Shiva returns

(3745) Badal nishiithe sei badal nishiithe ghana tamasate

On a rainy night, that same wet night, in darkness dense With hushed feet You came once more. I opened not even the door, I did not say to enter; You arrived at my home, doing what? A-pitter-patter, outdoors fell the rain; Eyes had been teary, kohl got washed away. Between the extrinsic and my ocular water, By a rainy wind, they'd become one. Eyes wiped, I see You are in residence, The outer and inner having united. I external, You internal, Instantly, broken was limit's prison. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Shiva mine

(3744) Ambara majhe dambaru baje

Amid sky a damru is resounding; Which is that Rudra, now has come? Matted locks, their knot has started opening; With tandav garb, they have adorned. Horn having sounded with its resonance severe, The Bow-Wielder dances, seized by which fancy? He proceeds with lightning-speed, On north and south poles thunderbolts to toss. Hey the fearsome Bhaerav, do get calm; Your special power, please share with all. What You want, we will give; take it, being cordial... Hey the tranquil Shiva, King of three regions,[1] Hey the Gaunga-Bearer, hey the Dance Lord. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Reverie

(3743) Ei puspita campakatale

Beneath this same blossoming champak tree, Hey the Most Beloved, You'd appeared, You had appeared. In color of teak and liking the clothing, You'd smiled through teeth pearl-dropping. That day's tale I won't be able to ignore; It does not get erased, that date's memory-song. On moonlit night, on gust of madhavii That lunar day makes ardent at split moment in a jiffy. With that date mingled are a hundred thoughts; With that date has gone on a honeyed sensation. In that date's dance and song, sweetness heaven brings, Throbbing in heart and mind upon a breeze of fancy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Lord, You are my all in all

(3742) Praner gopal priitir gulal

Gopal of heart, gulal of love, The darling of thought in a grove of psyche, Due to You, hope is replete; I am on watch with eyes teary. I don't want Your proximity just a bit; I want You close every day forever. Your smile and flute so magic Rise afloat in Vrndavan eternally. Unto my vicinity kindly come, Sweetheart; Far removed, please don't ever depart. Without You, everything is lost; Why do I even exist, who perceives? Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Forever entwined

(3741) Ami tomar tumi amar

I am Yours, and You are mine; Know this fact everyone does. With rhythm and tune at home of thought, Into each moment You are stuffed. Strong and domineering, very ancient, Hey the Supreme Being, ever novel, Yourself I crave, dyed I keep dancing; In the world You're one without a second. To Your company is anyone's alike? Never did it happen, nor since might. In thought's cradle, with a matchless game divine, Having danced, You persist in mind of all. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Despite everything

(3740) Balechilum ami bare bar

I had said repeatedly: Again I won't forget Thee. Hey the Ever-New, the Killer of Gloom, Just once, please come near. Inside the Gokul of my mind You were, By the tamal trees hidden. Underneath Cadamba, on Jamuna's waters, You left a heap of memories. In my heart again appear; In knowledge and in deed, hey the Epitome. An endless and smiling ambrosial sea, In life and in death, You're my footing. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

In Your midst

(3739) Tumi rupe bhuvan alo kara

Who lights the world with beauty, You're the One; With rhythm You fill up dance and song. Your equal does not exist, I don't find comparison; Alone, You are pair to the whole cosmos. You march forward, You look not backward; Wheels of Your chariot, You don't let pause. Those oblivious, lifting onto lap You haul; Darling, in Your attributes Earth is absorbed. You love, and You create liila With both tender and severe, mixed You are. Those having no one, You've remained for them all; Beginningless and endless are You formed.
