Don't be cruel

(3616) Tomar ganer tale tale necechi

Danced have I to Your song's many beats. Don't You know, don't You see I have held You dear? With crimson glow, dawn's newly risen sun; From sluggish wind, the smile of blossom. By consciousness sleep is broken; In Your direction, I've remained watching. At day's end beneath the evening star, To but one thought's some ektara, The music mode removes night's dark; Through just its tune I've met defeat.   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Delusion and reality

(3615) Tumi kao na katha sunayana

Fair-eyed maiden, you say nothing; Why don't you speak? For whose sake, your tears run; Who has given misery? Night and day in whose expectation, Steadfastly, you remain vigilant... On tears float the love-spores That crave no more Whose proximity? What you hear or listen to under daylight, Dreams You weave at dark of night... Which ignis fatuus do you draw nigh; What is your austerity?   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Finally I see

(3614) Tomar e gan anadikaler

This Your song from ancient times, With the endless it unites. In tune and beat on vast blue sky, Onward it glides. No one knows when the start; Even held, it stays uncaught. Coming and going within heart, Finish in the Infinite abides. You exist in Your anthem; In the universe, sway You've wakened. You dance in whole-hearted cadence, Most Sweet Lord, with rapt mind.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

And yet I don't

(3613) Tar namer madhu mane mekhe rai

His name's sweetness, upon mind I stay coating; Upon mind I stay coating. He is my morning's sun, Hope and confidence of a night dense. Him I can forget nowhere! In dawn's light is just His smile; Inside the mind He plays on bamboo pipe. With hue of bloom getting combined– He keeps doing that only; hence my plight is risky. Like this, He goes and comes; He floats invisibly in such fashion. He rids gloom through look sidelong; I take His acquaintance, not having seen.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Because You arrived

(3612) Arup tomar ruper parashe

Formless Lord, by the touch of Your form, To a dark world light has come. By that light, sides are brightened; Earth bewitched has woken up. You've brought to earthly realm the splendor of Heaven; With a goose's[1] tune, melody You've blended. A song of the Infinite, You've sung to one who's limited; By that means, direction and prospect have run amok. What had been veiled by darkness, Neath the rays of daybreak, eyes did spread. Smiled the act of viewing, that seen, and witness; With a thrill, the visible universe, dance it does. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I become devout

(3611) Tomar katha bheve bheve, divanishi ashru jhare

About You ever thinking, Day and night exude tears. Far away You stayed, Darling, This my house, made gloomy. By the pitch-black magic of a rainy night, To get You close, the mind desires... Alas, like stamen of screwpine, Upon gloom, hope goes sailing. On the fragrance of Autumn shephalii, A raft of white cloud is floating... You came not into proximity; Vainly I dress up, flowers replete. With the tender dawn of my Springtime, By fresh green leaf, a colored sky... Searching for where You be, I run dry, Hell and heavens ever rambling. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Total submission

(3610) Ami gan geye jai

A song I go on singing. No wealth is mine, no strength of piety; And thus I pray for mercy. Throat You've given me, myself You gave ardor; You've given a life full of honeyed impulse. I proclaim capitulation by a hundred means. Just foot-dust am I, I'm Your molecule; Seated in cognition's Gokul, You play on a bamboo flute. That same sound of reed pipe, I hear at heart's core; By pull of the Infinite, boundary I defeat. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
