(amra bedhechhi kasher guchchha)
We tied together parcels of Kash, we made necklaces with the Shefali--
we brought paddy blossoms for offering..
Please arrive Autumn goddess, in clouds as if transparent chariots,
Arrive through clear blue pathways,
Arrive through cleansed green dazzling-forests-and-mountains--
Arrive with a floral crown of white lotus drenched in cool morning dew..
In the Maloti flowers on the ground
In the privacy of the woods seated near the Ganges banks
The swans look for a place to fold their wings at your feet.
Do make some musical murmur with your golden lute
through mellow sighs,
Pour smiling melodies through brief tears.
Time and again the touchstone that sparkles in your hair-do
Momentarily let that solemn melody soften the thoughts--
All thoughts, turn golden all darkness turn into light..
** Kash -- a white fluffy flower that blossoms in Autumn.
** Shefali -- a white fragrant flower that blossoms in Autumn.
** Maloti -- a white flower that blossoms in Autumn.
