THE LATE AUTUMN IN BENGAL
Md. Abdul Mannan Yaqubi
With a veil of mist comes
The late Autumn,
And she looks a shy lady
Not lissome.
She has no ecstasy
And levity,
But has high satisfaction
In bounty.
The late autumn, the queen
Is very generous,
So in Bengal she brings
Riches for us.
Fields are filled with paddy
With her advent,
Thus the peasants remain
In merriment.
Seeing the vast field with
Paddy prettier,
She becomes glad and
It makes her blubber.
To see her blubber, the sun
From the sky,
Gives light dully by day
And becomes shy.
The sun become shy
With her arrival, catkins
By shore bloom,
And the most flowers make
The morn perfume.
Ashok, Shirish, Sanpa,
Simul, Palash,
And other flowers blooms
With a nice flash.
The lotus by day seems
Greeting the sun,
Floating on water, sitting
On her throne.
Lilies greet the moon
Very warmly,
And it means the Late
Autumn's love really.
Palms, wood apples, coconuts
lemons and,
Jambo Airs are found a lot in
Bengal's land.
White clouds float to and fro
In the sky,
And mustard flowers make
The mind satisfy.
The vast sky remains calm
And quite clean,
Nowhere the scratch of
uncleanliness seen.
The wealthy Late Autumn is
God's bounty,
She's in Bengal supreme
In reality.
