ধরণীর গগনের মিলনের ছন্দে
Dhoroneero gogonero milonero chhonde (audio link)
Where the sky and earth mingle
Symphony exudes, 
Cradles the monsoon breeze --
High with the aura of Maaloti.
The monsoon rejoices;
       Sraabon* knells her bass melodies,
A verdant earth quivers with life. 
Shores of riverbeds, 
              Stilled in anticipation
While waves heave with resonance.
The arbors have found heart
      In rhythms of rainy eloquence.
Deep, young thunder-claps
Ever so often, couple 
      With spurts of lightning.
*Sraabon - the second month of monsoon, and the fourth month of the Bangla calendar
