Amar Mallika Bone English Translations:

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 are 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
