THE LATE AUTUMN IN BENGAL

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.
