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

(3623) Sat-ti canpa dekhe bale

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

I don't and won't forget

(3622) Je agun jvele gele tumi priya

The fire You went on lighting, hey my Beloved; That will never get extinguished, we all realize. In the dark there'd been Your lamp begemmed; To that shine, ever-radiant, I pay mind. The tiny garland in my hand You had took up, lifting; Upon Your collarbone You had worn the wreath. On the floral bouquet was love and affection smeared; You gave a dazzling smile's flash, also that I recognize. By the rays of effulgence shed at fall of Your feet, Removed was gloomy darkness; on eyelids light appeared. The nectar of paradise Moon brought down to Earth; I count the half-minutes ere that to re-acquire. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

A thing of beauty

(3621) Canderi deshe elo bhese

She came floating in from the lunar realm; Who is one unknown apsara presently? Inside My mind at every moment, By that advent bugles rise up playing. Tender green leaves dormant, awoke they have risen; The dozing leaves, again life they have gotten. With fragrant buds, with cuckoo-and-peacock-call din, A lonely forestland has risen dancing. Shattered has gotten everyone's drowsy lethargy; Eyes have opened wide through Phalgun abir. Foliar beauty and a flower alluring, That person disguise-deft, to come down has agreed. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Such is my puzzle

(3620) Andhar sagar periye cale

Having crossed the dark sea, proceeds Your love's splendor; You are the Bow Wielder's song. Withdraw death's fangs, instilling angst, The-long-toothed demon's morsel-fear. By so much penance of Parvati, With so many of Kama's ash heaps. By the oblations of Daksha aplenty, Came this burnt offering. I don't find a start, middle, or end; Musing upon the thought, I lose myself. Singing Your ode I go ahead, Effusing all fervid zeal. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

What's not to like?

(3619) Bahe madhu pavan e jyotsnay

Under this moonlight blows a wind that's sweet. By the touch of vernal breeze, aroma is impassioned; The cuckoo bird makes one hear what story? Earth is dancing with young, tender leaves in color; Floating is the scent of the molted blossoms. Along with the bastard teak and minds anxious, Silk-cotton trees go on smiling. The bed of medlars is coated with fragrance; The magnolia grove with trumpet flowers is gone mad. The floral ornaments, around foot wrapped, They allure with Nature's beauty. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

The last word?

(3618) Kunale kanta thake ke na jane

Who doesn't realize that thorns reside upon stalk; So does a lotus say "I won't uphold", pray tell, Beloved? I am not able to see in the late night dark; Even then, won't I walk on the path unknowable? What is not in my vicinity, is it then worth naught, Like a story that never more will I think of? Amid the insignificant abides a cream-collection; In a mine's dark abyss the lovely diamond sparkles. Foolish me, I've contrived many disparate mistakes; Having known the right theory, heed I have not paid. At evening having come today, the path I've attained; You shine upon a sea of twilight, glow fit to worship. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I pray for relief

(3617) Tumi alor pratibhu prabhu

Master, You are Light's Broker; Set aside the gloomy dark. At end of the protracted night, Do let dawn be brought. So much had I been waiting, Age after age by the hundreds aplenty. Of a dull-witted mind, stymied, Today, kindly note once more. Counting brief seconds, day has transpired; The night's darkness, alone and tongue-tied. With unreal knowledge life has gone by; Kindle the lamp of profound wisdom!  Sarkarverse article Audio recording
