Is it just perversity?

(3701) Vasante kena na ele

Why did You not come in the springtime; Came You with a summer's heat like forest fire. Pearly maintenance casting aside, With éclat of ashes and matted hair, You arrived. There had been sevantii, there had been Spanish cherry; There had been malatii, there had been madhavii There had been campak, parul, and camelii; You came with datura and margosa on all sides. There had been Chinese silk and earrings golden, Golden bracelets and armbands jeweled. There had been necklaces, bright emerald-begemmed; Then why, with rudraksa oh why see I?  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Onward, ever onward

(3700) Jiivan sarita mor bahe jay

My life-stream, it flows onward. Dancing it races, unknown what it tells; What is that heavenly realm it looks toward. Oh the Unknown Guest, lunar date You don't respect; Rather, a fast-moving love-song in throat ever, Please say, it races to which place unfamiliar? Demolished, this my river's coastlines two; Even then, it is always painted by Your hue. To be broke, my psychic mirror won't continue; Upon it Your splendid beauty sparks!  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Your name's merit

(3699) Hatashay nirashay man deke jay

In despair, despondency, mind goes on calling Unto You, oh Lord; it is non-stop. Whether You listen, to know, I cannot; Just that You are pleasant do I fathom. Every moment, trice, and microsecond, You dance, Master; Self-born and endless, unfinished are You ever. You had been, You are, and staying You'll continue; Nonetheless, I go on seeking Your habitation. Constraint of river from mountain, You heed not; Ocean or wave, You consider not. With just Your light-beams all go on dancing; Your appellation is sin's annihilation.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Only then You come nigh

(3698) Lukiye patha cala e kii liila

Wayfaring hidden, what is this liila; Into public view why don't You come? To behold You, in thought to cling, Crave they, the ones You love. This Your motion tortuous, does it benefit anybody; By a plain and straight path catches not a psyche? Unaltered age after age is that reality; Even a trace of that within You, is there none? Otherwise could this my understanding be mistaken; You are unequaled by ordinary units of measurement. When going to fathom Thee, any other notion mixing, Then embrace not granting, You laugh, staying afar. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Spring reverie

(3697) Akashe cand je hase phagun mase

On sky at this month of Phagun, the moon smiles, In this springtime wind. Buds having forgot shame, having lifted eyes, Which constant ally do they wish? They go on saying: "Kindly, do come near; Take seat alongside, lovingly. Under a vernal breeze, with feet ajingle, From Your heart agreeable don't dismiss. "How many miles remote You be, We don't want to know, as You have dwelt in psyche. Yourself we behold on looking glass of mind, With blooming consciousness like tender-grassy specter."

Myself do take

(3696) Tumi nitya ami rikta

You are for always, while I am threadbare; Making earth emanate a heavenly nectar, Bewetted You have made. There's not any grudge in my thought; Somebody incomplete merely begs completion. Pardoning a trifling one's faults and dereliction, Graciously saturate. Comparing You and me, there is little alike; I am a firefly, You are the moonlight. Scorning not my desire, Amicably consecrate. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Because You like games

(3695) Ganer e malakhani dobo tomay je

This tiny wreath of song, I will give it to Thee. Come near and nearer, please... In my tangible proximity. In a blossom You're concealed At a fragrant spot, from view screened. Behind a curtain of dappled petals' hiding, Amidst some unfamiliar Hades, Dances which Person heavenly? I know that You like divine sport, So I grant that gaily You're mysterious. That same liila's tiny portion, My celestial mine of diamonds; In rhythm and bliss it reigns supreme. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
