I don't need a guarantee



(3202)  Ghora timiraghana nivira nishiithe

Late at night, thick with frightful darkness dense,
You had arrived, Darling, my door opening.
In a closed room I had been, with the window bolted;
So the sound of Your feet I did not hear.

In the sky a host of clouds, within heart a lustrous beauty;
Outside Bhaerav's dancing, locks strewn disorderly.
In this same atmosphere, close to me You came down;
In a trice, You removed the load of all misery.

On my mental sky, any black clouds that had gathered,
Under moonlight's rays, whereto did they vanish?
To a great distance went derision and all sighing;
An atom obtained promise of Your mercy.

His open heart



(3201)  Tomare ceyechi ami ekante vijane

Alone and in private, Yourself have I wanted,
With cooing of a peacock's call and only sweet floral scent.

I've wanted You both day and night, I had craved at twilight,
With heart full of pain or with an emerald's luster bright.
I wanted not to increase sorrow, I have wished to give joy,
Inside of my mind, in the hidden casket.

You are all my happiness, only You are bliss,
Amid the bud of psyche, essence of ambrosia.
For all those wayward dwells Yourself, a heart satisfied
By a trade of everything in soul, thought or felt.

With You in mind



(3200)  Manera gabhire cupisare

Into the depths of mind stealthily,
Who are You that entered...
Myself let be told, please tell me.
With smiling face in psychic deeps,
Kissing the lokas seven.
Some tune did You go on singing,
In what melody?

Down to earth came a luster heavenly;
Minds You filled with moonlight sweet.
Atoms and molecules You made dance for everybody,
Preferential treatment rejecting.

You exist and so the world has persevered;
You've infused the universe with a sweet humming.
From floral laughter sweetness has seeped;
Severed has been time's prospect gloomy.

Dare I aspire



(3199)  Jharer rate andharete

On a stormy night, in the absence of light,
Amid the bower I had cried.
To speak about and understand the pain,
No one had been to me nigh.

Many boughs, broken, have declined;
Dropped down have the young buds slight.
Fruits and blooms have fallen aside,
On tree after tree with mournful sigh.

In my pleasure-garden of mind,
At storm's end with a wind that's mild,
On conclusion of the dark and destructive night,
Will You arrive in charming attire?

Can nothing be easy?



(3198)  Madhur tomar parasha lagi

For the sake of Your sweet touch,
I am looking toward the path of advent.
Drowsiness renounced, I'm forlorn;
The time I spend counting moments.

The garland, when it was placed upon neck,
Its flowers onto dust You let be shed.
The mind You filled with fondness,
That too, is it dragged down afresh?

Hard it is to comprehend Your methodology–
One minute, a load of grief; the next, a gemmed wreath.
Endless and immense is every little thing;
When and what You will do, does anybody guess?

In summation



(3197)  Citanandan manorainjan

Psyche's Delight, the Mind-Pleaser,
I have wished You near,
In my heart's inner sphere,
Amid each and every agony.

At daybreak with the blossoms of morning,
With smiling petals' manifestation emerging,
Laughter and love, desire and driving ambition,
They are in all my deeds.

Mine I did not want to make Thee;
Rather, I have wanted to give You my everything.
I have gone on saying: Please come, my Moon,
In ever-novel clothing.

Even on my deathbed



(3196)  Vrajer gopal hariye geche

Gopal of Vraj, missing has He gone.
In mental Vraj Him I seek,
But spent has been illumination;
Ideation's lamp, just that is the savings.

Days come and go, but me He does not behold;
He notes everything, but nothing He makes known.
The date is sealed, my Welcome Guest is free;
From Him liberation I entreat.

Only unfamiliar stays the Traveler Mysterious;
Even when coming close, knowing Him is tough.
And yet amid existence, through the gaps of thought,
This too might it be: a sneak peek He goes on giving?
