More than I could ever dream

(3783) Ceyechilum tomay ami

I had wanted and witnessed You. In thrill of form's spray beauteous. You came in fascinating floral garb, When Yourself I have wished for. With attraction of chrysanthemum, Like a silver lotus You have come. Whatever I want, only that You give; In that do Your hues mix? Having wanted in spring colors I got lotus within lotus. Wanting's indigence You let be fathomed: Rectified the insufficiency of thought. I had desired with conceit; You took amid foot dust. Wishing and getting, to me they belong; All is already Yours, it dwells in perpetuum: What was not and what did exist; Everything there isn't and what there is. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

No amount of love to downplay

(3782) Kena ami tomar ghare asi na

Why to your home I come not, Unto you will I say? No, no, I'll say not. Why, having loved, embrace I grant it not... That fact will I explain? No, I will declare it not. Love is in creeper and leaf; In the floral pollen love is there. With love the spores go floating; In their company I'll tell what tale? No, no, I will speak not. With love the mind gets complete; With love the heart is overflowing. From love the three worlds[1] keel; That love will I disdain? No, no, I will forget not! Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My Curiosity

(3781) Tomay ami ceyechi, gopane gahane

Yourself have I witnessed, Both in secret and in depth. Obscure Traveler, please look for just a while In my direction, with eyes of kindness. Except You there is naught for which I long; I don't think of any other in meditation. Just Your love, Your unequaled effulgence, It brightens existence. You've tied me with such a thread floral; When wishing to rend, You have kept it undamaged. There's no end to the tale of Your merit; Thinking, I notice its lifespan is undiminished. In just Your mission, Your honeyed essence, On a ray of moonlight I ascend. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Whatever Your reason or purpose

(3780) Kii dos karechi balo na

Pray tell, what sin have I committed; My home, why did You not visit? I have loved with mind and heart; Though known, that too, don't You know it? Threading a garland became futile; Utterly useless was the tune practiced. Mem'ry is with tears and laughter; The alpana painted, do I abolish? I have witnessed in the shrine of mind; By Your dye I've become bright. In Your song and dance, become rapt have I; Hence, staying away is not tolerated.   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

How can I?

(3779) Bhavi tomay bhule jabo

I think I will go, Yourself forgetting; How do I forget, kindly answer! You rise floating on the horizon; If I think, won't I observe? With sandalpaste You smile in the summer heat; You float on screwpine pollen in the season rainy. Mid the kush and kash You dance, autumn during; And from white clouds You construct a rocking cradle. At pre-winter You are in paddy's fine aroma; At winter, in the silvery ice and frost. In spring by the gracious beauty of color, Implication You give through a dappled wind.   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Bhaerav dwells within us

(3778) Bhaerav tumi durjoge ele

Bhaerav, You appeared at time of threat, With a dark tilak upon forehead. Whatever You received, You conquered and went, Even for an instant, movement not halted. Become nest-bereft are birds aplenty; Animals and humans lost their lodging. Like a flood, many tears kept on floating. You did not eye it for a moment. Oysters got drenched by water of own making; To deep beneath, the pearl went on sinking. Mentality full of love came in racing, With relief for the oppressed in this mundane realm.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Unraveling Your mystery

(3777) Jeo na jeo na priya mor

Don't leave, don't go, my Beloved, When You came to my dwelling. The whole night for sake of Thee, On gate I have placed a rice painting. I have plucked the smiling parul; Within wreath I've inserted bakul. Having kept mango-blossom upon urn, At path's edge seated had I been. The psychic ocean through string of waves, Having mused on You, dancing it promenades. Mind's peacock, at the sky does it gaze; A dark cloud in order to see.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

It's all You

(3776) Priyatama amar ghare

Dearest, at my place of dwelling, Please arrive, making light replete. Kindly beam Your honeyed smile, Mind-bewitching, with lips sweet. I want not to obtain anything; I just want to donate unto Thee... Through Your cadence and music mode to get frenzied, By Your presence in a hundred streams. I have gone on coveting more than sufficient; I have run behind phantasmic mirages. High and low having assessed, All my life have I done wrongly.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

It takes time

(3775) Juga juga dhare ceyechi tomare

For many ages I have wanted Thee; After long, I received. What is Your play divine, hard realized; In darkness, it had kept me. I had thought: Whole day from morning, By own strength, deeds I'll keep doing. You informed me at the noontime: Even grass moves by mercy. Earth goes on spinning round by kindness Thine; Six seasons[1] arrive, from clouds water they yield. The sky and air blanket with gist of moonlight, Ambrosia of consciousness replete. Action and knowledge, direction they hide; But in the dust of Your feet they make lie. On a litter of nectar does love glide; Honey gets the bee.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Because it is His blessing

(3774) Magheri shese vasanta ese

At Magha's end, having come the spring, It went on telling me: "Rise, friend; today move in company mine!" And through warm air, who does make sound, Rousing and blithesome: "Please arrive... Him we hold in mind." Neath fresh greenery has gotten lost the dry-leaf bunch; In forest-abode has smiled the tender palash. This environment, love's ecstasy, One decorates Him with floral attire. Filled with beauty is the world outside; In outright grief why will you bide? Everyone gleeful, lost in laughter, That Season King[1] we greet thereby. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Between Him and me...

(3773) Dhyaneri suvase cidakashe

At the fragrance of my meditation upon sky of psyche, The wave that awakened, Who will impede it; who will mislead! My mental peacock and the heavens hazy, Having viewed one another, they had frolicked, Fixedly and mist-free? None else knows, but both of us, we cognize... No one I told; and alike, He did not vocalize... Bright white, that great delight, He vanquished me, He vanquished me. Let none accept, but heed do I... The slight touch of intuition mine... Inside my sleeping mind, clandestinely, Love He let be stirred with a sense thrilling. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I don't mind

(3772) Prabhu tomar amar pratham dekha

Lord, our first meet, Yours and mine, It was on what seashore? I've forgot lunar day, time of month; I've forgotten vision's cost. Fondness was inside the mind; Thereby You made replete. By light of dawn You had appeared, Letting fall dew-washed feet, Like reddish glow amid abalone, 'Pon a pearl's splendid beauty. You wished to go, quitting me, Like a colored flambeau of gloaming. In mind I've kept, did not grant leave, Having grasped eternity. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
