-In winter, why don't the night jasmines{{#tag:ref|The [[wikipedia:Nyctanthes arbor-tristis|night-flowering jasmine]], known as ''shephali'' or ''shiuli'' in Bengali, is a shrub whose fragrant flowers open at dusk and close at dawn. The flower is the official state flower of West Bengal.|group="nb"}} bloom?
+In winter, why are [[wikipedia:Nyctanthes arbor-tristis|night jasmines]] not blooming;
-Why don't the lilies speak?
+The lilies, why do they not speak?
-No, no, no, they don't utter a word;
+No, no, no, they do not speak...
-From the cold they have recoiled.
+From the cold they did shrink.
-Those who remain abide in Your presence.
+Those who remain, of You they think;
-In earnest, they all long for You.
+In their mind, it’s You that all beseech.
+No, no, no, they do not speak...
+From the cold they did shrink.
-Today, earth's denizens feel overwhelmed.
+Today, within, the Earth makes merry;
-Shivering, have they recognized You?
+Maybe it has taken note of Thee
+No, no, no, it does not speak...
+From the cold it did shrink.
-The mental flower has bloomed with a hundred tips.
+Mind's blossom unfolds in a hundred streams;
-They remain hushed inside the mind.
+In mind alone they've lain concealed.
+No, no, no, they do not speak...
+From the cold they did shrink.
