Time and again in my heart

শুনি ক্ষণে ক্ষণে মনে মনে
shuni khone khone mone mone

Time and again in my heart
I listen to the summons
Of an unfathomable sea
And my restive spirit
Longs to abandon my home
Plunging into full tide
Immersing in showers
Dousing all apprehension
To become fresh and free
From fruitless, searing passions

There rise the waves
And in a strange likeness
Ripples surge in my person

Such impassioned eagerness
In the sky and waters,
Like a distraught fairy in her flight
Her cloak drifting with the breeze
And across the river banks
Her ankle bells resounding afar
