 What is this style of love that's Yours?
-Eagerly awaiting You, so many days have passed;
+Avidly awaiting Thee, so many days have passed;
 So many sleepless nights have elapsed!

 Seeps the scent of an unfamiliar flower.{{#tag:ref|This line is from a poem in Rabindranath Tagore's novel, [[:wikipedia:Shesher Kabita|Shesher Kabita]] (The Last Poem), written in 1928.

 With the rosy allure of sunset,
-In what neglect, it falls aside.
+In great neglect, it falls aside.
 All love-tinged expectation
-Gets lost in frenzied illusion.
+Succumbs to the frenzy of illusion.
-O, heartless one,
+Callous Lord, what is this maya of Yours?
-You ensnare me still
+With a strand of flowers, myself You bound.
-with magic floral bonds.
+Even wanting to forget, I cannot forget;
+In hope of Your footstep, I keep ear to the ground.
-I try to forget you,
-but i can't,
-and i am destined
-to pace lonely nights,
-to give an ear to,
-I am ever attentive
-in expectation of your gentle step.
