You're the One I adore



(3708) Esecho kache besecho bhalo

You've come nigh, You have prized;
Far withdrawing, oh don't go;
No... no, no, no, no, no!
In smiling there is radiant beauty, on face there is light,
So that ties of love, tear You don't.

Many people, they relate stories manifold;
Atop diamantine heart, do they ever give sorrow?
Your sweetness, through a dream-web I compose;
Please don't let that dissolve.

At the depths of psyche floats Your darling aspect;
Filled by thought of the Great, a sway's bestowed upon breast.
To heed Eros, god of love, pain's expelled;
The stolen sensation is unbroke.

What type of person do You take?



(3707) Svapne ele alo dhele

Pouring light, You arrived in dream;
I did not realize You will be leaving.
At finish of happiness comes grief;
Even though knowing it, who ever believes!

On silent night You had appeared,
The night-jasmine dropped on tranquil street.
The golden flag on chariot of victory,
I did not know whom You will seek;
I did not think heart You will seize.

Close to me beyond concept
Had been this Your advent.
In my thoughts unexpressed
Had been such dream of happiness.
You went away, like mist unruly,
At pre-winter's stormy wind speed.
Whereto did You go and whom will You receive,
I did not perceive, in some feeling
From the liila's ideation sweet.

Tansen's complaint



(3706) Mor ghare ele he priya kena gele

Darling hey, why came You to my abode when going if,
Not a thing saying to me, You went on?
This was not a proper visit, mind-pleasing it wasn't;
Inmost secrets, told they were not.

A lute had played, the mind got thrilled;
Pleasure spilled apitter-patter upon sky, permit You did.
When saying that You love, in what way do You love,
If inside the mind it dwelt not?

Between You and me is half a thousand-mile gap;
And yet, with thought of Thee is my mind crammed.
Tunes that resound in Raags Deepak and Megh Malhar,
By that You left behind Your nuance.

Even absent



(3705) Tumi jabe esechile

When come You had,
Unconscious had I been, in slumber dense.
Beside the bed You had sat;
I did not grasp Your advent.

Your lyre-strings had vibrated repeatedly;
By octave awoke, raised had been a clanging.
Shut has the door unfastened by the nighttime breeze;
I opened not my eyes nonetheless.

Awoke, I see: Shed is Your floral string;
A fragrant medley has remained on banner of psyche.
As if having called, it tells me: "No more be like asleep;
In the east a ray of dawn do witness."

Devotion is Your gift to me



(3704) Kusumastabak mor chilo hate

A floral bouquet had been in hands mine...
With eyes bright and hopes dyed
By purple glow of an impassioned life.

In what fashion to invite, I was not knowing;
With what tune to recite, I was not grasping.
Obscure had been my right austerities;
On Your way of advent had been lids of eyes.

I know not why I'd held You dear;
Why I'd yearned for You, that too I do not see.
Hey the One Ever-Unknown, You're in tempo and in melody;
A sunray shining, with the crimson dawn You arrived.

I've been drenched



(3703) Jyotsnaloke smita pulake

With smiling delight are You in moonlit splendor;
To the realm of form You had come.
With many a flash every second,
You had lavished heaps of love.

In wanting You had been ardor;
Upon getting You, satiated the mind was.
On taking You, the stream of thought,
Dancing, it rushes on with a roar.

Having mused on You, mind's peacock gambols;
In Your realization is ideation's completion.
With the wine of sweetness on a conceited one,
You went on sustaining a golden waterfall.

Even if I wanted to



(3702) Bedaradii bandhu

Callous Lover,
You break my slumber, coming beside,
In case oh having thought on Thee,
Into sleep I glide.

There is no one else to call mine;
Own is everyone, only with You do I find.
Lord, You are heartless, as comfort I desire,
Despite the fact that Yourself love I.

You are mingled with my arm ring;
Through earrings Your radiant splendor beams.
Upon the mirror of psyche and in dream,
Waiting, You've remained all the time.
