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.

  1. Between longing's heat and monsoon relief myself You hang.
