Yet another New Year, we call it 'Poila Baishakh',
Sprinkling joy, love , happiness around, loads of good luck,
The first day of Bengali calendar marked by a grandeur start,
Deluge of hope , prosperity scourging all darkness apart,
Attired in new dress, 'Punjabi ' or a red-bordered white 'Saree',
Bong community all set for the festivities , making them free,
From the trammels of daily life , ensuing a better tomorrow,
Touching elders' feet seeking their blessings to bestow ,
Upon us , their care, affection even in lip-smacking cuisine,
'Probhat Feri' taking rounds of neighborhood assertively reverberating ,
Vibrant tunes welcoming the change , positivity, happiness abound,
Essence of 'Mishti Doi' making it more fulfilling , Bong life astound !
