In absentia

(3679) Ashrusajal mor ankhipate

On my eyelids tear-drenched, You appeared this morning, hey Beloved. You had no invite nor a ride; Having visited, You go off in secret. You smile at the dawn's break of day; On painted tender leaves of speech You sail. With bloodred lips You talk, Heart-Flame; With mind You get acquainted in a moment. Rose-scented is the tint of Your splendor; Beguiles Your lightning in a golden color. Your keen intelligence is world-famous; With each pore and cavity You're inseparable.

In this very life I will find Him

(3678) Priya jadi na elo phire

If the Beloved did not come afresh, For Whose sake am I, for Whom will I stay resident? Air and sky estranged, ransacked is a planet; Amid molecule, for Whom will I quest. I'll look for Him in nebula; I'll search in moon and star. Ever seeking in heaven afar, Having caught, I will fetch. At a distance He can't dwell; My mental cavern I'll inspect. By love, Himself I'll surely get On the other shore of darkness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You can do better

(3677) Amake priya tumi bhuliya gecho

Darling, myself You've forgotten. There are many loving You still more; A petty 'I' You have sounded. My Dear, no intellect, patience, or strength have I; There is no stored-up fruit of samskara benign. Salty water from pain-wet eyes... Is that why far away You've retreated? I am Your place-of-worship's earthen lamp, In trembling breast, asway like half-blown kadam. The ruby dot upon a forehead sweat-dabbed You have forgotten; You've done well.

Hallucinogenic

(3676) Vishvabhuvane dola lagiyecho

You've set asway the universe entire; Dance You've made in body and mind. The moon, star, planet, and nebula... Everyone You've filled with life. Your fondness, ever it sparkles; Rushing out, it frolics on Earth and in Heaven. By a string of waves from the cloud's body, Sweetness You've made betide. Telling Your majesty does not succeed; Concept does not find the language of speech. On coast of wisdom's sea or at heart's core, in depths, With many a color brightly You've dyed.

Don't mind me

(3675) Tahari ashay patha ceye hay

The path is watched, alas, in hope of Him only; Day after day of mine disappears. If someone would console, please ignore this worry; For the person who gets Him, the sky's moon is He. I see my love sprawling neath the splendor of moonlight, Veiled eyes bashfully inviting nigh. Smearing just His pollen on each molecule of mind, Swoons remembrance in a constant reverie. Gracefully, the Stamen of a lotus speaks; "Who, when and where finds the flag, it is by mercy. He blends hue with His, who continues in dhyan calling; In the heart of her alone scintillates He.

Lord, my heart is full

(3674) Ami tomay bhalabasi, janai kii kare bojhai kare

Yourself I adore; How do I describe, I edify whom? Entering inside mind, You fathom My thoughts unexpressed, like the flow of Phalgu.[1] My thought does not find language; All hope is pain-struck. Desert-thirst, summer's corpse, Tears they exude. Like a river spilling o'er the shore, A ballerina dances, churning thought. Surging upwards is effusive heart, Calmly unmoved.

The crest to my trough

(3673) Saomya ramya prashanta dhiir

You are unruffled, idyllic, tranquil and steady; In a storm-tossed life, You are the southern breeze. The solemn Himalayan mountain, banner of lightning, You're the Black-Curdled Ocean, in thought very deep. On Summer's burning anguish, You are sandal paste; At monsoon's screwpine forest, the fragrant air. In Autumn's kush and kash, the sound chaste; From a white cloud o'er anxiety, the dew refreshing. On Prewinter at close of night, the misty fog; With Winter's fall of ice, the fright awesome. At Phalgun's abode, a green-leaved garland Plays a song of Your veena in the Spring.
