Lotus of gold

(376)  Sonara kamal alojhalamal

A resplendent golden lotus
Has blossomed on Earth today.
Enchanting my mind, the fragrant diffusion
Sets in motion many implications.

Come, please come, please come everyone;
With the buoyant breeze goes a sweet scent.
Behold, behold, behold all of you–
The bumblebees plundered all the pollen.
A heart that is restless for Him
Heeds neither taboo nor rule.

Look, please look, please look and see—
To give love, how very steadfast is He.
In shyness, why are eyes downcast–
Lift up your heart, and seize that lily.
With just this thought, all my life's honey
Overflowed in result.
