Absolutely necessary

(3355) Kanu binu thaka nahi jay

Staying without Kanu^[1] does not succeed;
The One Who glitters within heart is He.

Day and night His reed pipe,
Every moment penetrating life,
Tells me: "Cherish do I,
And so I summon thee."

My Jamuna of existence,
By only His rumination overwhelmed,
Contending with a mist dark and dense,
In a hundred ways it races upstream.

Am I in Heaven?

(3354) Ei madhu nisha jena na phuray

So this same honeyed night may not cease,
That it might not disappear,
With argent moon at peak of moonlight,
Mind goes on surging.

Love had been replete inside the mind;
Nevertheless existence found no springtime.
Sweet night came and gained You prompt;
In mood is fondness fainting.

From Your smile a pearl did drop;
By Your flute deluged the sky got.
With rhythm and song You arrived in every life,
The earth with Heaven blending.

Just see

(3353) Alor shatadal phuteche

A luminous lotus has blossomed
In a large and deep lake ebon,
Gloomy night's restless craving's
Curtain in back of.

The hope of God for unit psyche:
He will make home in your mind only.
He will lavish His fond doting,
Per just your disposition.

Light of the endless domain,
Hold color, the lake's breast it made.
All of the blackness, it went away
In a single moment short.

A play for sympathy

(3352) Kalasayarer balukabelay

Upon the sea of time's sandy shore,
Waiting and waiting I count the minutes.
Inwardly I contemplate if on lyre is cognition;
About You there I hear a bit.

Having come from afar, it goes floating far off,
Those lute-strings excite an atom.
By that great rhythm, in the highest happiness,
A web of fancy do I knit.

How fine if once it comes and leaves,
For instant brief You stand before me.
I concede that mine are no pious austerities;
I summon a mood sympathetic.

Though His design might seem tragic

(3351) Purvakashe raun dhareche

On eastern sky color has clung,
As this time light-rays did come.
In hope of splendor creatures have been aroused;
Upon the lotus flower a smile has blossomed.

A verdant leaf by ebony concealed,
Has lifted head, illumined brightly.
A partridge, ignoring mental agony,
On bough of tree goes on giving summons.

Everybody with own expectation,
By means of salve in language of ideation,
They are looking in the sky's direction,
Half-awakened everyone,
In fresh attire by your actions,
Those that came down from days prior.

Myself why did You forsake?

(3350) Jyotsnaloke tomar hasi

Like moonbeams is Your smile,
Welkin and wind made replete.
It goes to which distant place;
Oh it goes, it goes away.
Imagined fancy of a mental cranny,
Painted in color does it let be.

With a formless magic unrestrained,
With unhindered speed's matchless shade,
The scent of a flower on sluggish air,
Wings opened it craves.

When You'd smiled initially,
You lit up a lustrous wreath...
Life's touch You had bequeathed...
With implication of mind-state
At love's Providential place.

Your loss I rue

(3349) Mara jamunay van ene dile

Brought to dried-up Jamuna, a flood You let be,
At a Gokul of my psyche.
Native and foreign distinctions ignoring,
You consoled the human beings.

In the dust has wept human mentality;
It has stayed far removed from lack of amity.
Tear-soaked is that history,
Told into every ear.

This world of form, it is for everybody;
One and all hope for the light of morning.
Your neck like a conch-shell, this dictum holy
You did profess with confidence smiling.
