Oh to be free

(2895)  Akash kandiya bale tarara mala

"A garland of stars," declares the weeping sky,
"For Your sake, in my breast I have kept holding.
The light You provide, You cherish everybody;
Privately, You whisper into every ear.

"In the cosmos, You are the Soul unique;
So Yourself, one and all yearn to receive.
Sorrow to forget, they would blend with Thee;
A heart swollen floats upon eye's tears.

"I have not the knowledge of measuring time;
You and I exist, ever You belong to me and I am Thine.
I don't know when it began, this desire of mine
For a lovers' tryst, free from tiredness and fatigue."
