesterday just before 
Having the dinner...  

From the heart of the specs 
Light
The light-dimming light
(Disperses into) descent  
Upon the glassy sky
The professor watches 
As the city's sky 
Melts into  
The spectacular sky
