 Eto bochor
(All these years)
Tumi kothay chile?
(Where were you?)
Tomay khujechi...
(Looked for you)
baysto shohorer
( in the busy city)
Olite Golite,
( in its nooks and corners)
Meghe vora,
(in the cloud cast)
borshar akashe,
(monsoon sky)
shiter alowan gaye,
(warped in wintry shawl)
Vorer alo chayate,
(looked for you in a shadowy morning)
Bodhdhyo ghorer
(in a closed, suffocating room)
kori kathe
( in its worn out beamed up ceiling)
alpo khola
 (through little open)
janlar opashe
(window, I looked for you 
on the other side)
Eto bochor...
(for all these years)
Tumi kothay chile....
(where were you?)
