Gobindapur, Tetultalabazar, Elambazar,
Cchoto Bansdaha, Burro Bansdaha,
Mundamala, Nischindhipur, Alampur,
Khirkibazar, Mitrasenpur, Jayantipur,
Thakurbari, Ayodhya, Ganja,
Gacchshitala, Cchotosthala, Burroshthala,
Radhaballabhpur, Begunbari, Satibazar,
Gopsai, Gosaibazar, Natunhat,
Bonai, Churipukur, Surahat,
Sitanagar, Bogsharpur, Kamarganj,
Bachka, Pathardanga, Madhabpur,
You go on taking the names
One after another,
A town of villages clustered,
Aligned together,
The remnants of an old town
Of dilapidated and falling temples,
Lying neglected and ignored.

Yadupur, Lalsagar, Himsagar,
Joharapukur, Malleswarpur, Gajipur,
Cchoto Bala, Burro Bala, Pakhwabala,
Dakshinbala, Kiyagara, Dighirpar,
Khejurdanga, Ramrangi, Dhamakuda,
Garh, Nabakunjatala, Darbarishthana,
Lalbazar, Natunbazar, Chashimahal,
Nilapat, Pekala, Dalimabari,
Gobardanga,
I talk of
While making a circuit of the old town.
