LIKE MY heart's pain that has long missed its meaning,
the sun's rays robed in dark
hide themselves under the ground.
Like my heart's pain at love's sudden touch,
they change their veil at the spring's call
and come out in the carnival of colours,
in flowers and leaves.

তৃষিত গর্দভ গেল সরোবরতীরে,
"ছিছি কালো জল!' বলি চলি এল ফিরে।
কহে জল, জল কালো জানে সব গাধা,
যে জন অধিক জানে বলে জল সাদা।

THE BIRD thinks it is an act of kindness to give the fish a lift in the air.
