Abstract	Abstract: The study examines how far the translated versions of a poem remain close to the original text in the respect of capturing the meaning of the original. For doing this, three versions of the Bangla poem “Mŗityur Āgē,” by Jibanananda Das are purposively taken into consideration. Data are collected through textual analysis of the original poem and its translated versions produced by Clinton B. Seely, Fakrul Alam and Chidananda Das Gupta. The findings show that the versions Fakrul Alam is closer to the original poem than the other versions, while Chidananda Das Gupta’s version of the poem is far away from the original poem.
