True worth

(3672) Tomar katha bheve din cale jay

Contemplating You daytime goes away; Yourself do I love, oh I hold dear. At Your Gokul of mind, light-rays coruscate; By that light, eyes are kept smiling. Unfamiliar and unknown, You are my own nonetheless: The Master, Eternity's quintessence. Absent You I don't exist, this fact I grasp constantly; Compassion Thine is gloom's undoing. With soul You are mingling, hey the Unseen Godhead; Not having got to see, I cry... this is my foolishness. Rashly discarding knowledge for an oyster-shell silvery, Toward mirages I come racing.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Fearsome Friend

(3671) Sudur ambare meghadambaru

On far-distant firmament a damaru of clouds Sounds Your clarion,[1] and quakes all of Creation. When You dance tandava with furious ideation, All the filth and gloom, demolished it be. Through an infallible trident, Heaps of sin, root and branch, float off whence. Vice You rid, aloud You laugh; By third eye any injustice You sear. Subduing evil, You're protector of the righteous; Beauty of the universe, You're the love of everyone. Who knows whereto it departs by Your darts dreaded; From the earth all depravity retreats.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

So fine on the outside

(3670) Tomake peyechi kata tapasyay

By however much austerity, attained You have I... Inside my heart-core, You remain still more near. To contemplate it feels fine, like a sweet moonlight; Round about You dances my psychic honeybee. The Earth's quintessence, hey Beloved, Everyone's reverend couturier... By action-inclined intellect, fit to be remembered, Hey the Splendor Unseen, everybody prays always to Thee. Your chest of affection, it is endless; Granting compassion, always it goes on and often. Hey the precious Lapis Lazuli, immense mine of diamonds, In life and in death, Your sweetness reigns supreme.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

With You as my Companion

(3669) Ami caini kona kichu tomar kache

I wanted nothing in Your presence; I have simply gone on singing, I have kept singing. I made no declaration, ever having begged; In meditation I've kept seeing, song I've gone on singing. Between You and me the distance is hard to cross; Full of tunes unknown, immense had it been, without shore. Utterly full of desolation, it had been cloaked in fog; And yet I have kept pondering, a song I've gone on singing. Master, You showed unearned kindness; You remained looking toward a face despondent. I am and will continue staying for the whole of time endless; With You I have been in love, a song I've gone on singing.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Wanting is not receiving

(3668) Alo esechilo phul phutechilo

Light had arrived, flower had blossomed; Why did You not come? A cloud had told, the wind had sung: Be known He will come, that One Adored. Mind had believed no more tardiness will be; With night jasmine fragrance those same words speak. The cuckoo coos in my ears two; In them had it said, fetch from cogitation. I don't understand at all why You did not appear; After soul searching, I proceed knowing: This dark home for entrance into, I ignited no lamp, not a one.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Life is replete, because I love You

(3667) Tumi jano kina jani na

Whether You realize, I know not; Yourself love I Whether You look or don't look at me, I see Your sweet smile. If You wish to keep forgetting, go on ignoring; Otherwise, draw me near. If by fog You let be ringed, Stop not Your charming pipe. Nothing for me I desire, Not to be king, even of Kuber's empire. Having contemplated You I become satisfied With life all the time, day and night.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

On a shoreless sea You are my one and only anchor

(3666) Tomar ratul carane more

Toward Your rosy feet, myself unto, Hey Master, grant a love unlimited. I float like blade of straw on water; At lotus feet I crave refuge forever. Floating on a mundane stream I move; In the world I've no tie of roots. Hither and thither do I wander; Peace I find not, station I don't discover. Since when the start of floating; One knows not of its history. For a while You make one see the mind-jewel; For a bit You make heard hymns of fearlessness.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording
