Small cotton spheres

In warm syrup pool,

Flourish

As bright,

As white silk cocoons.

Appealing,

Feather-light, delicious-

Nolen gur, mango,

Mint, chocolate,

Pan, fuchka flavors

With-

Varied complexion

Taste and fragrance.

In Bangali’s celebrations-

In Durga Puja, Jamai Shashthi…

Rosogolla is ever-present.
