Bewildered but not blue

(2523)  Akash bhara ajke tara

A skyful now are the stars;
On a south wind, stream of nectar.
Mind goes sailing to someplace unknown,
Confounded by Whose ideation?

A red lotus remains staring at the heavens;
Floral pollen wafts upon a sweet scent.
Missing everything known to themselves;
They have become anxious.

Seated on my own, the stars count I;
Lost have I got, I grasp, I mind.
I'll find the path, also that I realize;
Shining unending is the North Star.
