Today You are both Love and Lover mine



(2259)  Apan tumi priya tumi

You are dear, You are kin;
You are every mind's refulgence.
You know how to cherish
Even better than the best;
You are even better than the best.

The Creation, when it was unmanifest,
Good and bad would not have been.
Then You were entirely solitary
Ebony time-transcendent;
You had been the timeless darkness.

If You wish the world may come,
Brimming with scent, taste, and form.
By lightrays of vitality decanting,
With life a swell You stirred,
In Your existence a surge You awakened.

In light of Your greatness



(2258)  Kotha theke ele

You arrived from where,
And why oh why You disappeared...
Please tell me.
I know naught,
But You know all
Regarding life worldly.

Days of mine come and retire;
They don't eye anyone's side...
Sometimes make smile, sometimes make cry
In abundance, profusely.

You alone are time-transcendent,
Beyond grief and happiness...
And so that's why to feet of Yours
Falls respectful greeting.

Says the Lord



(2257)  Nutan usay ajike

On a new dawn today,
Forget all bygone stories.
Slough decayed, come relinquishing;
Sing a song in the new melody.

Crooked and frothy is the eddy of infatuation;
It had kept you circling dogmatic thought.
With thunder's hand and firm conviction,
Shatter that courageously.

With new blooms a park I'm building;
Life I am infusing with new honey.
Having brought the ever-new into being,
Fill you the earth with green and tender leaves.

Why did You not arrive?



(2256)  Asar katha chilo anek age

There was talk of Your advent much before;
You did not show up, why did You not appear?
Maybe, I was teary with affection;
But no word did You say, why did You not speak?

The hours pass by in Your meditation,
The day goes away with Your name and song...
I run around in Your constant recollection;
But You did not give in, why did You not yield?

You are the ruby at mood's shrine,
Your radiant molecule, for a while
You emanate, hey the One Dearer than Life;
In my dark psyche, there is naught forbidding!

Even if I wanted to



(2255)  Kena tumi ele, mor manamainjusay

Why did You appear
In the casket of my mind?
You came silently, unseen by everybody;
Hard to fathom is Your game divine.

At each instant Your sport
Is unique in form and flavor.
This sense of variation,
A trace of language it fails to find.

I've understood why You are known as playful;
I have gone swimming in the ocean of liila.
Myself I have lost within the sweetness;
Thinking outside of You, it does not arise.

When and where humans unite



(2254)  Eso tumi eso eso, manavatar ei tiirthaniire

Come you, come do arrive,
At this holy journey's end, the cozy nest of humanity.
We have wanted you wholeheartedly,
At each hour, waking or asleep.

The gloom that was in human psyche,
May it be far removed upon your coming.
Every instant incite please
New thinking at this fresh love-meeting.

Sleep broken, we all rise awakened;
About life's bounty we've not any dread.
With throats loud and clear, we proceed, giving a yell:
Oh human brethren, to one encampment report please.

When His light arrives



(2253)  Alo eseche ghum bheungeche

Light has arrived, slumber it has shattered;
Tint has been applied on the floral garden.
A lotus bud that was asleep,
With honey overflowing she's become.

At every home is color's invitation,
Existential pulse by the hour, by the moment.
Layer after layer, vitality's arrival
Has risen filling sky and wind.

No more will be shedding tears in darkness;
Bitterness in speech won't persist.
Inspiration, the language of love will give;
This radiance is what it has created.
