Time to leave, yet

আমার যাবার বেলায় পিছু ডাকে
amar jabar belay pichhu daake

Time to leave, yet the first rays of sun
Beckon through frayed clouds
Pressing me to return
A sombre bird of monsoon
Implores that I turn
From her secret, wild hideout
A swelling stream hastens along
Below a penumbra of branches;
Who does she seek, as she calls back?
Who, in my heart, ever so often
Ushers back the distant, dewy pilgrim
On his pensive, parting dawn?
