Your distant eyes are like restless birds of the forest

কোথা বাইরে দূরে যায়রে উড়ে
kotha baire dure jayre uRe

Your distant eyes are like
Restless birds of the forest
As they search from afar,
And fly back in plight
To the wilderness

Yet a day will come when
A beautiful melody will usher them in,
And they will happily
Accept the bondage of love,
Ending a long wandering quest

But now, your distant eyes
Are like restless birds of the forest,
Flying back in plight to the wilderness

You seem heedless of the one
Who quietly leaves his message at your door
Only listening to the southern breeze
Bearing its secret notes

Silently an eternal spring
Steps into your heart, in enchanting melody,
In blissful tunes,
In the scent of blossoms,
Yet, you have vainly searched for all
Outside your heart's premises

And now your distant eyes
Are like restless birds of the forest,
Flying back in plight to the wilderness
