english translation

i had prepared for my offering when it was building in the mollika garden
the mist has not been completely removed, o dear,
as if stringed crimson beads on the forehead of young usha,
drops of dew have just begun sparkling in the nascent sunbeam.
songs of the woods is far from over
do you wish to move away right now?
o my twigs of disappointment,
your blossoms of tired mollika,
please utter the last words before they are shed away.

– translated by anjan ganguly

when budding began in my jasmine garden!
i planned my offerings for you, my companion.
then in web of mist.
on forehead of young dawn, o’ mate.
on every dewdrop sparkles the nascent sun.
even the songs of forest, o’ dear, is yet to ebb away.
still you wish to move away.
o’ my dreary scion!
o’ your drowsy jasmine!
dawn of death comes, your last song you now croon.
