Never stop waiting, never stop gazing

(151)  Esechile tumi prabhu

Lord, You had appeared,
Coming from gloom's other bank.
For Your sake I had been waiting,
Age after age, both night and day.

So many lunar days have passed–
So many stars, dropped and detached.
In spite of that, I remained vigilant,
Watching Your arrival-path.

Filling all hopes mine with light,
One sweet night You had arrived.

Breaking free

(150)  Bal dao more bal dao

Give me strength, please give force;
All binding chains I would break off.
Please give tunes, more tunes afford,
That I may ever sing Your song.

Gaining or not gaining hope or despondency,
May I never enmesh psyche
Mid the general activity.
Having given a slight jerk,
Let me get merged in Your work.
Oh yes, I keep merging...
Having given a slight jerk, I want to keep merging...
In work of Yours exclusively, I want to keep merging.
Having given a slight jerk,
Let me get merged in Your work.

In the daily grind so tiresome,
Mind never wants to wind up or get stuck...
It wants to look around with nectar of melody,
On the earth and in one hundred streams.
It wants to look around...
With nectar of melody, it wants to look around...
On the earth it wants to look around...
In one hundred streams it wants to look around.
It wants to look around with nectar of melody,
On the earth and in one hundred streams.

Give me strength, please give force;
I would shatter all mental impressions.
Please give tunes, more tunes afford,
That I may ever sing Your song.
Give me strength, please give force;
Please give tunes, more tunes afford.

Beyond time and space

(149)  Madhura svapane maneri gahane

In sweet reverie, in my psychic deeps,
I have seen You frequently.
At my heart's abode, with anklets enchanting,
Ripples You did make in a hundred streams.

To Your melody the river flows;
At Your tinkling sound, stares the doe.
On Your touch, each molecule and atom,
They communicate in unison.
Oh, such words they utter...
As one, oh, such words they utter...
Upon touch, every molecule and atom
Communicates in unison.

Mind keeps on ignoring time and space;
Beyond time and space everyone makes haste.
Every anxiety and every thing seductive...
Those who wish to attain You, their all is forsaken...
To attain, yes, those who wish...
Yes, those who wish to attain You, their all is forsaken...
Every anxiety and every thing seductive...
Those who wish to attain You, their all is forsaken.

In sweet reverie,
In sweet reverie, in my psychic deeps,
I have found You in a hundred streams,
In sweet reverie.

Beyond Your light

(148)  Alor pare alori dheu

Beyond the light is a wave of Divine Light;
In light the world, it is full.
You filled up the sea of light;
In Your light the heart is full.

I am the wee flame of a lantern;
The note on my brow, lamp-black.
Nonetheless, in love with You I am;
I have become rapt.
Oh, I have been in love;
Only You, oh I have loved...
Though just a wee flame, oh I have loved;
Only You I am loving, rapt I have become.
My understanding, it is nothing;
My awareness, it is nothing...
Of all acumen and wisdom,
You were the last word.
That bit only, I conceive;
That bit only, I perceive.

The wee flame, by Your light it is defeated;
In Your Infiniteness, I have stayed replete.
Oh, I am getting filled,
In Your Infiniteness, oh I'm getting filled...
In Your Infiniteness, I have been a flame defeated;
Oh, I'm getting filled;
In Your Infiniteness, oh I'm getting filled.

Beyond the light is a wave of Divine Light;
In light the universe is full.
Beyond the light...

Swept away by His flow

(147)  Alo jhalamala madhura nishiithe

Glittering at sweet midnight,
You had come into my mind;
You'd arrived for a trice
In mind's timeless paradise.
Lo, You had arrived;
Oh yes, for a trice You had arrived;
In mind's paradise, lo, You'd arrived.

In the flowers is Your sweetness;
In great sea, Your majesty.
In the far azure is Your glory;
In as many lives, it is floating.
Oh, it is floating...
Floral sweetness, oh, it is floating;
Azure's glory, oh, it is floating;
Oh it is floating.
All my molecules and atoms, lo, they were bewitched;
My every limb, oh it weeps for every part of it;
Each molecule and atom mine, oh, it is bewitched.

Life's whole existence drifts in His direction;
Every heart-penchant races per His attraction...
Oh yes, racing it does go.
Every heart-penchant, racing it does go;
Life's whole existence, racing it does go...
Oh yes, racing it does go.

Glittering at sweet midnight,
You had come into my mind;
Jogging cradle, You'd arrived
In mind's timeless paradise.

My Lord, my love

(146)  Ajuta chande esechile tumi

With rhythms myriad, come You had,
To dance and dance, laugh and laugh,
Your tune resonating with heart's concept,
And with anklet-jingle upon each footstep.

With tune's resonance, come You had;
With heart's concept, come You had;
With anklet-jingle, come You had.
Lo, You had been coming;
With tune resonating, lo, You had been coming;
With heart's concept, lo, You had been coming;
With anklet-jingle, lo, You had been coming.
With tune resonating to heart's concept, You had been coming;
With heart's concept in anklet-jingle, You had been coming.

Had I been a flower, and I bloom on branch of tree,
You, being fragrance, please stay and make replete.
If, sky being distant, I unfold,
You, having been the color blue, please stay and enclose.
Oh do remain encompassing;
Having been the color blue, oh You stay encompassing.
If, sky being distant, I unfold,
You, having been the color blue, please stay and enclose.
Oh do remain encompassing;
Having been the color blue, oh You stay encompassing.
For me, on all sides, oh You stay encompassing.

With rhythms myriad,
With rhythms myriad, come You had,
To dance and dance, laugh and laugh.

Shine Your light on me

(145)  Dur niilakashe dakhina vatase

In southern wind, in distant sky,
In floral scent, in mind's springtime,
It's You psyche ever wants to reach
In the distant sky.

On account of Thee, heart overflowing
Constantly goes off racing...
Oh, it goes racing
In Your direction, oh it goes racing.

In my mind's northeastern corner,
Countless clouds had gathered...
In Your golden light, with smile unblemished,
All of them, whereto did they vanish?
Oh where did they go...
Those piled-up clouds, oh where did they go...
Oh where did they go?
In Your golden light, with smile unblemished,
All of them, whereto did they vanish?

On this crimson dawn, light-dripping morning,
Please make bright my psyche.
All my shame remove,
All my fear remove,
All narrow-mindedness remove...
Oh please remove...
All my narrow-mindedness, please do remove,
On this crimson dawn, light-dripping morning,
Please make bright my psyche.

In southern wind, in distant sky,
It's You psyche ever wants to reach...
My mind ever wants to reach...
In the distant sky.
