Destination: the High Mound of Kapildanga

The old pain in the skull seems to be
heading Kapildanga means 
a mound with a high plaque 
The mound surrounded by a wall is not far away!

Badu, Kalu, Falu, Yadali's parents are always there
The game is over, he said.
Assalamualaikum ahelal kubur. 
There have been many changes in these years in Kapildanga
Broken are many branches of the Blackboard tree next to it
Its leaves became yellow, 
The surrounding forest has been cleared,
The sudden oozing of the spotted Dove of salty fig bushes,
A song of amorous cuckoo ripping through the still air
The sound of the rushing water,
Gallinules's cry, lament 
The recently disappeared ‘Tub Tub’ sound of the Watercock
Gently pulls me to the past holding my hands.

Let me go then, Salam!
Crossing the bank of Saipara lake
If I Walk along the side of Namavita
Surrounded by a wall with high plaque of Kapildanga
Is not supposed to be far away.
