Truant Monsoon

আষাঢ় কোথা হতে আজ পেলি ছাড়া
Ashadh kotha hote aj peli chhara (audio)

Truant Monsoon,
Your emancipation bewilders me.
Let me absorb your green, before you unleash.
Enamor me,
Hover over the meadows for a while.

Rain-clouds profess your triumph
As they parade from east to west
Thunder claps respond with your imminence

Palm boughs go berserk with dance,
Billowing wind tosses the enchanted Shaal* !

I catch a playful impulse
Bound across the sky to farther horizons
I sense the gripping game
Of shadows frisking in the arbors
I thrill to the maddened heart
Which churns the brimmed rivulets
With a frivolous swing!


Shaal* - a stout tree with large leaves
