Dancing with the Supreme

(1775)  Prabhu amar priya amar, alok dharay spandita

My Lord, my Adored,
Throbbing in a stream imperceptible,
Unseen are Your manners and customs;
Resounding is the boundless love.

Amid the wellspring of effulgence
Dances a heart effusive.
Decked in flowers of affection,
Its whole body is embellished.

You sense distress and eagerness,
Heart's ballad of sport ultimate.
Bewilderment that's full of rhythm,
In Your music only it's depicted.

Ever He is with me

(1774)  Acho ashrudharay mishe

Mixed with the flow of tears are You;
Having smiled, You are in the bloom.
Oh my Wellwisher, love I do lavish
With extract of Your ambrosia.

That you are mine, so much my own,
By Your grace today, I came to know.
In the midst of heart, please come close...
Is there any obstacle... no one will know!

Birth after birth has come;
How many deaths nectar has brought!
Around You is my peregrination,
Fruitful now in form and flavor.

My all-in-all, my everything

(1773)  Kon alasa prahare jadi bhavo more

If You should think about me in an hour of leisure,
Please just keep in mind that I am Yours.
Wrapped inside a hundred flaws, still I am love-coated;
Please don't toss me aside, thinking of the burden.

At Your will I come and leave;
But for You, for me there is nobody.
Even if You forgot me, I desire You only;
Without You there's no way at all for me.

Polestar of the wayward pilgrim,
Even at darkest night, a stream of effulgence...
In a parched throat, You're a flow of water,
A fountain of delight, essence of ambrosia.

It's a new age

(1772)  Aruner alo dhele diye gelo

You went, having poured the light of morning sun,
A new and vibrant pulsation.
Insensate, deep asleep, had been those living;
But they beheld, both their eyes opening.

Not staying abed, rise up immediately;
Your sphere of action is ready.
This historic battlefield arrives repeatedly
Every minute throughout existence.

There is no fear or bondage of blind attachment,
Nor any looking behind or aimless speculation.
March ahead, having forgot lamentation,
Each moment on the path colored crimson.

Solace and hope at times of sorrow

(1771)  Sudurer ahvane

With invitation from a remote place
With many songs, Who are You that came?
You demanded not a thing whatsoever;
Lyrics You made heard in whispers.

Rapidly and constantly, dew has dropped upon the grass;
Mind has got excited by night-jasmine's fragrance.
On the smiling kush-kash, Nature has danced,
Talkative in rhythm each and every instant.

When in low spirits, with light dressed in crimson,
Circled by planets and stars, the Zodiac amid,
Who are You that arrived, unperturbed and uninvited?
At a paradise in mind, embrace You granted.

Where is the quid pro quo?

(1770)  Kena bhalabaso amare

Why do You love me?
I don't know, oh, I don't know.
Always Your treasury's allocation I go on taking;
And yet, in spite that, search for You I don't.

At home and abroad, where I stay is Yours only;
I walk on just Your path, I tell only Your story.
Your song I keep singing,
Yet I get not intimate with Thee.

You provide everything; not a thing do I give.
I receive all things; nothing You accept.
A lamp You keep bearing; I don't light a match;
If You be absent, I do not exist.

Such an enigma

(1769)  Ekii prahelika ekii kuhelika

Such a riddle, such a mist...
You're adjacent, but embrace You haven't granted;
Why is love covered with darkness?

Light's wellspring is lost inside Infinity;
Tears are filled with a veena's humming.
Please come closer still; smash all obstacles that are there;
The streaks of sadness, kindly delete.

I love, and I know You also love;
You recognize me; I have offered You my core.
Please smile within psyche, kissing the bud of my heart,
Lonesome, oh so lonesome.
