In this poem, the poet is ready to depart his home to return to his workplace after the vacation of Durga Puja. His 4-year-old daughter does not want him to go. The poet consoles her and explains that it is really important for him to return to his workplace. However, the child denies to understand this and keeps on saying "I won't let you go".
