What is life in Your absence?



(2031)  Madhur madhu pranera bandhu

Honeyed sweetness, You are my darling dear;
Why are You remote, won't You speak...
Do tell me, tell me please.
On a refreshing wind, in a smiling firmament,
Oh how much I rove about, seeking!

My capability, however little it may be,
In trade, it all dances with grace and melody.
At heart of each molecule, You I'd be holding;
Yet for what reason don't You yield?

In Your absence my birth is fruitless,
Motionless, like a fish out of water.
A mountain minus its snow-bracelet,
What is this... is it not Your deceit!
