I want to want Him



(3752) Bandhan jethay ceyechilum

Wherever I'd desired bondage,
Why did that tie not arrive?
By light of day, by dark of night,
Far away did it abide.

I'd wanted the binding of thought:
To transcendence, from gloom an eruption.
Betwixt mantra's hit and eyelids:
Light of cognition will it provide.

I have craved a link of love,
From molecule, a cosmic ascension.
That which makes the unattainable done:
Every entity it will deem fine.

An endless liila



(3751) Diner shese andhar ese

At end of day, darkness having come,
It went on saying, "Do not panic.
The Person Who cares for You,
I too worship Him.

"Everybody's Gamester,
He is free from sin, birthless and endless.
Mid my ebony, through only His light-beams,
He goes on calling, don't You know it?

"High above terror, consciousness He is;
Slander and praise, He does not mind a bit.
In psyche's niche, hard-to-reach and mysterious,
Having stayed hidden, inspiration He gives.

"Sleeping within is the Ultimate Being;
Remote He does not stay, disembodied.
He's in dance's cadence, with endless elation;
Only that having weighed is all the gist."

Love sublime



(3750) Jiivaner utser anvesane

In search of life's source,
I roam about, I ramble.
With just one entity; in fruit, flower, and leaf,
I behold the essence.

Anything fine that has stayed in life,
And what is ebony, whatever is vile...
In common they emanate from the one light;
Love of the only One I witness.

Exuded by the One is ample Divine Play;
In only one compilation is many a game.
From just one Soul hundreds of adages sail;
It is the nectar of just that pollen.

Due to You the universe is maintained



(3749) Prabhater alo jabe esechilo

When light-beams of morning had arrived,
With that heap You did appear.
You had come, my Darling, Your visage smiling.
In those rays had been a perpetual vigor,
An exudation with a hundredfold joy and grief.

From far to further those light-rays did proceed,
Spreading o'er the horizon with a dance beat.
They are circling firmament, wind, and Hades,
Every quarter conquering.

In Heaven and on Earth effulgent light-beams
You gave, scattering at each and every wink,
Yourself You went on staying lone and unseen;
Upon breast a garland, Visnu's wreath

Turnabout is fair play



(3748) Maramer gahane ele

At the depths of heart You arrived;
You left, having snatched my sense of I.
Fast asleep, I had been unconscious;
You took away, chance having realized.

Never did I see such a thing;
I did not imagine, even in dream.
A mind-thief, it can be even so:
This day You demonstrated in life.

Darling, retribution, even I know;
Its consideration I will give also.
At such time when carefree You'll abide,
Unto You will I decant this my mind.

Low or high



(3747) Tomar tare jiivan bhare, sedhe gechi jata gan

Because of Thee life is replete,
I have kept rehearsing whatever song,
I know not, hey Lord, if You,
Having heard, will fill my heart.

At midnight, I have practiced a melody;
I have gone on drilling at crimson morning.
I've recited with the sun at its peak;
On evening's glow key notes are lifted up.

In Your name and in Your reverie,
It's the way in which goes psyche.
And so ardent I've become, a song
To sing unto Thee.

I've practiced tune in floral company,
On moonlit night and under gentle breeze.
I have sung on new-moon nights stormy,
Everything's Your gift, I fathom.

Busy is my day



(3746) Kajer samay laca ki hay

At the time of work does dance occur?
You want to make dance amid tasks;
A bit can I get You to understand?

Morning time attaches a plethora of deeds;
Why make I dance's play, myself please tell.
Evening is a time for returning to dwelling;
Earth's surface gets enveloped in darkness.
Please explain, kindly say, oh pray tell,
Where's the time for dance in my hand?

Searching hill and open space, firewood I go to bring;
Like a termite do I walk the road afar to hew paddy.
Please explain, kindly say, oh pray tell,
Can I make You forget the dance?
