Finally

(3556) Ei kishalaye rauna prabhate

With these fresh, green leaves on a crimson morning,
You had arrived, You'd appeared.
Giving pleasure with a mild breeze,
You had smiled, You had beamed.

On the cosmic lower lip, a heavenly smile;
Along with it had been Your magical reed pipe.
Demolishing worldliness at end of crooked, stupid vice,
You had floated on the sky of psyche.

I could not recognize Thee;
Scripture with philosophy did not speak to me.
By each stanza my mentality having pleased,
Purged You disease and deficiency.

Another time

(3555) Alakta shikha chilo citakamale

Lac-colored had been the flame in the mental lotus,
Yourself having said You will come.
On a restless wind with a placid, cordial song,
Every moment You stirred action.

On a blue lake had bloomed just my one flower;
In that shape had been infused fragrance incomparable.
It had become anxious, wholeheartedly had it craved
You to have come, raising up.

Now You've arrived at Vrndavan, and You have crazed;
By a bamboo flute's vibration, unto mind You've given sway.
The lotus-garden is aclatter all the time;
Atop stalk and root romps a golden blossom.

More than life Him I esteem

(3554) Ajana pathik aj kena dake amake

The Unknown Traveler, today why does He summon me?
He is huge, I am minute; to Him what can I yield!

Alive I've stayed, my tiny flame about to go out;
Still I've kept it alight, having taken solemn vow.
Does He not know this story?
Before me, I rate His worth only.

I am a firefly, moonlight's moon I dance surrounding;
In His profound wisdom's glow I get lost frequently.
By just His attraction am I floating,
With affection and with ecstasy.

The look of love

(3553) Tumi ele, amar maner katha shunechile

You did come;
You had heard my inner talk.
I'd believed You have ignored,
But that was just my understanding wrong.

From the lampblack of my eyes,
Tears You have washed aside.
Having wept, turned to dawn has the night;
I've considered whether deaf You did become.

Today with splendor's garland You appeared,
Amid just mind in privacy.
With my love's wreath of light-beams,
You had been concealed by cogitation.

Please don't keep afar

(3552) Varata eseche dur taraka theke

Information has arrived from a remote star;
Will You not be sating hope, won't You come
To this same mortal world with despairing heart?

At hope's southeast corner, You will kindle new light;
Anxious humanity did provide the heady might...
Only that will manifest– You'll make everything fine,
Between Supreme Being and Its thinking-analogue.

No one's sorrow will remain, You'll fill every breast;
By the Great's inspiration, constant zeal will dwell...
The eye-pupils smiling sweetly, each face resplendent,
Through exuberant lifetime's effusion.

From on high

(3551) Tumi esechile priya

You had come, Beloved,
At end of dark, new-moon night,
O'er eastern mountain^[1] pouring light,
Disrepute setting aside in a trice.

On Earth's surface none had been alive,
My tale of pain to realize.
In private You arrived
From grief and glee's lofty sky.

From world above came the light rays;
Form to bloom in many hues did they make.
And Your smile it conveyed
As mood's reply, thought-realm derived.

You have suckered me

(3550) Ceyechilum ami shudhu tomake

Only You had I yearned for,
Me You gifted many things.
With You stay I, had I thought;
You pillowed me with riches worldly.

A lotus You provided, You gave a thorn's pain burning;
Choker-like, You filled up a floral wreath.
Deference showing, You gave anxiety;
You made me forget the song everlasting.

I know just You as long road's boon companion;
In my vicinity, nowhere is there someone more.
Only to attain You, on Your path do I walk;
You are my polestar, kindly pay heed.
