His color abides

(1284)  Tumi esechile phaguner dine

You had come on a day in Phalgun,
Bearing color with sweetness of mind.
Never does that color get removed
On weary summer-night.

That color has remained in sky and air,
In verdant beauty on the sun's emergence.
In spring's scent, that color has remained,
Very pleasing in heart's heaven.

That color, never does it go missing
In summer wind, unkind and harsh.
That color will forever persevere
Upon eyelids like the polestar.
