Transcendent One

(3256)  Nutan usay se esechilo

With a new dawn, He had come;
To a distant light He floated off.
Heart's precious gem He'd woken up;
Where did He hide, making dark?

Why does He arrive, oh why He leaves;
In cadence He makes laugh, rhythmically He makes weep.
Smiling and crying's, emerald and ruby's,
Memories He traced from behind a curtain.

In this same springtime floral beauty,
Even when granting embrace, He does not yield.
In the month of Falgun with fire of bastard teak,
He drove crazy by color's infatuation.

Love hurts

(3255)  Tumi jadi nahi ele, kiser tare e mala rakha

In the event You did not come,
For what is this garland kept!
When light of moon did not appear,
Useless are a water-lily's sugar-coated promises.

Alas, a partridge on the new-moon night,
With vain hope does she gaze toward sky.
Hey my everlasting Darling,
Why by dark clouds are You hidden?

You know the unspoken words of psyche,
The unattained, aggregate agony.
If You want to reject a feeling,
Dreading what, in hiding dwelt?

I am astonished

(3254)  Bhalabese je esechilo

Having loved, the One Who had come,
Why far off did He withdraw...
Who had smiled with the light of dawn,
He blended into evening's ebon.

Let me be told, oh Callous One,
Why on a bloom thorns You make worn...
At break of day the flower had blossomed;
Under ferocious heat, it dried up.

With the heart, what's this Your game divine;
You don't care for good or bad, right or wrong time.
As You prefer I laugh, I cry;
You move not per my volition.

If not for Thee

(3253)  Indradhanute ruper dalite

On the rainbow like a basket of beauty,
When first You had appeared,
There'd been no animal, creeper, or shrub;
There had been no life with feelings.

Then, sun had been wakened, laying waste to ignorance;
There'd become an ocean, waves in abundance.
Lightning's smile through clouds of ebon
On the first firmament of that day was there.

Prehistoric times have disappeared;
Been created has a new history.
The world's been filled with melodies rippling,
With songs in Your praise by the birds and human beings.

Have mercy

(3252)  Tandra jakhan bhara chilo cokhe

When drowsiness on eyes had been replete,
Lord, You had been in my vicinity.
Eyes opened, lo I see You did leave;
Only just an anklet-sound rings.

From a far, nebula heavenly,
Persistently a melodic jingling,
I hear it come floating; with eyes unblinking,
Hearing's impulse dances upon psyche.

Such cosmic play is Thine, a game with my heart:
Just a single inattention of atomic cognition!
With a wreath from floral garden I would adorn
Mind's Charming One in the month of spring.

Is it a dream or reality?

(3251)  Nisha halo bhor svapnera ghor

Night became morning, a dreamy illusion:
Mine, it's got excised today.
The night had been veiled by blind infatuation;
Boundless ignorance had been without bank.

By mist the Polaris, it too had been concealed;
A tempest had blown with furious velocity.
I had been calling You anxiously,
The darkness gloomy to evade.

Thorns had filled the sandal grove;
Decline had quenched aesthetics also.
Wallowed in falsehood had been the marrow;
I received Your causeless grace.

Just You I have to thank

(3250)  Tomake peyechi maneri niipe ami

At the kadam tree of my mind, Yourself have I received;
With kadam in full blossom and the bee of psyche mine,
I traipse about, the laughing pollen kissing.

What had been beyond my expectation,
In the realm of sensation with unspoken tongue,
That sweet son of Nanda, the bright harvest moon,
You rescued the bud of my psyche.

Naught is obscure to You: name, form, or special traits;
And hence I realize You are everything I crave.
By Your kindness, by Your unearned grace,
I will move along light's journeyway unhalting.
