भालो बाशार छाया

तारार आलोय लिखेछिलाम प्रेमेर एकटा भालो बाशा छिलो।

चोखेर निरे बुझेछिलाम, किछु टा भालो बाशा छिलो।

In the starlight, I wrote of a love that once lived.

Deep in the eyes, I sensed—there was a trace of love that once lived.

2. बृष्टीर छायाय भिजे गान, झरोझरेर आशा छिलो,

मुनेर कोने लुकिये राखा, चुपचाप भालो बाशा छिलो।

Drenched songs under rainy shadows, dreams of downpours remained,

Hidden in a corner of the soul—silently, there was love that once lived.

3. कालेर पथे हरिए गेलो, शोनाली शे उपाख्यान,

काजल रेखा थेके जे उठे, ओइ रोद्र भालो बाशा छिलो।

That golden tale got lost in time's path,

Yet from the trace of kohl, rose a sunlit love that once lived.

4. दुरेर घण्टा बाजे एकोन, फिरे आर कोउ आशे ना,

एमोन कोथाओ थाकतो की, भांगा एकटा भालो बाशा छिलो?

Now the distant bells ring, but no one returns again—

Was there really a shattered love that once lived somewhere then?

5. "अभिषेक", तुमि जे बोलेछिले — आकाशे मेघे मेला,

मोन भरे जे उड़े जेते, शे ई डाना भालो बाशा छिलो।

Abhishek, you had once said—the sky holds a fair of clouds,
