Did You leave, forgetting me?
So much I have called to Thee
From my psychic deeps;
Why did You not hear?
A star of the sky speaks:
"On firmament went You into hiding?"
From behind cloud's screen,
You contrived a game unique!
On a throne of light-beams,
You've gone on, so echoing.
Thunder and meteor accompanied,
You have shaken the worlds three.[1]

Just out of reach
About You I hear
From the mouth of everyone;
Never did I witness.
You are life's sound primary;
Why do You stay silent?
Your vital glow crimson,
Your immeasurable genius–
All-touching, the beauty of form–
There is no likeness.
At starting point You have dwelt;
You've gone on floating to endless.
You are in style of movement's cadence;
Why don't You let be held?

My direction
About You thinking,
The days vanish.
My Lord in elation and grief,
Please do come down, stooping
To this dusty earth,
Your constructed mortal sphere.
I'm a man of clay, Master,
Your fabricated, tinged sky lantern.
To obtain a touch of the heavenly,
I run fast, upward facing.
I don't grasp right or wrong time's difference;
Amid Your interior, I search for calmness.
At heart-core please come near;
With a light stationary.

Proof of devotion...
The one whom You hold dear,
Behind a screen why does he stay?
The praise from smiling-face,
Oh why does he keep far away?
To others You give wealth and ability;
Upon the peak of majesty You seat.
You take away the votary's everything;
Devotion gets coated with shame.
Except for You the eight occult powers,
Discrimination-vanquished they make others.
But a devotee, in psyche always
Remains easy, Yourself having gained
With fulfillment's blissful state.

Wanting You
One who is in love with Thee,
Alas, her story,
Why do You not ponder?
She offered heart's ambrosia,
Forgetting the earth;
Why don't You look at her?
In Your idle time,[1]
Whether it be day or night,
At a single niche inside the mind,
Someone summoned, why do You not observe?
Someone who unto You everything has consigned,
Who has got along thinking thoughts only Thine,
A lamp she has kindled through surmise;
Don't You keep an eye by that lantern?

The songs we sing
Seated are You within shape's throng;
Without shape, song You go on singing.
Having bathed inside the sea of form,
At soul a voice You rouse from sleep.
Amid those sensate or unconscious,
Your notes, always they ring forth.
Upon all thought and every action
Tender care You smear.
Atomic dust-motes on a stream of light,
Amid all them You play on a reed pipe.
The tone-body from ages gone by,
Time-and-season You defeat.

When I am depressed
For one and all a ray of hope are You;
You are everyone's life-lantern.
A bright light in pitch-black gloom,
You're the kadam honey-coated.
In a game of light-and-shadow,
By cosmic liila You're displayed.
Formless mid a fair of shapes,
At times frank, oft the reverse.
Yourself do I hold dear;
For You I laugh and I weep.
All of my darkness ridding,
With the mind's ambrosia please come, Master.
