No amount of love to downplay



(3782) Kena ami tomar ghare asi na

Why to your home I come not,
Unto you will I say?
No, no, I'll say not.
Why, having loved, embrace I grant it not...
That fact will I explain?
No, I will declare it not.

Love is in creeper and leaf;
In the floral pollen love is there.
With love the spores go floating;
In their company I'll tell what tale?
No, no, I will speak not.

With love the mind gets complete;
With love the heart is overflowing.
From love the three worlds[1] keel;
That love will I disdain?
No, no, I will forget not!

My Curiosity



(3781) Tomay ami ceyechi, gopane gahane

Yourself have I witnessed,
Both in secret and in depth.
Obscure Traveler, please look for just a while
In my direction, with eyes of kindness.

Except You there is naught for which I long;
I don't think of any other in meditation.
Just Your love, Your unequaled effulgence,
It brightens existence.

You've tied me with such a thread floral;
When wishing to rend, You have kept it undamaged.
There's no end to the tale of Your merit;
Thinking, I notice its lifespan is undiminished.
In just Your mission, Your honeyed essence,
On a ray of moonlight I ascend.

Whatever Your reason or purpose



(3780) Kii dos karechi balo na

Pray tell, what sin have I committed;
My home, why did You not visit?
I have loved with mind and heart;
Though known, that too, don't You know it?

Threading a garland became futile;
Utterly useless was the tune practiced.
Mem'ry is with tears and laughter;
The alpana painted, do I abolish?

I have witnessed in the shrine of mind;
By Your dye I've become bright.
In Your song and dance, become rapt have I;
Hence, staying away is not tolerated.

How can I?



(3779) Bhavi tomay bhule jabo

I think I will go, Yourself forgetting;
How do I forget, kindly answer!
You rise floating on the horizon;
If I think, won't I observe?

With sandalpaste You smile in the summer heat;
You float on screwpine pollen in the season rainy.
Mid the kush and kash You dance, autumn during;
And from white clouds You construct a rocking cradle.

At pre-winter You are in paddy's fine aroma;
At winter, in the silvery ice and frost.
In spring by the gracious beauty of color,
Implication You give through a dappled wind.

Bhaerav dwells within us



(3778) Bhaerav tumi durjoge ele

Bhaerav, You appeared at time of threat,
With a dark tilak upon forehead.
Whatever You received, You conquered and went,
Even for an instant, movement not halted.

Become nest-bereft are birds aplenty;
Animals and humans lost their lodging.
Like a flood, many tears kept on floating.
You did not eye it for a moment.

Oysters got drenched by water of own making;
To deep beneath, the pearl went on sinking.
Mentality full of love came in racing,
With relief for the oppressed in this mundane realm.

Unraveling Your mystery



(3777) Jeo na jeo na priya mor

Don't leave, don't go, my Beloved,
When You came to my dwelling.
The whole night for sake of Thee,
On gate I have placed a rice painting.

I have plucked the smiling parul;
Within wreath I've inserted bakul.
Having kept mango-blossom upon urn,
At path's edge seated had I been.

The psychic ocean through string of waves,
Having mused on You, dancing it promenades.
Mind's peacock, at the sky does it gaze;
A dark cloud in order to see.

It's all You



(3776) Priyatama amar ghare

Dearest, at my place of dwelling,
Please arrive, making light replete.
Kindly beam Your honeyed smile,
Mind-bewitching, with lips sweet.

I want not to obtain anything;
I just want to donate unto Thee...
Through Your cadence and music mode to get frenzied,
By Your presence in a hundred streams.

I have gone on coveting more than sufficient;
I have run behind phantasmic mirages.
High and low having assessed,
All my life have I done wrongly.
