Abanee Are You Home

Dedicated to Nuhash Humayun

Abanee, are you home? 
Closing the door, the neighborhood is sleeping 
Only heard a knock as the night creeps in 
Abanee, are you home? 
 
It rains here all-year-round 
Wanderer clouds get lost like herd 
Green Clover still blossom toward you 
The door get stuck, midway 
Abanee, are you home? 

Half-hearted truth, traveling far 
heartache in dreamland, keeps me frozen 
Suddenly, hear that knock, once more 
Abanee, are you home?
