In Your midst

(3739) Tumi rupe bhuvan alo kara

Who lights the world with beauty, You're the One; With rhythm You fill up dance and song. Your equal does not exist, I don't find comparison; Alone, You are pair to the whole cosmos. You march forward, You look not backward; Wheels of Your chariot, You don't let pause. Those oblivious, lifting onto lap You haul; Darling, in Your attributes Earth is absorbed. You love, and You create liila With both tender and severe, mixed You are. Those having no one, You've remained for them all; Beginningless and endless are You formed.

Heart of my heart

(3738) Mor nirashar andhare tumi ke

Who are You in the gloom of my despair? Into this solitude, oh Who came? In dream, what I did not fabricate, Is it You? Confidentially, please say. Lackadaisical, I had been bewitched by the mundane; Consciousness, who knows why You brought and gave. Inside thinking You infused sensibility's cascade, Like an unearned, crimson grace. With Your company there'd been no familiarity; I never did anything in exchange for well-being. At no time did I request to appear; Lonely and ashamed, I'd been far away. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Somehow not entirely depressed

(3737) Madhur mohana bhave shyam

With sweet and charming thought, hey Shyam, Please enter my contemplation. My psychic Jamuna has dried up; Do give it Your loving touch. My bud has fallen down, not blossoming, The sun and light not coating. Nectar has evaporated, not exuding, Kept in check by a hundred afflictions. I had thought that You, nearby having come, You will tell something, having loved. With mind felicitated, having smiled a-soft, Even now the path I'm watching in expectation. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

He raises me on high

(3736) Se je eseche kache

The One Who has come nigh, He has snatched the sleep of my eyes. Whether or not He has liked, He's stolen my sense of "I". Myself, through a sweet scent floral, I obtain His heart's fragrance. From the eastern mountain[1], with hue's beauty, His Purvi thaat enters buoyant. In the song and dance of world entire, His love, with cadence, it resides. Amid all of desire-and-find, Everyone has He mesmerized. Covertly, at my mind's inside, Who knows even why He arrives! Though uninvited, constantly does He rise; He disregards any prohibition mine. In the month of spring, on color's swing, Elevated on a restless breeze, He has raised me, gratified. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

It's Him alone that I desire

(3735) Kena je bhalabesechilum

Why had I become enamored? I know not the why's answer. Why had it felt so auspicious; Thought did it take captive. Why am I in nights serene, On Him ever to think? To set aside fatigue and grief, Him have I solicited. Why in meditation, Him having seen, I become abstracted? The outside world gets vanquished; Stunned are seconds counted. Why am I on a thought-stream To mingle with Him only? To be above glee and grief, I go on craving Him. Mayhap to explain I'm unable. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Everything I love

(3734) Tumi jadi nahi ele, vrthai kabarii bandha

When You did not appear, In vain is the hair-braid tied! Then fruitless is decor of light, And useless the melody plied. Fruitless then sacred painting made from rice, And just useless staying well-attired. In vain is tracing lamp-black lines Or stringing blooms to gratify. Age after age for sake of Thee, I am awake, hey my Darling. With an endless impetus of feeling, Crossing all blockade am I. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My God of Fire

(3733) Je agun jvele gele, stupiikrta andhakare

The fire that You lit and left Upon the heaped darkness, It's a comet softened by flaming wreath, From one time to other ages. That fire, on all quarters got beset; It heeded not prohibition, limited or limitless. Resplendent and immense, its crest blazing Spread to every inner self. A sacrificial fire's bosom belches conflagration, To ashes it burns vice's inner core. Defeated is the wickedness on which a demon dances; That property, promptly it dismisses. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Just a second

(3732) Cand hariye gelo andhar neve elo

The moon got lost, darkness descended; You had gone on saying: again You'll come. Moon came back afresh, and light glittered; You did not return to my habitation. The life of everybody's life, hey my Love, The three worlds[1] are brightened by Your splendor. Unlimited subsistence, development, and elation[2], In You only firmly established is the consciousness of everyone. For Your sake is the honey of my psyche; Bud having held aloft, I've preserved carefully. When You're come, I will lavish, emptying; A sidelong look of mercy, glance just once. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Never a dull moment

(3731) Tamasii nishar avasane

At conclusion of night gloomy, The crimson morning came... On life-river's many melodies, You applied color's paint. On eastern sky the sun appeared, Beside my expectation-heaps... By glimpse of hue, ebon-destroying, You withdrew disgrace. In pigment's current, its girdle of form, Variety's cradle of heart... An abstract life, by Your divine sport, Trip's paradise it became. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

No one can decipher

(3730) Tumi kabe esechile

When You had arrived, Unknown, the history of it. All scripture admits defeat; None can imagine. You had come with Your own sport To a crib of molecules and atoms. From a nebula, a garland of stars, What's the motley wish? Lord, allegiance to You I proclaim, Many a ten-million instances. You'd arrived, but who sees why Inside the Ineffable's becalmed mind, Immutable at every time, Though waves diverse delivered. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Sightless I see

(3729) Kuhelir rate tamasate

To ignorance and vice on night of fog, With quiet feet You had come; Hence unknown You went on staying evermore. The night had been darkness-covered; On my eyes had been sleep's drunkenness. That darkness, both birthless and endless, You rendered bright with own mind's color. Through footsteps with anklets lustrous, Bit by bit a resonance had risen up. Deep at heart's core came sensation; You are seen smiling, though hidden gone. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

How about that!

(3728) Ami khunjechi tomay nabhe patale dharay

I've sought You upon earth, in heaven, and in hell; Embrace You did not grant, did not give and did not let. Hey Ashutosh, maybe it is my fault; I'm not known for any godliness. You don't yield to scripture or philosophy; Touching You does not succeed by a vernal breeze. You are in the mind, You've kept dancing inside heart; And hence You can't be bought, regardless of expense. You don't get known through books or deeds; To no taboo do You pay heed, amused at daybreak and at eve. Family members faraway You make, and faraway ones kin; By games diverse, You are in the soul's subtleness. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Both old and new

(3727) Mohabhainjana manorainjana

Dispeller of blind fascination, pleasing to psyche, The entity omni-transcendent, Hey the Happiness that's deep... By majesty of name and glory of thought, You are more than life itself, Hey the ancient Being. You are the greatest truth, Consciousness Supreme, Pervading both matter and spirit equally. Molecule and atom are wholly evolved in You only You are existence and decease. In a dance-cadence to eternity's love-tryst, Endless ambrosial essence, everyone You are with. Age after age You'd been, You exist, and You'll persist... Having deluged thinking, Hey the Ever-new Personality. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Never will I tire

(3726) Ganer e malakhani, tomari tare racechi

This paltry song-wreath, I've composed for You only. Gems and pearls I have not gleaned; Just these odes of mine are there. I pluck blooms in the morning; I pack maya's string at evening. Constantly recalling Thee, Inside tune I've strung a speech. This life's entire veneration, Many private investigations, With transience a contention... Rid has been all the fatigue. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

The tale endures

(3725) Cander alor deshe phuler parage mishe

Mixed with floral pollen from the land moonlit, You had arrived upon that night which... Sweetness amplified, paradise perceived, Hey the Mind-Pleaser, You came with what wish? Up to now the screwpine stamens, just that story they tell; Juhi jasmines sing Your triumph, even though distressed. Pinwheel flowers, Spanish jasmines, and the jati, senses aquiver, Privately, they compose boundless songs of lovers' tryst. Even today the forest-doe, she gazes at the sky; With his tail unbodied, the peacock spies. In delight the frog croaks through tears love-filled; He cries to learn from kadam and tamal still. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Such a dilemma

(3724) Esechile tumi se rate

On that night You had appeared; The moon's smile was suppressed. By a sweetly gentle vernal breeze, Abundantly supplied was endless happiness. I know not what is Your style; What You state, that too grasp not I. What's the prayer from One Who's Realized? Night and day, ahead You move abreast. Having gone on giving, taking You don't desire; God Ubiquitous, pray tell, what will He acquire! Whatever's there, it belongs to Him only; Beginning-to-end's collection of wealth. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Let me see Your smiling face

(3723) Sumukhe asite na cao

You don't like to come in front; Do come, please arrive, inside eyes. I don't want You loath or displeased; I want You to smile. Catching You does not succeed; So say the folk who are knowing. I am stupid, knowledge lacking; To hold grace I desire. What happens not by Your kindness? Powerless, a mountain gets overleapt. The mute also speak in a moment; Upon me Moon smiles in a trice. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Make my day

(3722) Eso tumi amar deshe

In my country do arrive please, Having loved and smiled sweetly. At home I've kept ready a seat, Mind's dais with floral finery. Be my country's Guest of Honor; Disregarding date, remain evermore. This my land is wholly overspread With love-filled, existential ecstasy. When You are not appearing, oh my Beloved, Kindly know, my everything is useless: Sweetness of breast, moonlight and moon... In essence the opposite of joy's nest cozy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

From the first day

(3721) Tumi esechile viina bajiyechile

You had come, You had played a veena; Even still its jingle goes on floating. Melody You had taught, songs You had sung; A string of that lute flashes in psyche. You'd gone on making Earth enchanted; After long, unbodied sleep, ecstatic. By that Your import, a bearing having insight deep, A golden waterfall upon life is cascading. You did not go far remote, ever You are circling all; In the casket of psyche hums Your love. By that Your manner and music mode, immortal affection, Inside what's beyond hue, color is swooning. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Sympatica

(3720) Ei tamasay bhara varasay

In this same gloom-filled rainy season, My mind goes on floating with a cloudy-green complexion, Like sweet beauty of a bamboo flute's arbor. That Beloved, won't He come, won't He play a reed pipe; Won't He sway a heart with Jamuna waters of pastime? On the octave won't a lyre with its jingling sound excite, And by even just one person does this get labeled love? Outside, the rain exudes a sleep-breaking tune; Unseen by all, at home my eyes effuse. Drenched by a tear-stream, mid whole world in solitude, Who looks afresh in my direction! Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My Dark Prince, I muse on Thee

(3719) Madhaviikuinje eso shyam

Oh Krsna, at myrtle grove please arrive, Intoxicating psyche's bumblebee. A hushed-up bud drain until dry, The heart's ambrosia two hands filling. This myrtle grove, it is mine; It lives on in hope Thine... Every instant that is idle, Ciphering the seconds owing to Thee. I don't know whether You will come, Making my effort blossom. Sprinkled tears and love tender, Will or won't they entice Thee? Please appear in a groom's clothing, Decked by blooms and song's resonance lingering... A visage sweet and mind alert, With smiling lips in depths of reverie. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

He is curious

(3718) Acena ajana raye geche

He Who has remained unknown, different, His mildly intoxicating vernal breeze, It's afloat upon celestial firmament. He Who's mixed with crimson efflorescence, Upon eastern sky, at end of gloomy darkness, The language of heart's hope, a sleepless night, Propped up by faith in Him alone, it dances. His song I sing... about Him only do I think; I rise and fall on just His undulating stream. By just His love's exudation, its hint of sweetness, A song rings out, a lute jangles. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Finally I see

(3717) Ruper sayare dub diye ami

I am sunk in form's sea; I've obtained the gem form-free. By amorous gesture and smiling with long-held desire, I have gained the prayed-for Darling. This jewel is not of a gem-mining quarry... On sky, in air, wherever I make scrutiny. Everything exists, just one thing is not there; Today I've seized that Singular Entity. This precious stone does not get known publicly; Sparkles in darkness the mine of psyche. By thought-fetters it is tied, I perceive; And yet, not grasping, I am troubled by fear. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You started a song

(3716) Giitimalika gale esechile

Song-wreath upon neck You'd appeared, On an avenue jasmine-strewn that evening. In that dream-filled, sportive litter, Floating to the Unknown still I proceed. By octave its keynotes lifted up, A song full of love You'd sung... In one hundred streams on lyre-strings, With light-spikes of anklets shining. That song won't ever get lost; Age after age it will not pause. In the vast cosmos it will go on sailing; Beyond luminaries on a path of hearing. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Universal Bengal

(3715) Bamla amar desh bamlake bhalabasi

Bengal is my homeland; Bengal I hold dear. In Bengal's grief I weep; in Bengal's joy I beam. Brothers-sisters of Bengal are the pals of play only; Bengal's heart heavenly goes on pouring love constantly. Bengal's flower, fruit, and water are daybreak's[1] smiling lotus, Epoch-making, chagrin-ridding, in fog of despondency. All of the Bengali hope, the language of Bengali love, May it be accomplished through cosmic harmony once more. The Bengali boys and girls, Bengali heaps of wisdom, May it be achieved, hey Lord, thoughts of the Great mixing. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Everybody has need; everyone we must feed

(3714) Jiirna vishiirna

Extremely thin, emaciated, For the living I'll provide. The sick and hunger-stricken, Whatever else, I'll keep alive. Those who are afflicted or uptight, From anguish and disease very tired... Be they bird or beast or humankind... Everybody, we are sired. Even shrubs and ivy, they are life; For them too we must contrive. Those far away I have pulled near; Along I've taken everybody. With both mind and heart I have paid heed; Only for all are riches prized. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I would bear their burden

(3713) Jhatika jadi ase

When a windstorm may come, Hey Lord, to confront do permit. At the spate of a flood, From me please take service. When earth's strata may budge, And if volcanic craters erupt Or bird-nests, they fly off; In mind stir the sense of kinship. Minuscule am I, wholly bereft; Make me wet with kindness. By cosmic ideation drenched, Relief of those stricken, let me take part in. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I seek peace of mind

(3712) Ek alo andharer khela

A game of light and gloom, Hey Prabhu, in this, Your Genesis. Everyone moves rapidly when light is detected; Then to envelop it arrives a mist. After moon's smile comes a dark night; A gloomy day follows the nighttime bright. Like a lantern adorned is the star-shine; But hiding it by rain or sun comes quick. Like a flower in bloom is the smile of a child, A rainbow and the autumn moon, incomparably fine. But they don't stay for a long time... off they glide To get lost in a temporal pit; So, in joy and sorrow, I crave Your shelter. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

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. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

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
