Not just a companion



(3573) Tumi amake bhule gecho

You have forgotten me.
Amid the many, with the work of many people,
You're immersed perpetually.

I perform Your meditation and devotions;
Always I beseech only Your compassion.
In tears I say: Please don't remain afar;
Why have You retained me unaccompanied?

Absent You I have no one else;
I make known what is heart's uneasiness.
It's only I'm directionless, in a misty prison cell,
While in shadow You have gone on dancing.

Identity



(3572) Maneri raja mor mane lukaye acho

King of my mind, in my mind You are concealed;
In the mind Yourself I'll view.
You had been in ancient days, You've stayed endlessly;
Nonetheless, unto love the world moves.

You are in my eyes, within my pupil's blackness;
Clothed You have remained in a motley dress.
Constantly flash those hues.

Oh please come closer yet,
In the midst of my I-ness;
Let ego be lost in You.

Oh what bliss!



(3571) Aloker ei jharnadharay, tumi ele priya mor prane

With this same cascade of light,
In my life, Dear, You appeared...
With cadence aplenty, with a bliss fascinating,
With tune-mode and music, with keynotes and melody.

In my mind there is no scarcity;
It's made overflowing by only Your charity.
Getting lost, my new-moon night;
Who knows whereto it went hiding!

To look toward the past I don't crave
By Your inspiration, forward I gaze.
At mind's grove a peacock-cry, getting Your sight,
Was brimming with emotion, accordingly.

What I need



(3570) Jiivane marane tomakei ami jani

In life and in death, it's You alone I perceive;
In light and in darkness, I just know You only.

Beyond form, Darling, to form's ocean You have come;
Beyond thought, Soulful One, myself You have loved.
I'm a bubble, You're the sea, Yourself do I revere.

I've arrived at Your wish, I've floated on that wave-garland;
By Your dispatch I've laughed, in Your moonlight I've danced.
My coming, going, staying, by Your dream are overwhelmed;
Circling that dream, my every crimson net I weave.

I don't find the words



(3569) Aloke andhare eki liila, raciya calecho ogo karunamay

In light and darkness such a divine play
You've gone on composing, oh Mercy's Embodiment.
With honeybee of the mind, an amazing game,
Unknowingly, You've kept making, hey Master of Knowledge.

A gilded river races in the sea's direction;
Its lodestone dances like a weapon.
At root of unit kush-kash flaps a fire very deep ;
A swaying magnolia blooms, lit dust-mote is full of sweetness.

Contemplation goes missing in but thought's stream;
Garrulity becomes mute due to Your velocity.
By sapphire and blue sky told is a story:
In delight, rhythm-filled, nebula's granule capers.

Bodiless



(3568) Kuyashar kalo sariye alo jhariye

Misty black having dispelled, dripping light,
Yes, You have come.
Inside thinking hard to reach, on the sly,
You have laughed a-soft.

Blossoms, they pine for Thee;
In petals, oh my, love is filling.
With bath's sweetness of surmise,
Ambrosia exuding,
Do come, come alongside, blend with heart;
Why are You afar?

Smiling on mind-sky, morn's setting full moon[1] tells:
Beyond ebony, You are filled with sweetness.
All of the honey, my Dearest Beloved,
Why You've kept form-stored?

Coming and going



(3567) Aloy ele chayay gele

In light You arrived, in shade You went away;
With light-and-shade is Your amazing game, Master.
A parched heart, green You made;
You go on playing a unique sport unprecedented.

Unknown Traveler, it's history You tell;
Exceeding speech, You're in thought and experience.
Existence and beyond presence, death and time-transcendent,
By a speck of contact, what sweetness ever-novel.

You are the closest but ever mysterious;
Oozing ambrosia, You don't heed any prohibition.
Come near or go far, from a site unseen You keep seeing;
You are life's love-wine, the One ever ancient.
