From the moonless.. sea.. of darkness..

নিবিড় অমা-তিমির হতে
(nibir ama timir hote)

From the moonless.. sea.. of darkness..
Embarked in full.. tide.. 
The sailing boat.. of a blossoming moon..

The earth.. filled.. with unseen.. flowers..
Arranged her vase.. at celestial.. shores.
With a string.. of light..
Hued.. like the golden-jasmine..

Moments.. turned, at moment's banks..
The boat anchored.. at Dol****,
The earth.. smiled in her dreams.. in silence..

Bringing in a boatload.. of celebration..
Did she finally decide.. to moor..
With the full-moon.. this sleep-pirate..


****Dol / Holi - a spring festival observed in the first full moon of spring.
