You cannot forget me

(3711) Canpar kali bale vasanta ele

Magnolia's bud says, "Spring, You came" Hymns You compose through blooms aplenty. I feel love, only a joyous laughter; On canvas of memory You paint a swing of splendid beauty. Life You infuse with heaven's wine; Like a bumblebee humming You haul us nigh. You withdraw winter's inertia, hard to realize; There is not Your liila's peer. Within an atom, Yourself I've obtained; The glamor of Your shape, in nebula it reigns. Your love-song, on lyre-strings it plays; The universe is implication of just Your being. Hey the Unseen Splendor, hey the Supreme Shelter, The sweet emotion past the range of speech's travel. Getting or not getting's ultimate consequence: It's so that You may not ever forget me.

Always a mystery

(3710) Khunje gechi tomay

I have gone searching for You At home and also outside; You came not into fold. To known and unknown places have I gone; I've gone to pilgrim-sites untold. Sought have I on ocean coastlines; I have searched waters of pilgrim sites. I've looked into many shrines; Formless Lord, You'd not been in any mode. In mountain caves I did not find; Nor found I at House of God mine; Lastly, I see inside: You laugh, ever unknown. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Hence we realize

(3709) Juthika viithika periye

A lane of jui jasmine having crossed, That same morning You had come... On restless winds, a course melodious, Eyelids painted with collyrium. All had been deep asleep, abstract the whole creation; From gloomy darkness countless were disgorged. Life had been motionless, velocity blockaded; Nary a sound on the sides four. As if there'd not been cognizance in the shoots speechless, On veena strings no message had been jangled. You arrived, and language came; sensation was vibrated Upon the face of those first living ones. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You're the One I adore

(3708) Esecho kache besecho bhalo

You've come nigh, You have prized; Far withdrawing, oh don't go; No... no, no, no, no, no! In smiling there is radiant beauty, on face there is light, So that ties of love, tear You don't. Many people, they relate stories manifold; Atop diamantine heart, do they ever give sorrow? Your sweetness, through a dream-web I compose; Please don't let that dissolve. At the depths of psyche floats Your darling aspect; Filled by thought of the Great, a sway's bestowed upon breast. To heed Eros, god of love, pain's expelled; The stolen sensation is unbroke. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

What type of person do You take?

(3707) Svapne ele alo dhele

Pouring light, You arrived in dream; I did not realize You will be leaving. At finish of happiness comes grief; Even though knowing it, who ever believes! On silent night You had appeared, The night-jasmine dropped on tranquil street. The golden flag on chariot of victory, I did not know whom You will seek; I did not think heart You will seize. Close to me beyond concept Had been this Your advent. In my thoughts unexpressed Had been such dream of happiness. You went away, like mist unruly, At pre-winter's stormy wind speed. Whereto did You go and whom will You receive, I did not perceive, in some feeling From the liila's ideation sweet. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Tansen's complaint

(3706) Mor ghare ele he priya kena gele

Darling hey, why came You to my abode when going if, Not a thing saying to me, You went on? This was not a proper visit, mind-pleasing it wasn't; Inmost secrets, told they were not. A lute had played, the mind got thrilled; Pleasure spilled apitter-patter upon sky, permit You did. When saying that You love, in what way do You love, If inside the mind it dwelt not? Between You and me is half a thousand-mile gap; And yet, with thought of Thee is my mind crammed. Tunes that resound in Raags Deepak and Megh Malhar, By that You left behind Your nuance. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Even absent

(3705) Tumi jabe esechile

When come You had, Unconscious had I been, in slumber dense. Beside the bed You had sat; I did not grasp Your advent. Your lyre-strings had vibrated repeatedly; By octave awoke, raised had been a clanging. Shut has the door unfastened by the nighttime breeze; I opened not my eyes nonetheless. Awoke, I see: Shed is Your floral string; A fragrant medley has remained on banner of psyche. As if having called, it tells me: "No more be like asleep; In the east a ray of dawn do witness." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Devotion is Your gift to me

(3704) Kusumastabak mor chilo hate

A floral bouquet had been in hands mine... With eyes bright and hopes dyed By purple glow of an impassioned life. In what fashion to invite, I was not knowing; With what tune to recite, I was not grasping. Obscure had been my right austerities; On Your way of advent had been lids of eyes. I know not why I'd held You dear; Why I'd yearned for You, that too I do not see. Hey the One Ever-Unknown, You're in tempo and in melody; A sunray shining, with the crimson dawn You arrived. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I've been drenched

(3703) Jyotsnaloke smita pulake

With smiling delight are You in moonlit splendor; To the realm of form You had come. With many a flash every second, You had lavished heaps of love. In wanting You had been ardor; Upon getting You, satiated the mind was. On taking You, the stream of thought, Dancing, it rushes on with a roar. Having mused on You, mind's peacock gambols; In Your realization is ideation's completion. With the wine of sweetness on a conceited one, You went on sustaining a golden waterfall. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Even if I wanted to

(3702) Bedaradii bandhu

Callous Lover, You break my slumber, coming beside, In case oh having thought on Thee, Into sleep I glide. There is no one else to call mine; Own is everyone, only with You do I find. Lord, You are heartless, as comfort I desire, Despite the fact that Yourself love I. You are mingled with my arm ring; Through earrings Your radiant splendor beams. Upon the mirror of psyche and in dream, Waiting, You've remained all the time.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Is it just perversity?

(3701) Vasante kena na ele

Why did You not come in the springtime; Came You with a summer's heat like forest fire. Pearly maintenance casting aside, With éclat of ashes and matted hair, You arrived. There had been sevantii, there had been Spanish cherry; There had been malatii, there had been madhavii There had been campak, parul, and camelii; You came with datura and margosa on all sides. There had been Chinese silk and earrings golden, Golden bracelets and armbands jeweled. There had been necklaces, bright emerald-begemmed; Then why, with rudraksa oh why see I?  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Onward, ever onward

(3700) Jiivan sarita mor bahe jay

My life-stream, it flows onward. Dancing it races, unknown what it tells; What is that heavenly realm it looks toward. Oh the Unknown Guest, lunar date You don't respect; Rather, a fast-moving love-song in throat ever, Please say, it races to which place unfamiliar? Demolished, this my river's coastlines two; Even then, it is always painted by Your hue. To be broke, my psychic mirror won't continue; Upon it Your splendid beauty sparks!  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Your name's merit

(3699) Hatashay nirashay man deke jay

In despair, despondency, mind goes on calling Unto You, oh Lord; it is non-stop. Whether You listen, to know, I cannot; Just that You are pleasant do I fathom. Every moment, trice, and microsecond, You dance, Master; Self-born and endless, unfinished are You ever. You had been, You are, and staying You'll continue; Nonetheless, I go on seeking Your habitation. Constraint of river from mountain, You heed not; Ocean or wave, You consider not. With just Your light-beams all go on dancing; Your appellation is sin's annihilation.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Only then You come nigh

(3698) Lukiye patha cala e kii liila

Wayfaring hidden, what is this liila; Into public view why don't You come? To behold You, in thought to cling, Crave they, the ones You love. This Your motion tortuous, does it benefit anybody; By a plain and straight path catches not a psyche? Unaltered age after age is that reality; Even a trace of that within You, is there none? Otherwise could this my understanding be mistaken; You are unequaled by ordinary units of measurement. When going to fathom Thee, any other notion mixing, Then embrace not granting, You laugh, staying afar. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Spring reverie

(3697) Akashe cand je hase phagun mase

On sky at this month of Phagun, the moon smiles, In this springtime wind. Buds having forgot shame, having lifted eyes, Which constant ally do they wish? They go on saying: "Kindly, do come near; Take seat alongside, lovingly. Under a vernal breeze, with feet ajingle, From Your heart agreeable don't dismiss. "How many miles remote You be, We don't want to know, as You have dwelt in psyche. Yourself we behold on looking glass of mind, With blooming consciousness like tender-grassy specter." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Myself do take

(3696) Tumi nitya ami rikta

You are for always, while I am threadbare; Making earth emanate a heavenly nectar, Bewetted You have made. There's not any grudge in my thought; Somebody incomplete merely begs completion. Pardoning a trifling one's faults and dereliction, Graciously saturate. Comparing You and me, there is little alike; I am a firefly, You are the moonlight. Scorning not my desire, Amicably consecrate. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Because You like games

(3695) Ganer e malakhani dobo tomay je

This tiny wreath of song, I will give it to Thee. Come near and nearer, please... In my tangible proximity. In a blossom You're concealed At a fragrant spot, from view screened. Behind a curtain of dappled petals' hiding, Amidst some unfamiliar Hades, Dances which Person heavenly? I know that You like divine sport, So I grant that gaily You're mysterious. That same liila's tiny portion, My celestial mine of diamonds; In rhythm and bliss it reigns supreme. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Much more than what He seemed

(3694) Cander deshe hathat ese

From Moonland, having come of a sudden, Which sprite went on singing songs? He thrilled with melody, set adrift on ideation; Mind He did abduct, unmentioned. Of thought's house there is no periphery; There's no bar on coming and going. Nothing is the like of its prosperity; It allowed keeping both sides of sport. In a feigned garb He had come; He went, leaving the pollen of love. At azure firmament with hint of Unlimited, He kept sailing on a stream of song. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

With moonbeams on sea and land

(3693) Alo esechilo cand hesechilo

Light had come, the moon had smiled. Alongside dark clouds with lively passion, A peacock had danced; buoyant had been the mind. Gloom's end had been, Darling, I have realized; Despair having rid, hope You give in full supply. My bewitched prostration You acquire; You played on psyche's lyre. My dormant heart, awakened it did rise; Awareness defunct, sense returning, it arrived. With drunken zest, frantic became life; Into one the many, they did unite. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

A mystery

(3692) Vedii sajate diip jvalate

Altar to adorn, a torch to ignite, I have gone on searching for a matchstick all my life. For just Your sake, upon eyes, I've traced collyrium time after time. That matchstick's in just Your hand, I have realized; The wreath I keep seeking, is in company Thine. Match is got with garland, You were kind; The wings of mind's goose,[1] at own nest they alight. How many ages I have sought, that too I know not; In how many forms I am seeing, that too I grasp not. I understand just this much: In life Yourself I seek; Hey the boundless Infinite, unto me awakening You provide. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

May we unite

(3691) Vishva jethay liin haye jay

Wherever the universe gets dissolved, Oh Cosmic Sustainer, it is under Your protection... Hearing of, thinking of, and meditating on the Lord In unison totally harmonious. Amid the many has remained the One; Dances the throng in a single, playful love... At an arbor of the One, in many a collection, Circling lotus feet, bumblebees hum. Having come from the One, into One they get absorbed; Finally becoming one are numerous ruminations... In the many's decoration He reigns with single thought; To that Cowherd King everybody pays attention. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

She gets assisted flight

(3690) Ganer e mala genthechi

This wreath of songs I've threaded, As I'll make You wear it, Dear. I wet it with ambrosial essence, Evening colors, watered by tears. It moves swaying to and fro, like an earring At base of stamen on lotus of psyche. Forgotten is distinction of friend and enemy, Eyes having raised up unblinking. Eyes have opened, having broken sleep; At shrine of mind, light has appeared. A deep-blue sky has spread wing, Feathers of a remote goose beneath. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Honeysuckle wisdom

(3689) Madhumalatiir mane kii maya chilo

What had been the magic in a Rangoon-creeper mind? Knows that not a person. What tale did she tell regarding rays of moonlight? Lunar digits she had fathomed. She had told: "Everybody moves in this Creation; All come and go off, none impedes anyone. Upon everybody emanates Providential love, Like a crimson light lustrous." Yet more she'd told: "There is only one Who is Dearest of all, The smiling, pure, well-intending, Cosmic Source. He is the ever-unseen splendor, His alone the Love Supreme; He is dazzling every second." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Only so much one can do

(3688) Tumi eso amar ghare priya

Beloved, do come to my residence; Having opened door, I sit waiting. I have lit a torch, I've strung a wreath; An altar, I have kept it neat. I've no one to call my own; Private thoughts, which do I make known? So in plenty and in need, I want You alone; A load of love, poured I've let be. Hey, the ever-sweet One nearest, Stay with me in life, in death. In heat like cremation, with cow-milk as offset, A flower-bud I've kept replete. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

From You everyone gets everything

(3687) Vinati jai kare tava carana dhare

Catching Your feet, I keep paying obeisance; Do come to my house, repeatedly showing kindness. There are countless mansions to satisfy mind; Nonetheless, You alone are this my hut's architect. To only Your beat I dance, in only Your tune I sing; I heed just Your tempo, just Your lute I make ring. I too am but Yours; oh everything is only Thine, Just Your liila; You are this, my worldly existence. In just Your thought I think, in just Your talk I speak; By just Your flute I beam, by just Your goad I proceed. You are the base of all, You alone the quintessence; You're the life of everyone, hey Eternal Lord limitless. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Light pours from Your eyes

(3686) Alasa prahare karunay ankhi bhare

At an idle hour, with a kindly eye, Master, You had gazed in direction mine. With a rumbling wind, with sound nice, On a hill of darkness You'd emanated light. Again and again thunder's roar had happened; Worldly life by lightning strike had been rent. At lonesome retreat sweetly-charming having smiled, With own hand, my eyelids You wiped. Even though puny, I knew I'm not unattended; Abed, dreaming, and awake, You are a friend. Amid my sense of 'I', with regal pomp resides Your ambrosial splendor of limitless time. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Repeatedly

(3685) Jyotsna rate tumi esechile

On a moonlit night You had come; Bright purity making pour, You had gone. Distracted had I been by vain delusion, My secret thoughts and feelings You had fathomed. In life, won't that night re-appear? That full moon at dawn,[1] will it smile again in thinking? That lunar crescent, having withdrawn, Will it make mind's peacock dance by strength of mantra? Phagun's night again having come and disappeared, New affection blazes on the palash tree. With buds newly risen sways a branch of silk-cotton; On earth's surface once more has got left wares of love. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Inextricably entwined

(3684) Tomake bhalobasiyachi

Yourself I've been holding dear, Knowingly in my lifetime. Abed and in dream have I seen; I have gone on seeing when I rise. Why I've loved, I know not; My longing had been non-stop. There had been no ritual sadhana; Nonetheless, I have seen all the while. In Your name, in song Thine, I find a gladness immense. Though trifling, I've kept understanding You alone are everyone's quintessence. When You reside within thoughts, Upon life You apply pollen of love. Finally, it gets mixed with absence of light; Everything is within Thee, Your attribute thereby. Hey Dear, Yourself the people desire; Hence, the vital pulse inside. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You came

(3683) Andharer parapare

On the dark's other shore, To a tryst lustrous, You did come. No gift did I wish, I did not throw a tiff; You effused an unearned love By God's rise, eastern skies You brightened; Tender leaves of color excited the mind-realm. With the octave You infused a lyre broken, Unobserved everything You performed. For many ages have people yearned for this arrival, Shaping the collective at heart of a Giant Individual. Great's Vortex swirls within molecule and particle; You fulfilled that hope by having come. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Birthright of one and all

(3682) Nikhil manas manthan kari

Churning the mind entire, Oh Lord, You have come. Surging, a geyser of gold alike, You have smiled in form amorphous. Moment, instant, microsecond, You heed not; For mission of welfare You frustrate not. By dictate or self-restraint, lax You're not; Firmness You have taught. Heart's sweetness is the same for everybody; All sing a song on the strings of feeling. Great's pull is felt also by those living; It is held in common, You have mentioned. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Even though my words mean nothing

(3681) Dakate asoniko krpate ele

You came not at my invitation, by grace You appeared; I have gone on calling, my own mind to appease. Via speech You came not, by thought You appeared; Singing praise and flattery cannot make You blink. Nearest and most intimate, You are the sweetest; You know everything, and yet You listen, Dearest. Having rid the misty fog of my egotism, Embrace to grant, You stand ready. Whatever praise or flattery or prayer that I do, It's to please and get You near, my Lord Vishnu. Having grasped my foolishness, view wretchedness too; Upon my consciousness, sweetness kindly smear. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

How they relate

(3680) Tumi jabe chile mane

When You'd been held in mind, Upon sky the moon had been. Won't it come once more? Through Your love's salve for eyes, The moon had been rising. In sound and in thinking You exist; You dance both without and within. You have dwelt in every particle; Yours is no comparison. Golok and Gokul are You in; At every pore do You grin. Lit-up dust motes You have thrilled; The moon's 'You', it's mysterious. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

In absentia

(3679) Ashrusajal mor ankhipate

On my eyelids tear-drenched, You appeared this morning, hey Beloved. You had no invite nor a ride; Having visited, You go off in secret. You smile at the dawn's break of day; On painted tender leaves of speech You sail. With bloodred lips You talk, Heart-Flame; With mind You get acquainted in a moment. Rose-scented is the tint of Your splendor; Beguiles Your lightning in a golden color. Your keen intelligence is world-famous; With each pore and cavity You're inseparable. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

In this very life I will find Him

(3678) Priya jadi na elo phire

If the Beloved did not come afresh, For Whose sake am I, for Whom will I stay resident? Air and sky estranged, ransacked is a planet; Amid molecule, for Whom will I quest. I'll look for Him in nebula; I'll search in moon and star. Ever seeking in heaven afar, Having caught, I will fetch. At a distance He can't dwell; My mental cavern I'll inspect. By love, Himself I'll surely get On the other shore of darkness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You can do better

(3677) Amake priya tumi bhuliya gecho

Darling, myself You've forgotten. There are many loving You still more; A petty 'I' You have sounded. My Dear, no intellect, patience, or strength have I; There is no stored-up fruit of samskara benign. Salty water from pain-wet eyes... Is that why far away You've retreated? I am Your place-of-worship's earthen lamp, In trembling breast, asway like half-blown kadam. The ruby dot upon a forehead sweat-dabbed You have forgotten; You've done well. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Hallucinogenic

(3676) Vishvabhuvane dola lagiyecho

You've set asway the universe entire; Dance You've made in body and mind. The moon, star, planet, and nebula... Everyone You've filled with life. Your fondness, ever it sparkles; Rushing out, it frolics on Earth and in Heaven. By a string of waves from the cloud's body, Sweetness You've made betide. Telling Your majesty does not succeed; Concept does not find the language of speech. On coast of wisdom's sea or at heart's core, in depths, With many a color brightly You've dyed. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Don't mind me

(3675) Tahari ashay patha ceye hay

The path is watched, alas, in hope of Him only; Day after day of mine disappears. If someone would console, please ignore this worry; For the person who gets Him, the sky's moon is He. I see my love sprawling neath the splendor of moonlight, Veiled eyes bashfully inviting nigh. Smearing just His pollen on each molecule of mind, Swoons remembrance in a constant reverie. Gracefully, the Stamen of a lotus speaks; "Who, when and where finds the flag, it is by mercy. He blends hue with His, who continues in dhyan calling; In the heart of her alone scintillates He. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Lord, my heart is full

(3674) Ami tomay bhalabasi, janai kii kare bojhai kare

Yourself I adore; How do I describe, I edify whom? Entering inside mind, You fathom My thoughts unexpressed, like the flow of Phalgu.[1] My thought does not find language; All hope is pain-struck. Desert-thirst, summer's corpse, Tears they exude. Like a river spilling o'er the shore, A ballerina dances, churning thought. Surging upwards is effusive heart, Calmly unmoved. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

The crest to my trough

(3673) Saomya ramya prashanta dhiir

You are unruffled, idyllic, tranquil and steady; In a storm-tossed life, You are the southern breeze. The solemn Himalayan mountain, banner of lightning, You're the Black-Curdled Ocean, in thought very deep. On Summer's burning anguish, You are sandal paste; At monsoon's screwpine forest, the fragrant air. In Autumn's kush and kash, the sound chaste; From a white cloud o'er anxiety, the dew refreshing. On Prewinter at close of night, the misty fog; With Winter's fall of ice, the fright awesome. At Phalgun's abode, a green-leaved garland Plays a song of Your veena in the Spring. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

True worth

(3672) Tomar katha bheve din cale jay

Contemplating You daytime goes away; Yourself do I love, oh I hold dear. At Your Gokul of mind, light-rays coruscate; By that light, eyes are kept smiling. Unfamiliar and unknown, You are my own nonetheless: The Master, Eternity's quintessence. Absent You I don't exist, this fact I grasp constantly; Compassion Thine is gloom's undoing. With soul You are mingling, hey the Unseen Godhead; Not having got to see, I cry... this is my foolishness. Rashly discarding knowledge for an oyster-shell silvery, Toward mirages I come racing.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Fearsome Friend

(3671) Sudur ambare meghadambaru

On far-distant firmament a damaru of clouds Sounds Your clarion,[1] and quakes all of Creation. When You dance tandava with furious ideation, All the filth and gloom, demolished it be. Through an infallible trident, Heaps of sin, root and branch, float off whence. Vice You rid, aloud You laugh; By third eye any injustice You sear. Subduing evil, You're protector of the righteous; Beauty of the universe, You're the love of everyone. Who knows whereto it departs by Your darts dreaded; From the earth all depravity retreats.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

So fine on the outside

By however much austerity, attained You have I... Inside my heart-core, You remain still more near. To contemplate it feels fine, like a sweet moonlight; Round about You dances my psychic honeybee. The Earth's quintessence, hey Beloved, Everyone's reverend couturier... By action-inclined intellect, fit to be remembered, Hey the Splendor Unseen, everybody prays always to Thee. Your chest of affection, it is endless; Granting compassion, always it goes on and often. Hey the precious Lapis Lazuli, immense mine of diamonds, In life and in death, Your sweetness reigns supreme.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

With You as my Companion

(3669) Ami caini kona kichu tomar kache

I wanted nothing in Your presence; I have simply gone on singing, I have kept singing. I made no declaration, ever having begged; In meditation I've kept seeing, song I've gone on singing. Between You and me the distance is hard to cross; Full of tunes unknown, immense had it been, without shore. Utterly full of desolation, it had been cloaked in fog; And yet I have kept pondering, a song I've gone on singing. Master, You showed unearned kindness; You remained looking toward a face despondent. I am and will continue staying for the whole of time endless; With You I have been in love, a song I've gone on singing.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Wanting is not receiving

(3668) Alo esechilo phul phutechilo

Light had arrived, flower had blossomed; Why did You not come? A cloud had told, the wind had sung: Be known He will come, that One Adored. Mind had believed no more tardiness will be; With night jasmine fragrance those same words speak. The cuckoo coos in my ears two; In them had it said, fetch from cogitation. I don't understand at all why You did not appear; After soul searching, I proceed knowing: This dark home for entrance into, I ignited no lamp, not a one.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording
