What a tremendous wave

বিপুল তরঙ্গ রে
Bipulo torongo re (audio) 

What a tremendous wave
what a tremendous wave!

Turning the sky, tossing old and new
bright with sunshine, thrilled with life
what a joyous wave.

So the sun, moon and stars spin.
Wakefulness flows and swings.
The world dances with feeling.
My heart sings like a bird.

I awake to a sudden, sweet entrapment

নয়ন মেলে দেখি আমায় বাঁধন বেঁধেছে
Noyon mele dekhi amay bandhon bendhechhe (audio)

I awake to a sudden, sweet entrapment
An enigmatic snare of love

It was in the wake of spring
When I wished my friend
A nonchalant goodbye

But she cracked wide open
With tears, unawares,
And so it happens, did I

We tumbled out at dawn

আজ প্রথম ফুলের পাব প্রসাদখানি

Aj prothom phuler pabo proshadkhani (audio: Debabrata Biswas)

We tumbled out at dawn

To watch raw buds 

Crack open to the sun,

To catch up with the voice of light.

Now that radiance 

Performed it's miracle,

We sing and daub ourselves

In savory sunshine

Nature invites us

Under thickets of Parul,

Shady branches of Magnolia. 

The deepest blue sky 

Expands in us,
Echos music within,

Releasing all our fetters

Radiance sings to my heart

আলো যে আজ গান করে মোর প্রাণে
Alo je aj gaan kore mor praane go (audio)

Radiance sings to my heart.
Who is it visiting my courtyard?

The sky makes my heart unclench,
the wind wins me over with joy.

The horizon casts a blue eye.
Flowers unfold in my limbs.

My fragrant soul wanders away.
Who does she  seek forever?

I planted illusive dreams

আমি  কেবলই স্বপন করেছি বপন বাতাসে
Ami keboli shwopono korechi bopono (audio: Kanika Bandyopadhyay)

I planted illusive dreams
Wielding castles in the air,
Harvesting dashed hopes

My world, a relic,
My hopes, unnavigated,
The deity of my dreams
A fantastic, float-some image

Nothing actualized
From my deluge of desire,
Couldn't cast a soul
With my far aspirations.

In my solitude
I have been playing with flames,
Left with cinders, in the end

I lose sight of my deepest intention

তোমার দ্বারে কেন আসি ভুলেই যে যাই
Tomar dwaare keno ashi (audio: Debabrata Biswas)

I lose sight of my deepest intention

Of coming to you

I beg, beseech for trifles

Shrinking in shame
When it ends

Yet all I voice

Are my passing vibes

None of the cravings

Buried within

Meaningless wants

Fetter my raw bud, my dream,

Needs that will crumble one day,

Wither, give way,
As spring brushes in

One day,
A lone desire will emerge

A desire, streaming through life
To meet it's culmination,

Cracking open to the sun

Like a radiant bloom
