Call and response

(83)  Cira nutaner ahvane

On summons by the ever new, My will rushes, dancing, Toward yonder blue. Today my song is only the onward march— My life is only that alluring invitation. Rather than lag behind, sitting idle, I seek the one who entices me. My mind in cosmic mind, my life in cosmic life— They fuse into a single tune.

Tremors of bliss

(82)  Tumi esecho prane esecho

You have come— You have come into my life. Illuminating the world, You have come into my life. The sound of your ankle bells penetrated my heart's core. Oh, it obliterated all my sorrow. Be with me, stay with me. Thrilling me with sweet tremors of bliss, stay with me. Your sweet smile has made my heart overflowing And divested me of everything else.

Divine imagination

(81)  Svapner ghore din cale jay

In a dreamlike trance, the day passes;
Yet ever moving on is the rule.

The day passes and is not seen again;
To not see it again is the rule.

Words once spoken, pains once suffered,
Are lost in the infinite.
Day after day passes.

Those whose birth was long ago,
Their history is still more ancient.
On the surreal strings of heart's lyre,
They remain twined in melody.
Those who are lost to us
Live on in Your imagination. Sarkarverse article

The one I love

(80)  Svapane esecho anandaghana tumi

In dream You have come, profoundly pleasing.
You are the delight of all.

In the graceful heavens, You mingle with life divine.
You are allure beyond form yet incomparably beautiful.

In Your eyes there is love; at Your feet, salvation.
You are the sourceless source from which ambrosia flows.

Knowingly or unknowingly, I love only one being.
The one I love is boundless. Sarkarverse article

A world with love

(79)  Svapanera chonya lege

By the touch of Your dream,
My life gained new dynamism.

My song echoes hope;
My melody beats out the words:
Love is limitless.

Under the spell of Your dream,
My heart was filled with sweetness.

Amid tunes surging with rhythm,
Amid blooms frantic with fragrance,
One who was lost found the polestar.

Glazed with the sweetness of Your dream,
The world has got new momentum.

In all directions the light is dazzling;
Whatever I see, it bodes well.
All atoms and molecules are animated;
My finest feelings are satiated—
Earth is full of bliss. Sarkarverse article

My tender Child

(78)  Svapane se esechilo

In a dream He came;
In that same dream He left.
Without even speaking, He left;
Without even being invited, He came.

In the private corner of my heart,
He silently took His seat.
With His own hand He strummed
A tune on my lyre.

Raising His eyes toward my face,
He wanted to say something.
I don't know why He felt hurt—
Without even giving notice, He left. Sarkarverse article

Recognized and realized

(77)  Svapane tare cinechi

In dream I have recognized Him.
In a dream, on a moonlit night,
With a dim lamp in hand,
I floated on the current of melody
And found new life.
In dream I have seen Him—
I have seen Him, oh I have seen Him.

With a flood of life, He fills the universe.
With His sweet smile, He scatters pearls.
In dance, in song, in tones of a lyre,
In the heady aroma of a breeze,
With the touch of His life, my life is fortified;
With His new light, I am inspired.
In dream I have realized Him—
I have realized Him, oh I have realized Him. Sarkarverse article
