Wanting more

(3343) Kata na jug pare tumi esecho

After many ages You've arrived
At the honeyed Vrindavan of psyche.
You've suffused the mental sky
With cadence and song of sentient feeling.

For You the world had yearned,
As bedrock for our concerns.
That dream having achieved,
In meditation You appeared.

At a remote peak I see Your
Rumbling, tinted love-tryst
With just its hues my colors mingling,
I float in Your company.

From thread to garland

(3342) Ganer malakhani tomari tare

The garland of songs for You only,
Strung had it been kept.
The day went, evening left; and in tears
The night was spent.

Age after age, hey my Beloved,
Love's thread had been with.
By song-blooms in Gokul of reverie,
Garland's form it did accept.

At far-remote place, wherever You dwell,
Yourself I will never forget.
With love and devotion brimming,
Yours became the mindset.

For our welfare

(3341) Tumi sabar majhe lukiye rayecho

Amid everyone You've remained concealed,
In the midst of everyone.
Everybody's well-being, for all meditation worthy;
Everything You are suffusing.

Even getting proximate, happens not catching You;
In the act of description, language is consumed.
Mind-exciting, heart-enthralling,
By divine game You have frenzied.

Getting You does not thrive by intellect;
You don't surrender to science.
Humbling all vanity,
Wholesomely, You've held dear.

This autumnal evening

(3340) E sharada sandhya nace madhuchanda

This autumn evening dances to a sweet cadence;
It is looking in but Your direction.
With fragrance of night jasmine in the white-cloud habitation,
Does anyone know what she yearns for?

Who knows when had been the first sunup;
The last sunset, none has in supposition.
You know everything, everyone You attract;
This evening, that fact it honors.

You bestow supreme devotion, that same tendency
By which strength, oh Lord, we can get totally free.
On even's crimson glow, with night-jasmine affection,
At Your feet I beg this compassion.

Don't mind me

(3339) Tumi na janiye, niirav paye

Without announcing,
On silent feet
You did appear.
For whose sake and for whose weal?
Secretly, at which place and in whose ears
Words You whispered earnestly?

Never alone are You;
You are with everyone, Prabhu.
By life's veena dignified,
Everybody You invite, strumming.

You whisper in the ear of everyone;
You fathom everybody's perturbation.
But we are deaf, restless we get,
At not hearing Thee.

A special love

(3338) Kata vitandra vibhavarii tomari tare

In eyes the rain had been,
When away You were going.
A tray filled with my flowers
Onto ground You were throwing.

Between You and me, Lord,
Never there's comparison.
You're the heavenly star,
I am but a glowworm earthly.

In whose eyes had been tears?
In the world, knows it everybody.
Although self-born and endless,
Having loved, You'd appeared.

My Desideratum

For just Your sake many a sleepless night
Mine has transpired, Lord, mine has gone by.
Nights aplenty filled with gloom
Have wrapped me in absence of light.

From tears my eyelids, they are drenched,
By a lost wayfarer's wails distressed.
Not even once again came You to my residence,
But I keep hearing You are mine.

Though came not, no harm is there if I get amid psyche;
In my world there's no one else but Thee.
Having come in reverie and smiled sweetly charming,
Please go on saying: "I am thine."

A star of the sky speaks:
"On firmament went You into hiding?"
From behind cloud's screen,

On a throne of light-beams,
You've gone on, so echoing.
Thunder and meteor accompanied,
You have shaken the worlds three.^[1]

Your immeasurable genius–

I'm a man of clay, Master,
Your fabricated, tinged sky lantern.
To obtain a touch of the heavenly,

I don't grasp right or wrong time's difference;
Amid Your interior, I search for calmness.
At heart-core please come near;
With a light stationary.

Proof of devotion...

(3333) Tumi jake bhalo baso

The one whom You hold dear,
Behind a screen why does he stay?
The praise from smiling-face,
Oh why does he keep far away?

To others You give wealth and ability;
Upon the peak of majesty You seat.
You take away the votary's everything;
Devotion gets coated with shame.

Except for You the eight occult powers,
Discrimination-vanquished they make others.
But a devotee, in psyche always
Remains easy, Yourself having gained
With fulfillment's blissful state.

Alas, her story,

In Your idle time,^[1]
Whether it be day or night,
At a single niche inside the mind,
Someone summoned, why do You not observe?

Someone who unto You everything has consigned,
Who has got along thinking thoughts only Thine,
A lamp she has kindled through surmise;
Don't You keep an eye by that lantern?

The songs we sing

Seated are You within shape's throng;
Without shape, song You go on singing.
Having bathed inside the sea of form,
At soul a voice You rouse from sleep.

Amid those sensate or unconscious,
Your notes, always they ring forth.
Upon all thought and every action
Tender care You smear.

Atomic dust-motes on a stream of light,
Amid all them You play on a reed pipe.
The tone-body from ages gone by,
Time-and-season You defeat.

By cosmic liila You're displayed.
Formless mid a fair of shapes,
At times frank, oft the reverse.

For You I laugh and I weep.

In a grove of dusk neath wind of mind,

What You'd told on having loved.

Hey my Beloved, please permit the staying with;
Unspoken is it in my disposition.
Age after age, in course of time, on other occasion,
You please remain, my flank along.

Lord, show me the path, and never may I stray from it,
From the love's bewitching exhibition.
This alone is my prayer, nothing more do I crave;
Stay with me in sorrow and jubilation.

Please don't go to someplace foreign;
Make me not ignore the weight of my past ages.
Having come near and held dear,
Let anklets upon ruddy feet resonate.

Tired am I, weary the eyes;
I don't see You, is that why?
Maybe You're seated beside me;
Just it I notice not, I am dazed.

You are present, so am I;
Yourself have I prized.
I retain, owing to Thee,
Hope honeyed, crimson-stained.

The bloom that was never blown –
As bud a-molting did it go –
Touch of Your feet having gained,
It took a look, it opened eyes.

Who's come unsmiling to a world mundane,
Not feeling in good mental state,
He, having thought of You today,
Exuded love and felt fine.

Held amid core of heart, kept have I.

In my heart had been an icy coldness;
Life-giving fire You let be fetched.
By a vital lamp with heat in winter,
I have filled memory with warm sunshine.

Still today You're not away, oh my Lord;
Even though I'm forgetful You never ignore.
The microcosmic resides amidst the Limitless;
That same 'I' is Your grace, I have realized.

After bath donning a fine cotton,
Carefully making selection,
The gold wicker-tray have I adorned
With rhythm, raag, and melody.

Through stream of love by a sweet magic,
Upon veena strings

Throbbing came in everybody's heart.
In my mind's dense-deep arbor,

Inextricably laminated.

Even ignored, forgetting You does not succeed;
Mind simply chases after Thee.
In abstract thought it craves that beyond fancy,
On this earth form-filled.

On the moonlit sky, a goose-flight aloft.
Proceed do the wheels of Your chariot
From no birth to no finish.

By Your name remain bewildered.
Flies about the mental partridge,
Toward You ever having fared.

In the endless are You manifest;
Unexpressed, its causal realm...
Kissing my cheek, that dances.
Of distress and happiness, on their far bank,
You are in a sportive mode, yes, playful;
On the mind-mirror You don't grant embrace.

With a misty mesh of crudity.
Now at blunder's finish, sighing,
I call out to You in tears.

Imposing lifeless matter upon state of mind,
A rain-soaked Game You devised.

Why this same divine play, not a thing I fathom;
Yet I forget not that nothing is free from sport.
Seeking in the liila-filled is doable endeavor;
This thought You did waken in mind.

Cosmic game exists, hence the living survive;
Amid only liila is all desire-and-find.
In a sportive universe through liila's surmise,
On liila a love-stream You made ride.

Has forgot the whole cosmic affliction.

Black color enveloping, light has got extinguished;
In the darkness good and bad have been vanquished.
But still more psychic sweetness you lavish;
Is it that you don't wish this gloom be kept afar?

Black kohl-jar on dark chignon.
Today you merely sing just His narration;
Except Him please think of nothing more.

Upon this earth the date inscribed did nobody.
Darkness having set aside, that same light,
It raced off, dancing on the thought-stream.

From stellar sky, with no end or beginning,
In all directions went a spark of lightning.
Inaction at an end through vital light-beams,
By that means vociferous became unit beings.

Since then gone away has time aplenty;
Shed have been many stars and nebulae.
Come has a plethora of cadence motley,
With new love and fondness smeared.

In floral lines, in tattler strains,

Through fog a dismal ebony.

You listen to my tale, You fathom my distress,
Unit-psyche's copious anxiousness:
A history writ in tears, kohl-drenched,
Hidden by a smiling beauty.

Where has gone excised all fear and shyness?
Coating with sweetness, You have come, shameless,
Black showers illuminating.

At mental depths, neath open tent You've smiled.

Hence they think it's same for Thee.

In thought of You alone, many nights become dawn.
Look once with eyes of kindness in my direction,
