(A Night Song)
As spring is in its full glory and bloom...
One more pleasant night is close to an end.

Twinkling stars in sky have lost their shine
Moonlight too has lost grace and splendour
In the distant east, the dawn is in the horizon
As mighty sun is about to rise up yet again
But with a sleepless night, anxiety and unrest
I am still longing and you have not shown yet.

With droopy leaves and sleepy flowers
Cattle in sheds and birds in their nests
After the whole night's sleep and rest
Getting now ready to bloom, feed and bait
But with night long fatigue, anxiety and unrest
I am still longing and you have not shown yet.

Countless seasons have thus come and gone
Days and years of life passed but all alone
Twilight of life is, now, fast closing in sight
With shadow of wrinkles apparent even on soul
You have not kept promise, it adds to my unrest
I too deserve some peace before the final rest.

One more pleasant night is close to an end -
I am still longing and you have not shown yet.
