Only You encourage me

(3664) Jhalamala alote dhara tumi daoni

You did not surrender to glittering light-rays; Upon tears of grief, Bosom Friend, You had come. Toward a decorated altar, You didn't gaze, even by mistake; Upon wails of pain You had granted vision. With Shravan's load of clouds, in life You had appeared; Billowy waves, they had shattered in dream. None were close, all have gone far away in fear; You alone, having come, had said I'm not abandoned. With Neptune's tandav, like a fire's burning, Each moment You were with me, in all my dearth and plenty. Never You withdrew afar, Lord, under shelter You have kept; On a singed forehead You've traced an unbeatable tika.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

By Your grace

(3663) Varasa esechilo bharasa diyechilo

The rains had come, confidence they'd given Earth will get anew lush verdancy. Amid that same faith, in beauty reigned Your song; In it had been Your love replete. Moorhens will call again, pied cuckoos won't covet water; With the peacock's tail will dance a rousing sentiment. In many rhythms and music beats, the screwpine blossoms Will give pollen from a driven psyche. On the bank of lake will rise the sound of frogs; Bumblebees will buzz around the stamen of cadamba. Beyond reach of mind, on the far shore of fog, The Star of North will sparkle brightly. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I cannot forget

(3662) Tumi chile sukhashayane

You had been upon a bed of ease; I have gone on calling and calling, Beloved. My call did not pierce Your idle ear, But I forsook nonetheless. At Vaekuntha You had been sunk in sleep; Days have passed effort-free on an earth without mercy. Forgetting my direction, You looked not eyes opening; You saw not how much I have wept. Yours alone is everything: water, sunlight, fruit, and blossom; Not a thing belongs to me... I'm a beggar of Your favor. At every pasture You dance, with both lips You grin; In Maya's slumber I have not forgotten. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

When ego's bubble bursts

(3661) Ganer e aunginate

At this courtyard of song You arrived on this same morn. You'd been hid in mind's collyrium; Suddenly You permitted vision. You're the world's quintessence; Yours is all action and knowledge. By vanity becoming drunk, Mind to deceive, I believe to me belong. Absent You none else is there; A bubble Yours is everybody. At Your sea ablution having done, Finally with Thee will I move in unison. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

A snake swallows its tail

(3660) Ele arupa srote ruper paridhite

Came You, the Formless, on stream in form's circumference; Hari, my most Beloved, You remove the dark. With Generation, Operation, and Destruction at fixed residence, Hey the Bliss-Player, You make liila. When You entered into form, the form-free Godhead, Which was that time of yore with a light fest? Vitality, by which elixir did You spread; And how many diadems were retracted from a Kamsa? Never does it happen, Your coming and going; Master, You are not obstructed by an erstwhile territory. Nonetheless, the foolish mind invites Yourself near, Even though You are intralocomotional.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Only slightly visible

(3659) Tomare ceyechi gopane

Yourself have I wanted privately; Beloved mine, You are everybody's boon companion. You are in an existence, with rhythm and song replete; Though fit for recollection, in fact You're enveloped. Alongside, a lamp of light You've retained, Mid leaves of love a swing You have swayed. Also the one slighted, with You is he placed; No one in the universe You ever make lonesome. Whose someone isn't anywhere, he too calls out to Thee, Through gaps of only cloud external-and-internally. Though dormant in the worldly, in thought You are shining, Exquisite with white moonlight, the full moon at dawn.[1]  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Even though we don't spot

(3658) Banshari bajiye jay sahasa nayane cay

A bamboo flute He goes on playing, looks with eyes smiling, Today in Gokul He makes sport, Golok's Hari. With painted lower lip He entertains; Ever calling, everyone He tells: "Rush near!" None is not His kindred, distant is nobody; All are family, He finds everyone in thinking. The Jamuna, upstream with waters lively does it race; A string of waves sway like His wreath of rosary peas. For quelling the wicked, the righteous to maintain, Sin's flag of carnage, its collapse to make, He comes frequently, a drumbeat with bow's twang; In this world a store of virtue His like is not there. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Everything I be...

(3657) Je amare jahai baluk

Whatever anyone myself may tell, Yourself I've held dear. Your arrival and Your smile, In my life they play a pipe of reed. All hope of mine relies on Thee; I will go on staying in abode of psyche. Hey the Messenger of Peace, Unruffled Beauty, So it is I come again frequently. You are ever in Vraja's ideation; You've remained coated by the phag of my love. Hey the One by milkmaids adored, For Your sake only, do I laugh, do I weep. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Maybe it won't be today

(3656) Akash balechilo vatas balechilo

The sky had told, the wind had said– They had hinted to everyone: The Sun, You will arrive; You'll abide no privation; Unholy practice will finish on this earth's surface. In the heavens comets fearsome will not dance any more; Golden existence won't permit tails of destruction. Become introspective, heart-filled will be all; Earth's Onus-Remover, every moment they will get Your love. For Your auspicious advent, the world is ready; You allow it be made wholly self-sustaining. Drowsiness dispelled, salvation-road is seen quickly, You let it be lively-made with a mind-strength vigorous. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Help me to help You

(3655) Giitir kanu priitir kanu

Kanu[1] of song, Kanu of love, Kanu of Vraj, this earnest petition, It's in my mind: At a sweet garden, Hey Mohan,[2] do smile with conviction. Searching for that does not finish In a mountain cave or remote jungle. Only that is on mind's floral dais; Please arrive, clad regally, hey Avatar of Sport. To speak of Your merit, To promote Your name's luster, By a string of waves from nectar's ocean, Hey the Lord of Heartcore, show compassion. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

What did You say?

(3654) Tumi kii cao ami janina

What You crave, I know not; What's it You say, I grasp not. Oh Who are You, the Unfamiliar Pilgrim; Just for an instant why don't You stop? Blessing of heaven You have brought; You've effused a heap of love. Risen have You in the mind-pores; To fathom this liila I cannot. Like moonlight's moon You've brightened up; You've overlaid rainbow colors. Wild You've driven with a monsoon song, Hey the One Inchoate and Incog. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Benevolence begins with Him

(3653) Shivashaunkaraha he shubhaunkarah

Shivashankar, hey the Auspicious One, Seed of the world, Master, storehouse of compassion, Like a silver mountain is Candrashekhar, A gem resplendent, welfare's source. You've a battle-axe in hand, with aim to bless and rid fear; E'er I prostrate before Thee, kindly take pity on me. May You be pleased, hey the Perception of Intention, Clad in tiger-skin and wielding bow thunderous. Established in the principle of social equality, Your sea of attributes, by scripture it is not revealed. Particles of dust from Your feet, please give to me; Transcendental and primordial, undaunted Lord. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Kidnapped or eloped

(3652) Niilsayarer svarnakamal phutechilo kabe

When it had bloomed, the golden lotus of blue sea,[1] Who perceives? Amid blue ocean's bosom, with the light's festivity, In a song of sweet amity... Having lifted face underneath the rays of morning, In the wind it was swaying like a dangling earring. To present a scent honeyed it was not forgetting, From just the wine of love and a life cadence-replete. Suddenly, that one fairy, Catching it, off she carried. No taboo did she heed; All pain's while totally mute, in privacy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Seeing You on the path

(3651) Varasamukhara rate sajala ankhipate

On a rain-loud night, through wet eyelids, Watching Your arrival-path, awake I'd been, hey bosom friend. Outside was a storm, alone had I been seated; I'd imagined that piercing the fog, Your sight I'll get. Like fire is Your sacred and profound love; Having rid mind's filthiness, it rouses splendor. It expels affliction, far away all fear becomes; Like a gem-studded jewelbox, upon eyes a tika golden. There's no day, no moment, no right or wrong time; Of Your coming-and-going, no periphery do I find. Stored in You we see everything we desire; We sense a moonlight fixed amid conscious existence. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Lonesome at Gokul

(3650) Krsna bina e niipakuinja

Without Krsna is this bower of neep. Having lost its beauty and become speechless, On a bed of dust the karanja weeps. Grass renounced and face raised, Braj milchcows see not the view; Though all ears, they don't hear anybody's bamboo flute. Peacocks no longer dance, the pied cuckoos[1] don't gauge water; Wagtail birds have become gimpy. Flow of the Jamuna, no more upstream does it hie; With hue, the kingfisher and carambola do not entice the mind. The frog along with moorhen, they don't invite rainfall's advent; On the sky accumulation of dark cloud is not there. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

In the Vrndavan of mind

(3649) Gopiijanavallabha nitya anubhava

A constant experience of the Gopiis' Darling Sails on the air of imagination only mine. Sandalpaste of Madan, the King of Braj pleasing, Like the bright moonlight, it smiles. This Krsnacandra is never made Rahu's morsel; He has no expectation, this King of the Mind-realm. He goes on pouring love, nothing does He covet; By His own revelation, ever publicized. The Cosmic Overlord, the Ultimate Refuge of All, Please look with eyes of mercy, a loving splendor. At feet I stoop... Hari, kindly stay close ever more, Within the Vrndavan of mind. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Maybe you should think twice

(3648) Rturaj ese kane kaye geche

Springtime having come, it has gone on whispering: "Hear my words, Bud. Today do not blossom. You'll get anguish; the Dear One will not come. That Mind-King, pain He will not fathom. Like fire He will burn in psyche; Staying far away, with dance He will drive crazy. He will smile sweetly, but He won't yield; He will make you weep, that same Shameless One. He'll play on a bamboo flute in ragas unparalleled; With rhythm and song, a sweetness the best. Pouring that He will leave, He'll sadden inconsolably; At unseen place He will stay, the Three Worlds'[1] Overlord. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Always in mind

(3647) Bhulite cahina kabhu bhulibo na

I don't want to forget, I won't forget at any time; Please stay with me, Darling, in mind please remain. Mid typhoon of worldly things, with deluge of falseness, Myself held knowingly, kindly maintain. With the wine of consciousness life please do lade; Well-trained in essence salutary, with work engage. At depths of mind, in waters of dense consciousness, Kindly summon me through love and tender care. Hey the Sea of Affection, vast and extremely deep, Myself please keep in mind; I'm a drop of You only. By Your kindness and compassion, Each and every moment at me gaze! Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Please hear my words

(3646) Alor devata shono mor katha

Light's Deity, kindly hear my plea: On this dark world pour effulgence. Psyche's peacock dances, contact it beseeches; Pack bliss into existence. Around lotus feet, both star and nebula travel, For sake of subsistence, development, and happiness.[1] A Kaostubha-like, matchless splendor, On each visage please do fetch. Hey the pathway's Guide for all time, The tale of Your virtue, I cannot visualize. Making throb both molecule and mite, In every life, wake awareness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Blinded by the light

(3645) Alokete chile aloker dut

In the light had been splendor's messenger; To recognize You I could not. Having reached close by, You arrived, enticing mind; Though having requested, a word I spoke not. Having crossed the seven seas, You arrived; Grimace of ignorance You did set afire. Thorns of the path You flung aside; Yet having tugged mind, I took not. Musing, I saw not: Whoever You may be, You belong to me; Your night of compassion, it will become morning. If You only wish, hewn is misery extreme; Even though knowing, to know I learned not. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Light came

(3644) Ashar pasara sahasa elo

Wares of hope came unexpected, suddenly; A hurricane of light did arrive, was approaching. The ray-spate, mountain-like, Earth entire, shrouded, it let be. Darkness remained not at any corner; In no one's psyche did filth linger. Lavishing great life upon life after life, All contemplation, enticed, it received. Those who'd been confined in a dark pit With mundane thought's moundheap of ignorance, Eyes they did spread... looking, did see At daybreak, a purple mountain[1] shining. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

What I want from loving You...

(3643) Bhalabesechi tomare ami

Yourself have I loved; In exchange I want nothing. You're the gem of core for everyone, Praiseworthy at mind's dwelling. I've roamed in search on mountain peaks, On plains of hell, and on lakes holy, In each place of shade from every leaf, I've returned with heart despairing. What had been my wisdom and acumen, I see You are everyone's assortment. Hard it is to fathom with my power Your boundless scheme. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Something in the air

(3642) Arup tomar abhas pelum

Formless One, I got Your hint Upon shoreline of the form-sea. You wanted not to yield; Afar You'd been concealed. I've forgot the specific occasion; In mind there's not meeting's song. There's only a memory of acquisition, Underneath a sky lovely. I regard You as the Lord of Sport, In gloomy heart a mine of diamonds, Emerald's gem of splendor On my melancholy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

For me You do everything

(3641) Maner gahane ele bujhi na kii mayabale

I don't grasp by what magic strength You entered mental depths; By which wile of that liila I know not what You fancy? An ambrosial smile on lips, penetrating secretly You did persist; None can imagine why a divine play You go on creating. From time immemorial, eternally You continue floating; Having called from place unseen, to core of heart You speak. Above the realm of form, the sweetness-coated Formless, Hiding own identity, filthiness, off You carry. Your equal in the three worlds, there is no other; At Heaven, Earth, or Hell, a second I don't discover. The God effecting liberation, all-pervading Lord, Unseen light having smeared, light's song You sing. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Yet nothing do we comprehend

(3640) Kadambavane ele venuka bajabe bale

As You will play a bamboo flute You came to a kadam forest; Oh Dark Prince,[1] awesome is the Cosmic Game! Embrace You don't allow, what You want You don't avow; How moves the world You don't say. Endless is Your liila, there's no outer edge of thought; Yourself I find above all time, right or wrong. You are light continuous, descending with compassion; Through thought that kindness coruscates. In mind's paradise is Mohan accompanied by sweetness; Hey the Milkmaids' Darling, You exist every moment. Upon Jamuna with upstream flow does love race, Consciousness through sympathetic grace. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Comes the spring

(3639) Campakahare sajaye tomare

Having decked You with magnolia wreath. Today I'll seat upon raised platform. Let them tell me what they please... There's no use hearing that talk! A garland of malatii I've strung, Having arrayed a wicker tray for welcome.[1] With color-beauty, with leaf and with blossom, Effusive is the King of Seasons. Bugles of war ring out in harmony; The Cloud Walker reigns o'er meditation-beams. All shyness and any complex of infatuation, Now it's found to be tucked off. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Myself You cherished...

(3638) Bhalabesechile amare priya

You had loved me, Darling; In exchange, naught did You desire. I have taken charity, two hands filling; Able to give nothing was I. Light at the dark of night You have gone on giving; What is good You've apprised, discretion awaking. By thund'rous proclamation, You set afire ebony; Not even a matchstick's flame You acquired. Under the afternoon sun diminished, To me at ear did You whisper, by means furtive: "In gladness and in sadness and in grief, I am with; I did not forget you at any time." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Under tow

(3637) Tumi giitira saorabhe priitira rabhase

You are in fragrance of song, in love's passion; You have kept attracting the Earth. With splendid light rays, by invisible collection, Person after person You have conquered. No one is distant, no one unrelated; Everyone is Yours, equally acquainted. At depths of the mind, in a private kingdom, Everybody's story You've considered. Upon kush tips, the Prime Person is roaming, Coating on heart-core the sweetness of thinking. With ambrosial emission, sky and wind are filling; Glorious have You been. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Forever You accompany

(3636) Tomar tarei kata vyatha, tumi ki jano na balo more

Just due to You only, there's so much pain; Don't You know, myself please tell. Alas, with hope arrives and goes the day; Afloat my tears the night sets. Why is it that I had loved; And having loved, did this become? Ever crying, a life went off; Yet mind cannot forget. A streak of light from outer space, I'm not alone, to me proclaims. Boon companion ever, You're awake, Across the ocean of darkness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Even when He comes nigh

(3635) Andhar sariye ele tumi priyatama

Eliminating darkness You came, my Most Darling. Beyond language, You'd been like a pendulum in thought; When to-and-fro is done, having become everyone's Most Near. I could not imagine that You will arrive. That You'll be gracious, never did I realize; It's hard to grasp Your play divine, hey the Unique Being. You're on mount and in abyss, having filled the midst of everyone. Psyche's peacock dances round and round Your splendor; In raiment of form You came, the Formless One Without Peer. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

It's You I crave

(3634) Manuser mane tumi sajatane

In the human mind are You, taking trouble; You built the altar, hey the One Who's Charming. With love-filled song and meditation on Beloved, That greatly excited the sky of psyche. Necessity is akin to making ready; In the blossom pollen is mixed with honey. Amid oyster shell pearl gets received; At every watch[1] You have kept decorating. A tiny string of buds threaded, You gave a garland; From body of the bee, a burning sting comes. Moonlight in dream is a girdle of infatuation With Your sweetness, Ruler of the Spheres. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Such delight

(3633) Kon raunina prabhate aruna alote

On some colored morning, on its crimson light-rays, You'd arrived, hey the Avatar of Sweetness. Earth, inert and motionless, got filled with vitality; By Your song, it became intent. Molecule and atom, dance-vivacious, Had awakened, being swollen with thought. Ocean-waves became water-raucous To greet You, hey Liila's Embodiment. History has forgot that same story, Ballad of the Great to break torpor and sleep. That same ancient tale, upon sky, in atmosphere, Still today it sails on, hey Lord Omnipresent. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Come round, everybody

(3632) Ajana pathik eseche ajike

Today the Unknown Pilgrim has arrived; Bring a floral garland, bring a welcome-tray.[1] Agar- and sandal-wood, sensation's Eden; Filled with kadam blossomed, bring a large plate. Everyone to hold dear does He realize; Everybody does He keep inside His own mind. By His personal attraction all He does entice; By His own merit, He makes them all forget burning pain. On His outside remains nothing; Getting Him, the only vow, effort holy. Difference between self and others, He does not concede; Heart-poured is His unearned favor. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Always due to You only?

(3631) Prabhu tomate amate paricay kabe

Lord, when introduced were You and me, It's not writ in history. You had been, and I too had existed In hope of dust from Your lotus feet. You were entertaining, playing on a bamboo flute; From that was I dancing, getting enthused. I was simply cherishing only You; In hope of charity I did not feel. Thenceforth have gone off ages plenty; Ardent for worldly things, gloom has appeared. Piercing that fog romps splendor of Thee; Why does it attract me, that I don't perceive. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Krsna-consumed

(3630) Gopiijanavallabha tumi priya

The Sweetheart of Gopiis, You are loved, Slayer of Kamsa, hiking the mind. Beyond language at the Gokul of psyche, Hey Murari, always You have smiled. Unbodied has remained a faint, shapeless presence; Rahu never makes that moon a morsel. That Krsnacandra, heart's heaven He fills to the brim with a wind fine. Constantly bowing at lotus feet ruddy, Every moment, each instant stay with me. Myself do make dance to those same beats, The meter You sounded upon that reed pipe. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

All right

(3629) Tumi priya mor ami tomar

You are my Darling, I belong to Thee. I have no merit, only faults exist; You're the aggregate of all good qualities. You are the morning sheen and crimson glow of evening; In a forest strewn with flowers, affection sweet. The screwpine's floral pollen on a midnight stormy, You go on floating, unyielding, unceasing. Mine is time right or wrong, metric cadence or beat-breach; Free from pause or tethering, You are Eternity. Readily, You bear the weight of my life worldly. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Once You were alone

(3628) Vishva jakhan hayni takhan

When the universe was not, then In whose heart had You stayed? Pray tell, You had been in which place? None had been to tell their story, To give pain in whose life. I accept the You of liila's ocean; I know liila is so stern. Oh the God of Liila, You speak, I listen; Had You been in seclusion in such way? I don't know scripture or philosophy; Except for You I heed nothing. Just one speck of Your mercy; Hence I beg, night and day. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My sea of despair

(3627) Bhalor ceyeo bhalo tumi priya

Even better than good, great are You, Beloved; You are everybody's Darling Dearest. On a chair ebony You are a beam of light; Mind-pleasing form made manifest. Water of a cloud and the heat of fire, Can I forget You at any time? Abed and in dream, Yourself I keep in mind, My hope on a sea of despondence. There is nothing mine, You exist only; On a gloomy sky You're the moon, unique. Inside an empty heart, the lotus-honey; You have poured unequaled sweetness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Again and again I stray

(3626) Nutana varase praneri harase

At onset of the rain, by my life's ecstasy, I proclaim reverent salutation to Thee. With my existence always welcoming, In a mite's thinking, You are replete. You have given dwelling place, You gave food and water; You have given light-rays, You gave fruit and flowers; You have given air and shade, cool and agreeable; You've given pity, gratifying. You have given fire at late night wintry; You gave a sweet scent in floral company. You gave intellect and strength to fight the enemy; What did You not give, Lord, graciously! I've forgot the way, by the worldly I've been crazed; You have forgiven me frequently. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Life of my life

(3625) Kena krsna sajal tithite

On this dark, rainy day, why, oh Krsna, Stormcloud-complexioned One,[1] will You not arrive? In the jailhouse of Mathura, Oh Virtue's Abode, won't You kindle light? Pasture's milch cows, by Your name are frenzied; Listening, no more a reed pipe will they hear. Night won't stay lit brightly In Nanda's pleasant domicile. Upon Jamuna's water won't rise a swell; In the ebon color, anyone to see Yourself? Amid a heap of tamal trees or in arbor of kadam, A gopii will not dance all the time. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Money isn't everything

(3624) Tomari deoya prane tomari deoya mane

In the life and mind bestowed by You only, Following You is my sadhana. I contemplate just Your words, I know Yours is everything; Absent You, even a little remains not. Oh Callous One, why are You in breach; Why have You gone far away, forsaking me? Do come closer still, much is there to speak; Yourself I am praying to receive. I had been forgetting You, I know not for how long; Ever in the company of matter, a mess I've become. Today I've understood that I am Yours alone; Round about Thee revolves my fancy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Having sought, we did not find

The seven Champas, speak on seeing: "Hey Parul, where had you gone...[1] Searching, searching constantly, We had all been anxious. "We'd all sought neath morning's light, And we have searched at dark of night. We've looked into all vile or fine; Mind-shrine, thoroughly explored. "Under the midday sunbeams, We've gone on searching, passionately. Filled with a moonlit night's dream, Ever seeking, we did not reach the shore."  Sarkarverse article Audio recording
