Tagore's Poem On A Stormy Night

Rabindranath Tagore wrote a Bengali poem named 'Barsho sesh' (i.e. on year ending day), in which he depicted the formation of clouds in late afternoon and then the onset of fearful storm (kal boishakhi) on the last day of Bengali Calendar Year. He picked the right words and expressions to creat a new poem depicting the dreadful storm. He wrote the poem on Bengali 30 Charitra, year 1305, i.e. in English calendar, it was 13th April, 1899 at Shantiniketan. Here is the poem in Bengali, recited by me.
