Poila Baisakh

Baisakh has come,

Poila Baisakh,

Best wishes for the new year

Seconded by greeting cards, good dishes,

Bouquets of flowers and greetings

And festivities awaiting

A shift in time and climate

Though it is summer

Lying in wait for clouds and rains,

Fortunes to take a swing

For a new start.
