Had He stayed longer

(2981)  Kon se ajana pathik esechilo

Which is that Unknown Pilgrim Who'd appeared;
Light He lit in a dark dwelling.
There had been no speech; a mouth with gentle grin,
The smile of lower lip, it went on lavishing.

Silently He had come from which unknown place;
Work accomplished, by what strange mode went He away.
Coming for an instant, a transitory love,
Why did it trace a line long-lasting?

At that time to know His particulars I did not wish;
Even still, acquaintance the mind does not imagine.
Simply, in thought of Him is honey-smeared intoxication;
What was given, forever it enticed me.

Opened was a chink

(2980)  Je diiper shikha jvele diyecho tumi

The lamp-flame that You've ignited
In this dark cosmos,
Under just its light they flickered,
Refulgent the atoms.

In a wink, inert sleep was broken,
Fatigue and delusion shattered in a moment.
With hues aplenty was illuminated
By a light-stream disrepute's ebon.

What I could not imagine, that alone happened;
Within the gloom arrived an optic sense.
My spark of love's cascade did ascend;
To the new-moon night, perforation.

Despite all my limitations

(2979)  Tomar patha ceye basechilum ami

Watching Your path, seated had I been;
Your story alone had I contemplated.
Gotten lost is my world's every shape;
I have gone on singing Your hymn.

My coming and going was to decrepit atmosphere;
My pondering was in the same impaired periphery.
But with that meager scope, speculation's web weaving,
I have understood You are everyone's central jewel.

Musing on You, diffused into Infinity limited becomes;
Your hymn having sung, effusive becomes bosom.
Between You and me there's no more obstruction;
At Your lotus feet have I taken shelter.

Final attainment

(2978)  Tomar saunge mor paricay, kabe pratham hayechilo

With You my acquaintance,
When first it had been,
That is not today!
The year and day I've forgotten;
But shyness and fear, they have waned.

From the fountain of which Unknown Entity,
Had I risen, floating on a thought-stream?
That Strange Being alone, it is You, Lord;
Most assuredly, I have understood the same.

Even still I'm traveling to the Mystery;
Through cadence and song You are calling.
The end of all knowledge is within Thee,
Hey, the Embodiment of Consciousness, beyond shape.

My one desire

(2977)  Tomar ei bhaver ghare ami eka

I'm alone in this Your notion's abode;
To my home, You please come.
Arriving at my dwelling, make completion;
Do appear in my thoughts.
You've gone on keeping lit the torch;
By that flame, always be brightened up.

I want nothing in Your presence;
I would give all there is, whatever.
What's kept me hemmed by spell of blind attachment,
Through that flame, it as well please exhaust.

What I say from mouth, let me perform in deed;
Having come, may I not shun ordeal.
With every action allow me to recall Thee;
Upon my mind-sky, You please forever soar.

You came into my life

(2976)  Tomay ami pelum

Yourself did I obtain
On the far shore of a dark ocean,
Like a golden streak of light.
My inertial slumber You broke
By music's sleepless fall and rise.

With much cadence You did come,
Afloat upon a stream of euphoria.
All the gloomy ignorance You got rid of
By an implication sublime.

You effused in all directions;
You infused honey in the bud.
Mind You entered with enchanting thought,
By a myrtle's beauty fine.

Your prodigal son

(2975)  Sadher malakhani enechi

A selected garland I have brought,
Because, Lord, I will make You wear it.
From the mental realm blooms have I culled;
On string of love in solitude I've threaded.

On that I've smeared the sandal of heart-core;
Lavishly I've conferred all the nectar of my bosom.
Effusive become, I've been waiting at the door
To hear a footfall every single minute.

Don't frustrate me, look with eyes of kindness;
Awaken a fresh flood-tide in a life afflicted.
From my mind obliterate what is good or wicked;
I have come away from the peerless shelter.
