On this full moon night of Srabon

আজ শ্রাবণের পূর্ণিমাতে কী এনেছিস বল্‌
aaj sraboner purnimate ki enechhish bol

What have you brought today
On this full moon night of Srabon*
A chalice of laughter brimming over with tears
The ache of jasmine flowers drifts
in the deep sighs of the monsoon breeze
Even as the flowers burst into bloom
Why feign a game and let them droop
O do tell what you have brought
What is this daze I see in the moon’s gaze
Which land of dreams does she roam
My heart awaits by the road
She knows not who she seeks
She senses a faint hint
A to and fro in the restless breeze
O do tell what you have brought
