At long last I see the shore

(3492) Alor deshe avashese

To the land of light at last,
By Your mercy, Darling, am I moving.
With neglect, a watch^[1] has passed;
Years have gone, Him I lost from memory.

With beginningless and endless divine play
You make everybody dance to the cosmic sway.
By Your kindness, by Your grace,
The shore, finally all go and receive.

Eternally You're the One ancient,
The unseen moon, the formless gem.
In waters ebon at ocean's deep strata,
You had been hidden with a fest of beauty.

Enough of hell

(3491) Alakar alo bhuloke dhalo

Upon Earth You pour the light of heaven;
By infusing luster providential You make ascend.
Innumerable people in the whole world
You overwhelm for the sake of this kindness.

For so long has gone on the new-moon night;
Crookedly a black owl^[1] has smiled.
Yourself having come, Dear, please let light be ignited;
Move, taking me on the path of profound knowledge.

With this full moon, You're the moon singular;
Just lamplight, the rest are stars.
Twixt the moon and glowworm, exchange is nectar;
It goes on making affection swell.

Some things can't remain concealed

(3490) Acena ajana pathik

The Unfamiliar, Unknown Traveler,
Amid psyche You'd arrived.
Having loved, smiling sweetly,
You doffed mask in glamorous clothing.

To Your liila there's no equal;
You promenade, rambling over lands all.
Age after age from a place behind-the-scenes,
At heart-core plays Your pipe of reed.

Eternally, Vrndavan's bosom friend,
None is ever alone or helpless.
Along with everyone pervasively,^[1]
Your love dances in prosody.

Yourself alone I salute

(3489) Tomar bandhan priitispandan

Your loving vibration, Your binding,
It is like my song's coronation.
Name unknown, time unminding,
Is a dense and steadfast splendor.

With Your name I go forth,
Every time that I came down on the course.
With a melody unbound, rhythm-filled it was
In a fight, intense and disastrous.

Oh the Unfamiliar, Unknown Guest,
Your practice is difficult to comprehend.
Hence my submission I profess
To the One utterly beyond Cognition.

To be with Thee

(3488) Ami genthechi malatiimala

A garland of malatii have I threaded;
Arrayed is the wicker basket.^[1]
At the feast of life with hope's wine,
My burning pain I've forgotten.

Wherever I look, except for You naught is there;
Alas, in agony, I don't manage to cling.
But in my whole universe, on azure of sky,
I realize: lavished is Your fondness.

On a golden mountain peak are You, my Darling.
I am dropped down inside a cavern very deep...
Having been brightened by Your light-beams,
On account of You become restless.

Only Thee

(3487) Tomay dhare rakhite cai

Yourself would I keep on holding
In the jeweled box of psyche,
In the jeweled box of psyche...
Mine having made in my mind,
All the time, day and night.

I've no splendid education;
I'm not famous or illustrious.
There is just a song of love,
Which to You I want to sing.

Everything is at Your feet;
In my heart let stay nothing.
Your foot-dust applying,
I will make myself clean.

Our tryst is overdue

(3486) Shuktara kal shuniye geche

Evening time has gone on telling:
At dawn are You coming, Love.
E'en before seeing, welcome I proclaim;
E'en before coming, take my reverent salutation.

Flowers, they are all requesting;
Petals dance with honey.
They've ignored joy and grief,
Just thinking 'bout You, hey Esteemed One.

Calling, she is rising, a bird of daybreak;
Melody has she practiced, all night awake.
Of love songs nothing pending does remain;
Please brighten mind with crimson color.
