After Listening to a Thumri
You are the song you sing Its very stature And the song you sing, you are Entranced, I am enraptured too By you, or is it your song? The song's within you You're its essence See the time I needed to get it A complex import of a simple vision

মূলতকৈ ইংৰাজী অনুবাদে মোক মুহিলে
Sorry, I am enraptured by the original Deka. Maybe my poverty in the language translated into.
