Am I in Heaven?

(3354) Ei madhu nisha jena na phuray

So this same honeyed night may not cease,
That it might not disappear,
With argent moon at peak of moonlight,
Mind goes on surging.

Love had been replete inside the mind;
Nevertheless existence found no springtime.
Sweet night came and gained You prompt;
In mood is fondness fainting.

From Your smile a pearl did drop;
By Your flute deluged the sky got.
With rhythm and song You arrived in every life,
The earth with Heaven blending.

Just see

(3353) Alor shatadal phuteche

A luminous lotus has blossomed
In a large and deep lake ebon,
Gloomy night's restless craving's
Curtain in back of.

The hope of God for unit psyche:
He will make home in your mind only.
He will lavish His fond doting,
Per just your disposition.

Light of the endless domain,
Hold color, the lake's breast it made.
All of the blackness, it went away
In a single moment short.

A play for sympathy

(3352) Kalasayarer balukabelay

Upon the sea of time's sandy shore,
Waiting and waiting I count the minutes.
Inwardly I contemplate if on lyre is cognition;
About You there I hear a bit.

Having come from afar, it goes floating far off,
Those lute-strings excite an atom.
By that great rhythm, in the highest happiness,
A web of fancy do I knit.

How fine if once it comes and leaves,
For instant brief You stand before me.
I concede that mine are no pious austerities;
I summon a mood sympathetic.

Though His design might seem tragic

(3351) Purvakashe raun dhareche

On eastern sky color has clung,
As this time light-rays did come.
In hope of splendor creatures have been aroused;
Upon the lotus flower a smile has blossomed.

A verdant leaf by ebony concealed,
Has lifted head, illumined brightly.
A partridge, ignoring mental agony,
On bough of tree goes on giving summons.

Everybody with own expectation,
By means of salve in language of ideation,
They are looking in the sky's direction,
Half-awakened everyone,
In fresh attire by your actions,
Those that came down from days prior.

Myself why did You forsake?

(3350) Jyotsnaloke tomar hasi

Like moonbeams is Your smile,
Welkin and wind made replete.
It goes to which distant place;
Oh it goes, it goes away.
Imagined fancy of a mental cranny,
Painted in color does it let be.

With a formless magic unrestrained,
With unhindered speed's matchless shade,
The scent of a flower on sluggish air,
Wings opened it craves.

When You'd smiled initially,
You lit up a lustrous wreath...
Life's touch You had bequeathed...
With implication of mind-state
At love's Providential place.

Your loss I rue

(3349) Mara jamunay van ene dile

Brought to dried-up Jamuna, a flood You let be,
At a Gokul of my psyche.
Native and foreign distinctions ignoring,
You consoled the human beings.

In the dust has wept human mentality;
It has stayed far removed from lack of amity.
Tear-soaked is that history,
Told into every ear.

This world of form, it is for everybody;
One and all hope for the light of morning.
Your neck like a conch-shell, this dictum holy
You did profess with confidence smiling.

Once, You had given that

Onto this dark earth with rhythm and song,
Thrilling greatly, You had come.
What hadn't been, what thoughts were not occurring,
Also that, along You brought.

You had brought the first light's lantern,
A blazing cadamba of warm consciousness.
With floral smile, with a flute winsome,
You had floated in with existential love.

In Your presence, I request nothing, Lord;
What else is there, do tell, for taking more?
You have dwelt in molecule and in every pore;
Hey Deity, You had given what all!

Amid thorns seated lackadaisically?
Though having wanted, unseeing, you came not nigh;
Not one word spoke you with Me."

Oh Unkind One, such a game is Yours;
You keep making sport ever new and newer.
With love and affection always novel,
Please arrive inside heart with face smiling.

In convo with fantail on peacock of psyche,
Incessantly You make dance to rhythm and melody,
Sometimes from proximate but often very distantly;
For what reason do You float away, laughing?

To blossom with thorns the rose You made.
In winter through fire comfort You gave;
In summer You applied the sandal paste.

You go on doing work as You like;
Sometimes You make cry, elsewise You make smile.
Sometimes with affection You drag nigh;
Sometimes though craved, You did not gaze.

Like heat of the fire You've remained in hiding;
Upon sky You have soared like the water's steam.
You have gone on dancing with the peacock of psyche,
A game of light-and-shade having played.

Everything made, sustained, and erased– the entirety,
The great ocean shoreless and immeasurably deep,
That same You came close, my adjacent.

I have obtained You in my thinking;
Thought I've filled with You, a hundred streams.
I have understood, hey Lord, I belong to Thee;

Forthwith, amid psyche I have viewed:
Unrivaled, You are shining brightly

I have seen You in the morning flowers,
In the arteries and veins on my mental earth...
With a gentle breeze, in chirping of the birds,
My music in the sound of a flight of geese.

To my intellect You don't grant embrace;
My intellect You take away.
My pride, a worldly vanity,
Like dust mixed with dust let it be.
Myself blanketing, the night acute;
Most remote I've made Thee.

In meditation You appeared.

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.

Even getting proximate, happens not catching You;
In the act of description, language is consumed.

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.

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.

Words You whispered earnestly?

Never alone are You;
You are with everyone, Prabhu.

Everybody You invite, strumming.

But we are deaf, restless we get,

Onto ground You were throwing.

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."

Amid Your interior, I search for calmness.
At heart-core please come near;
With a light stationary.

Behind a screen why does he stay?
The praise from smiling-face,

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.

In Your idle time,^[1]
Whether it be day or night,
At a single niche inside the mind,

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?

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.

Unspoken is it in my disposition.
Age after age, in course of time, on other occasion,

From the love's bewitching exhibition.
This alone is my prayer, nothing more do I crave;

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.

Hope honeyed, crimson-stained.

Life-giving fire You let be fetched.
