If  I, if I,  never know him….would he, would he beacon me…today , when love is in the air, …whisper sweet strains to my blooming buds…would he tint the flowers with his own hue, and reign over their hearts and sway  the green leaves…wake me up by knocking at my heart’s door…would not he…? I’ld never know, never…would he come across me? 

Raatri jabey hobey andhokar
Baatayoney bosiyo tomaar.
Sob chherey jaabo, priye, samookher path diye-
Feeray dekha hobey naa toh aar.
Feley diyo bhorey gaantha  mlaan mallikar malakhani –
Sei hobey sparsho, sei tobo bidayer baani.- Sesh Basanto

In the eventide
Sit beside the casement.
I would leave all, my dearest, before thee …
Before our much trodden path
We would never meet, never, ever again…
Leave the wreath of desiccated flowers-
That would be the last touch of you
Our parting message that would be –The Last Spring
