Poem Translation (āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাā§° āĻ…āύুāĻŦাāĻĻ)

I quarrelled with my brother,
āĻŽāχ āĻŽোā§° āĻ­াāχāϟিā§° āϏৈāϤে āĻ•াāϜিāϝ়া āϕ⧰িāϞোঁ,
I don't know what about,
āĻ•িāĻšā§° āĻ“āĻĒā§°āϤ āϕ⧰িāϞোঁ, āύাāϜাāύো,
One thing led to another
āĻāϟা āĻ•āĻĨাā§° āĻĒā§°া āφāύ āĻāϟা āĻ•āĻĨা āĻ“āϞাāϞ
And somehow we fell out.
āφ⧰ু āĻ•িāĻŦা āύāĻšāϝ় āĻ•িāĻŦা āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•াā§°ে āφāĻŽি āĻ•াāϜিāϝ়াāϤ āϞিāĻĒ্āϤ āĻš’āϞোঁ।

āĻ•াāϜিāϝ়াāϟোā§° āφ⧰āĻŽ্āĻ­āĻŖি āφāĻ›িāϞ āϏাāĻŽাāύ্āϝ,
The end of it was strong,
āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āĻļেāώāϤ āχ āĻļāĻ•্āϤিāĻļাāϞী āĻšৈ āĻĒā§°িāϞ,
He said he was right,
āϏি āĻ•’āϞে āϝে āϏি āĻļুāĻĻ্āϧ,
I know he was wrong!
āĻŽāχ āϜাāύো āϝে āϏি āĻ­ুāϞ āφāĻ›িāϞ!
We hated one another.
āφāĻŽি āχāϜāύে āϏিāϜāύāĻ• āϘৃāĻŖা āϕ⧰িāϞোঁ।
The afternoon turned black.
āφāĻŦেāϞিāϟো āĻ…āύ্āϧāĻ•াā§° āĻšৈ āĻĒā§°িāϞ।
Then suddenly my brother
āϤাā§° āĻĒিāĻ›āϤ āĻšāĻ াāϤে āĻŽোā§° āĻ­াāχāϟিāϝ়ে
Thumped me on the back,
āĻŽোā§° āĻĒিāĻ িāϤ āĻāϟা āĻ েāĻ•েāϚা āĻŽাā§°িāϞে,
And said, 'Oh, Come along!
āφ⧰ু āĻ•’āϞে, 'āĻ…', āφāĻšা āĻŦাā§°ু!
We can't go on all night...
āφāĻŽি āĻ—োāϟেāχ ā§°াāϤিāϟো āĻāύেāĻ•ৈ āĻĨাāĻ•িāĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°োঁ...
I was in the wrong.'
āĻ­ুāϞ āĻŽোā§° āφāĻ›িāϞ।'
So he was in the right.
āϤেāύ্āϤে āϏিāĻšে āĻļুāĻĻ্āϧ āφāĻ›িāϞ।
