শীতের হাওয়ার লাগল নাচন
Sheeter haway laglo nachon
The winter wind has set astir
A dance in the Amlaki* bowers
The leaves with a tingle and thrill
Flutter down and fall to the beat
A fly-away frenzy springs in
And leaves her bereft at last
Her bounty of fruit remain
No longer hidden from view
For whom it is mere play
To purge and replenish
I wait for her all day
A caressing chill now and then
Passes me a summons as if
The time to relinquish my all
When will it come, in which morning
Sheeter haway laglo nachon
The winter wind has set astir
A dance in the Amlaki* bowers
The leaves with a tingle and thrill
Flutter down and fall to the beat
A fly-away frenzy springs in
And leaves her bereft at last
Her bounty of fruit remain
No longer hidden from view
For whom it is mere play
To purge and replenish
I wait for her all day
A caressing chill now and then
Passes me a summons as if
The time to relinquish my all
When will it come, in which morning
*Amlaki - Indian gooseberry
