On this auspicious occasion

(3498) Anander ei mahotsave

At this same joyous and grand festivity,
You please stay very near, my Darling.
I've composed a song, rehearsed its melody,
With light-ray of hope amid psyche.

There is no consideration of night or day;
All of the time You are unchanged.
With mind's bumblebee comes "deranged",
Getting seen in any deed.

Hey the festivity's Master of Holy Site,
Bowing I proclaim, beseech do I:
Kindly remain in mind with face smiling,
On a cot clothed in flowers motley.

Lord, I'm ashamed

(3497) Tomay aro kache ceye

Having wished You still more near,
On myself shame did I heap.
You had been within psyche;
Upon eyelids did I fail to see.

Oh my perpetual companion,
Coming and going and staying's collection,
I sail with no shore, having forgotten Thee,
In a self-made jeopardy.

You remove my delusion leaden;
Unto life a crimson dawn You fetch.
In Your divine play, Your dalliance,
To contend with obstacles I'm willing.

Bringer of Spring

(3496) Mor manonikuinje ajike tumi ele

Today You came into the arbor of my psyche;
You appeared.
An arid desert You made green;
You built a grove thick with trees.

Oh Abiding Friend, You are beauty's collection–
Ambrosia's ocean, full of love and affection.
With an unearned kindness and compassion cordial,
You had done that which I don't conceive.

In the three worlds^{[nb 2]} there is none equivalent;
Like unto a second God, no one else extends.
You are the abode of peace, the shelter universal;
By a love tryst of song, splendor You did bring.

You give strength

(3495) Tumi karunamay

You are full of kindness;
In gloom had I been, in light I arrived;
You made undaunted.

Passed in a dense darkness has time aplenty;
Many nights, they have disappeared in tears.
The sting of a scorpion is my slighted garland;
You laid it aside, hey the One full of sweetness.

I have thought: No more can I go on bearing
To fight both inside and out with enemies.
Morale You gave and provision for the path;
You came and became mind's embodiment.

Time to fly

(3494) Maner mayavane ke tumi ele

Oh You, Who arrived in the magic forest of my mind?
Within mind, it seems like Yourself I recognize,
Even though identity You did not provide.

Inside my woodlands had amassed a crowd of weeds;
A mountain of thorns there'd been, and no breeze.
The air was closed, desire was for matter;
Setting all of that aside, You beautified.

For a mind penned in to become a Paradise,
To construct a golden peak from something confined,
The darkness had been veiled, gloom had been coated;
Over that You did drive a chariot, glowing bright.

Ceaseless delight

(3493) Maner bhramar kothay ure cale

The mind's bumblebee, it flies off unto where?
On account of Whom, to that far mount it goes flying.

Any floral nectar only can
Give a gladness transitory.
Pulled toward forest is the psyche,
Frequently in hope of honey.
Bee tells, it wants lasting gladness;
And so unto the sky-blue it speeds.

Permanent nectar dwells just at
Environs of that Supreme Entity.
The world entire, having been a single mind,
Therefore dances, Himself encircling.
Fathoming this fact and seeking Him only,
Flies the bumblebee, spreading wings.

At long last I see the shore

(3492) Alor deshe avashese

To the land of light at last,
By Your mercy, Darling, am I moving.
With neglect, a watch^[1] has passed;
Years have gone, Him I lost from memory.

With beginningless and endless divine play
You make everybody dance to the cosmic sway.
By Your kindness, by Your grace,
The shore, finally all go and receive.

Eternally You're the One ancient,
The unseen moon, the formless gem.
In waters ebon at ocean's deep strata,
You had been hidden with a fest of beauty.

Enough of hell

(3491) Alakar alo bhuloke dhalo

Upon Earth You pour the light of heaven;
By infusing luster providential You make ascend.
Innumerable people in the whole world
You overwhelm for the sake of this kindness.

For so long has gone on the new-moon night;
Crookedly a black owl^[1] has smiled.
Yourself having come, Dear, please let light be ignited;
Move, taking me on the path of profound knowledge.

With this full moon, You're the moon singular;
Just lamplight, the rest are stars.
Twixt the moon and glowworm, exchange is nectar;
It goes on making affection swell.

Some things can't remain concealed

(3490) Acena ajana pathik

The Unfamiliar, Unknown Traveler,
Amid psyche You'd arrived.
Having loved, smiling sweetly,
You doffed mask in glamorous clothing.

To Your liila there's no equal;
You promenade, rambling over lands all.
Age after age from a place behind-the-scenes,
At heart-core plays Your pipe of reed.

Eternally, Vrndavan's bosom friend,
None is ever alone or helpless.
Along with everyone pervasively,^[1]
Your love dances in prosody.

Yourself alone I salute

(3489) Tomar bandhan priitispandan

Your loving vibration, Your binding,
It is like my song's coronation.
Name unknown, time unminding,
Is a dense and steadfast splendor.

With Your name I go forth,
Every time that I came down on the course.
With a melody unbound, rhythm-filled it was
In a fight, intense and disastrous.

Oh the Unfamiliar, Unknown Guest,
Your practice is difficult to comprehend.
Hence my submission I profess
To the One utterly beyond Cognition.

To be with Thee

(3488) Ami genthechi malatiimala

A garland of malatii have I threaded;
Arrayed is the wicker basket.^[1]
At the feast of life with hope's wine,
My burning pain I've forgotten.

Wherever I look, except for You naught is there;
Alas, in agony, I don't manage to cling.
But in my whole universe, on azure of sky,
I realize: lavished is Your fondness.

On a golden mountain peak are You, my Darling.
I am dropped down inside a cavern very deep...
Having been brightened by Your light-beams,
On account of You become restless.

Only Thee

(3487) Tomay dhare rakhite cai

Yourself would I keep on holding
In the jeweled box of psyche,
In the jeweled box of psyche...
Mine having made in my mind,
All the time, day and night.

I've no splendid education;
I'm not famous or illustrious.
There is just a song of love,
Which to You I want to sing.

Everything is at Your feet;
In my heart let stay nothing.
Your foot-dust applying,
I will make myself clean.
