I don't find the words
In light and darkness such a divine play |

Coming and going
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.

Always with me
In just Your recollection, in just Your conception;
Days, they go away by Your grace.
Whether You love or not, close You come or not,
Ever under smiling umbra You've maintained.
Oh I've come to the world to perform Your deeds–
You've given me the means; I stand always ready.
Externally and within, at inmost part in heart,
My ego dances in Your rocking cradle.
I can't bear remaining forgetful of Thee–
Start, stay, and finish of what is traced on psyche,
With its vibration, its ankle-bell sonation,
Living's song continues, on it sails.

Gone but present nonetheless
Vraja's Gopal is leaving–
From where unto where?
To the beat of dance sky You made rumble;
Heaps of memories go on dropping.
I know my Kanu[1] goes away never;
At the depths of heart He smiles nonetheless.
Eyes not seeing, but recalling in cogitation,
Hard is understanding whether far or near.
Thought goes on merging into such great ideation;
Lack's perception gets lost in its own disposition.
I'm a boat its coast lost, shoreless do I rove,
Like a gem crafted of Gokul mentality.

I've yearned for Thee
I have wanted You in name, shape, and flavor,
In hard-to-reach thinking, in lonesome retreat...
In existential thought, in meaning form-free,
In generation-operation-destruction, in mystery.
What is this Your divine play, oh Mercy's Embodiment?
In an instant much You break, and much You make afresh
How many are the things that arrive, so many that leave,
In the dust at the outskirts of Your feet.
Unseen-Unblemished is Your name;
Obeisance to You is beyond the mind-sense-speech range.
You are source, position, and final state;
You smile on psyche's jeweled swing.
