O dearest spring! Look, fauna and flora have begun to get elegance
Every atom of earth is overwhelmed with joy
Birds are singing the songs of obeisance,
Boughs and twigs rejoice like a young boy,
The wind is kissing with sensuous odour,
The flowers have filled ecstasy all around
The sky seems heaven sans heat and roar
Nowhere, any impatience I found
Rivers are flowing in a shy stream
How fresh the mountains are, they blush and beam
The weeds look so pure as dipped in cream
Who could be happier than nightingale’s team
Grass is kissing the sun on the plains high
All enjoying by senses to beauty, do you know why?

Amazed I am at the red cotton tree
A month ago, it was naked and rough
Now it has burst with blossoms with glee
A colorful veil has covered it enough.
O dearest spring! Thou act as a conjuror
Playing between appearance and reality
Thou ascertain no one is a conqueror
Variation goes around the cycle of eternity
Look at the yellowish hues of mustard
And that sunflower which is looking upward
The wheat is ready to be harvested
Look what a joy has been manifested
O spring! You bring perfection to humans
O spring! You’re the king of all the seasons.
