Oh to make happy

(3061)  Jege basechilum

Awake had I waited...
For Your sake, Lord, on account of Thee,
A lantern I had lit
At gloomy depths of my psyche.

Many an age arrived and left;
Many lifetimes ended.
Your kindness did not happen;
You came not, Lord, to my dwelling.

Many white jessamines fell;
Many shephalii wilted.
Crying, so much moonlight went
With lament in both Fall and Spring.

Decidedly

(3060)  Tomay ami ceye gechi

Observing You, on have I gone,
Within my mind, in my own psyche.
So I find no seat abroad;
I want to preserve privately.

You'll come down to dust of earth;
This thing, how shall I endure!
To rosy feet, to tender feet,
In which life will I render grief!

In my mind is a gold chair,
Jewel-adorned for Your sake.
Smiling You'll come, decked take seat,
Making my eyes highly pleased.

A winsome liberation

(3059)  Tomare ceyechi mor kache kache

Yourself I have craved so very nigh
At this festival of light...
Music full of tune and rhyme
With this lifetime's wine.

In the universe none is praiseworthy as You;
So I keep saying: "beyond and free from attribute".
We obtain the aggregate of all virtues
By the realization only Thine.

We don't find compassion like unto You;
Ever You continue playing mercy's lute.
In the sky of mind we gain liberty and final rescue
Upon Mohan's^[1] coming into sight.

Must I ask You to remember me?

(3058)  Je gan tumi geye gele

The song that You kept singing,
On just its echo lingering,
Far away do I go floating.
The lamp You had been igniting,
Its flame shines through ages aplenty.

You are the Deity, Agent of Compassion;
Except for You I've no other Savior.
Come-and-go is by Your will, Director;
You know, meticulously.

From the Creation's first dawning,
Pervasively, ever You accompany.
Upon Your stream I've kept floating;
May You not forget me.

Despite the fact You're always with me

(3057)  Andhare tumi ele

You entered the darkness,
Infusing effulgence.
Far away went the fatigue;
The gloom withdrew in a moment.

The clouds that accumulated,
Life they had been veiling.
Your sweetness-vehemence,
You set it a-sailing.
Making me free from burden,
To me You did pull adjacent.

Lord, You've remained along;
Never unaccompanied is there one.
And yet I've wept, even of this conscious;
Those tears shed, today You have made forget.

Chasing the Limitless

(3056)  Maner mayur ure jay

The mental peacock, it goes flying;
It goes, it moves, it proceeds.
It knows not any blockade;
No heed to taboo does it pay.
It dances on, spreading tail,
To which uncharted sphere.

Crossing hills, roads, and waterways,
Leaping over wide, bare, open space,
To groves of kans grass giving sway,
It runs, it hies, it speeds.

My Beloved, worthy aim of musing mine,
The aggregate of every attribute combined,
You are the gem of everybody's eye;
All crave, they pine, they long for Thee.

Long ago why did You entice me?

(3055)  Ajana pathik ek esechilo

One Unknown Pilgrim, He had come,
Giving mind a swing.
With lips He'd beamed a sweet grin;
The reason not briefed.

Over an age I'd waited, watching street;
Much belated You fulfilled my longing.
So much moonlight has transpired weeping
In a heart struck by grief.

Blooms have dropped, full of honeyed scent;
Many a world has danced in love's excitement.
Whereto have they gotten lost at present,
Having sung a song to me?
