The one you bid adieu in tears

বিদায় করেছ যারে নয়ন-জলে 
biday korechho jaare noyon-jole

The one you bid adieu in tears
How will you now summon her back

Beneath the Bakul tree tonight
Amidst a soft breeze and wild flowers
Does her memory haunt you now

That soft night too had melted into breath
Efflorescent all sides with wild flowers
If two words of love, whispered they had been
If only blossoms garlanded that neck
How will you now summon her back

Full moon nights they will come again
Return will never, one who has gone
Time auspicious it was
A lapse momentary --
Now inflamed is life seared by thirst
How will you now summon her back
