Perhaps He knows this

(2252)  Ekii abhinava bhalabasa

Such a love unprecedented!
What by one hand You did give,
By other hand You took with,
Adrift in guise of nectar-sweetness.

When pondering the enigma,
I see my all You apprehended.
And the secrecy did not persist;
It got mixed with Your effulgence.

Everyone's last yearning deepest,
You grasp all of life's distress.
Having remained omni-pervasive,
Please view everything, crying and laughter.

I cannot forget Thee

(2251)  Tomay bhule thaka kena nahi jay

Staying oblivious to You, why it doesn't succeed:
When I see black, closing eyes,
On that black You cascade light,
And that light cradles me.

As much as I think light-rays I'll not see...
To mind Yourself I will not bring...
Blindness, the self-same conceit,
It makes me still more worried.

I keep hearing You reside within mind...
Upon the psychic lotus You sketch a smile...
Is that grin's rising on light's beauty why
Aswoon it goes on mirror of inmost psyche?

I won't be deterred or dispirited

(2250)  Ami tomay khunjechi giriguhay

Yourself I have sought in mountain caves;
I've looked into molecules, each and every.
Always seeking, tired I've become, Lord;
At a distance You have wished to keep.

My every yearning, fulfilled will it be–
All my aspiration, it will be complete–
When Yourself I will get, passionately,
In my existential feeling.

Why You remain hidden, I don't understand;
How You stay making cry, also that's hard to grasp.
Yet I'll go on seeking– only through seeking will I find–
Catching You, it must yield.

No question about it

(2249)  Phagun elo mane na janiye

Springtime entered mind without warning,
With blooms the mind's garden decorating...
Mid a parched and withered psyche,
Having sketched a portrait juicy.

On the branch, there had been no flower;
There had been no leaf or bud either.
To it having brought green leaves,
You infused a floral beauty.

There had been no honey in the cogitation;
There had been no moon on the firmament.
But hey, that same everlasting Lover,
Having strayed, with those too You appeared.

Let me make amends

(2248)  Tomare ceyechi sakal madhurii diye

Affording all my sweetness I have asked for Thee,
Like a light-strewing moon the earth entreats.
I don't know why You came not; couldn't You see?
Or perhaps You'd come– I looked not within psyche.

Constantly on the outside I've been searching;
I did not take notice of what's inside of me.
You have gone away again, is it for that reason:
Maybe a pain stings from lack of hospitality?

This time, I will look amid my deeps;
I will see the formless glory that is king.
Yourself I will dress in newer clothing,
With my floral guise in spring.

What a fool am I

(2247)  Priitir dharay tumi ele

You arrived upon love's stream,
In my mind, oh, in my psyche.
I could not appreciate
At the moment You appeared.

In Your presence, I wished nothing;
I did not beg You to stay in psyche.
That You grant a boon I'd craved:
Toward my Aim to proceed.

You arrived in shape complete
Mid the scented resin of my psyche.
You had told that You remain
With everybody secretly.

With no anticipation

(2246)  Tumi path bhule jadi ele

When having strayed, then You appeared–
Came You not intentionally,
You did not come, You did not reach.
I cannot make invitation
When You came by inattention, notwithstanding.

I don't own a throne golden
Or a chair cloaked in silk from China.
The way having decorated with a rice-paint holy,
I retained no faith in the case You came mistakenly.

In this my hut, there's no profusion;
Ostentatious riches too, there are none.
Only with sweetness is the mind replete...
You did come, my dearth of hope ignoring.
