My house was not in order



(1864)  Andhar tithite esechile

On a gloomy day You had appeared;
Why not in light You came?
Why visit on a night of grief?
My domicile was not arranged!

You'd said You'll come at the right time;
You'll be a guest at home of mine.
But prematurely You arrived;
The decoration got not made.

In the gold lamp was ghee and wick,
And in the censer was a resin aromatic.[1]
The alpana's rice-paste was pounded;
You allowed me not the time to paint.
