To Earth please bring peace

(2219)  Gan geye jai tomake shonai, jiiver dukher katha

A song I keep singing, I sing it to You,
A living being's doleful tale.
Whether You pay heed or not, what can I do?
I go on conveying the angst.

Light is there upon Earth, on mind there is none;
Kindle light in the mind, oh Lord be so gracious;
Hey the Deity, only this is my prayer.

The cosmos You have built with benign imagination;
Supply peace to everyone under Your protection.
Why this civil war, this game of ducks-and-drakes;
Please issue a nectar-like communique.

Common cause

(2218)  Aloker e utsave eso sabe

To this festival of light please come everyone;
The world I awaken with cognition's splendor.
In this great war today, together work is done.

No person is anybody's enemy;
Absent understanding, remote is even the near.
So humankind may realize what is its identity,
For that only, I arrange this celebration.

I won't stay back, I won't stare at times gone by;
And none will I permit to stay left behind.
Together with everyone, this is our enterprise:
This light will obliterate aggregated languor.

Mercy please

(2217)  Asibe kabe priya tumi

Beloved, when will You arrive
My dark heart within!
As much as I kindle light,
It dies out, struck by wind.

A lot of seasons came and went,
Meteors aplenty fell.
Many a loved one left,
Forever dismissed.

Taking pity, You please come;
Stay no longer distant.
Day and night tears fall
For Your sake at a home barren.

Have I been duped?

(2216)  Kata dekechi kata kendechi

So much have I called, so much have I wailed;
But close came You not, hey my Darling.
Tales I've told, misery I've proclaimed;
At some stage, the night's turned to morning.

With me has stayed just one complaint;
You are mine, but Your touch I do not find.
You are so remote, on far shore of some ocean;
With a string of flowers, how do I bind Thee?

Master, make no more deception playful;
To compete with You, am I ever able?
I simply love– for Your sake I weep, I laugh;
Dazzled I remain in contemplation of Thee.

We are one

(2215)  Tomay ami bhalabasi, cai na kona pratidan

I am in love with You;
In return, I want nothing.
Your smile and sweet flute,
My life they keep replete.

You stay at mind's interior,
And You remain through all my works.
When like clothing You preserve,
Hey Great One, You look closely.

I know I'm not at all solitary;
You indeed are a pal for eternity.
To propel a carriage-wheel,
A tug, hey Driver, You are giving,
Your song in my larynx.

My light in darkness

(2214)  Tomar pathe jete jete

On Your path to proceed, to proceed,
Before eyes why does fog appear?
More light, ignite more light
To remove all amassed ebony.

Hey Lord of Luster, oh Polestar,
Show the path to one who's lost.
I lose myself in Your meditation;
In You my sense of 'I' gets absorbed.

With Your mantra Earth You wake from sleep;
Please take and make me Your machine.
That I may think only of Thee,
Your work done by my hand kindly receive.

It could be so fine

(2213)  Bhorer alo laglo bhalo

Good felt the light of dawn,
Painted upon eastern sky.
At such time, hey Lord of Song,
Were You to stay beside...

Twixt You and me this acquaintance,
Ceaseless and full of sweetness...
You exist, I too exist,
With opportunity that never dies.

To me please come still more nigh;
There is honey packing mind.
Due to You full is a guy,
Gushing with delight.
