Moonbeams flooding up the night

চাঁদের হাসির বাঁধ ভেঙেছে
*Chaander hashir bandh bhengechhe (audio: Dwijen Mukhopadhyay)

Moonbeams flood out the sky --
in a sea of radiance,
Dear tuberose, won't you sacrifice your fragrance?

A wild wind wanders now and then,
Listens to the cue from wonderland.
Every blossom of the wild
seems like a lost friend.

The blue night painted with warm yellow light,
a pair of swans carrying songs, wander by.

Moon, you spread on the ground
flower-dust you seem to have found.
See a bride making light
in the high heavens.
