Sweetly entangled

(3209)  Tumi je amar praneri priyatama

You are my heart's dearest darling–
In travail's agony, in mood, in thought,
The emerald in my casket of psyche.

In the rose are You, and I find You in the thorn;
Ever I go on seeing You in the floral garden.
Amid buds, You are in a sweet and charming attire,
With each breath like a scented breeze.

Naught have I without You, Love;
Your discernment do I find, Yourself having sought.
With a thrill unworldly at every trice,
In all things contemplated peerless are You only.

You have Your way with me

(3208)  Jadio nahi ele katha nahi rakhile

Although You did not arrive, did not honor plight,
Even then I hold dear.
In happiness, never I got proximate;
In sorrow, Lord, You kept not distant.
A sweet solace You've provided;
You have smiled tenderly.

You belong to everybody, You did tell;
No one of this world is alone or helpless.
Never ignoring, You go off;
Into ear You sing love songs,
Sitting amid inmost feelings.

In a myrtle garden of my mind,
You've resided on the sly.
To eyes You did not surrender;
But the star of eyes You have been,
Mental sky brightening.

Dancing with a stranger

(3207)  Tomay ami nahi jani

With You I am not acquainted;
Nonetheless, Yourself I do cherish.
With Your name, with songs Thine,
In Your rhythm and tune I drift.

Beginningless and endless is Your sport;
Your conduct touches heart of everyone.
On a dark path, on stormy nights,
Ridding fear, confidence You give.

Without You I cannot exist;
With the sound of Your lute life I fill.
Mid the mind, in captivating attire,
Day and night, dancing You persist.

By Your grace I aspire

(3206)  Tomay ami bujhi priya akhanda jiivane

Throughout life, my Darling, Yourself I conceive
From the light-beams' overflying
The sky-touched, hell-washed sounds of my psyche.

What I am unable to imagine, in You that's intrinsic–
All things wanted or unwanted bursting from covering
On chasing Bright, hearing and pondering Your glory.

You are nearer than near, in each pore, amid psyche–
In all thinking, in all deeds, privately in memory,
In tranquil nest, on calm seas, and neath restless breeze.

Only love can satisfy

(3205)  Asa ar jaoya caoya ar paoya, eder niyei kanda hasa

Coming and going, craving and obtaining,
Tears and laughter are only with these.
Whether staying forgot or retained in memory,
Love is like a gem's shining beauty.

Upon sun-god's banner does the ray arrive,
With evening's zephyr does the satisfaction rise,
Mid lunar splendor does the sweetness smile;
Into cogitation, hope they alone bring.

You are great and noble, I am puny and base;
Your path having taken, to You alone homage I pay;
Never pausing, onward am I moving always
To assuage the desert thirst of psyche.

Lord, please show Your face

(3204)  Kalo jaladhir belate base

Seated on the shore of ebon sea,
Moments I keep counting, Lord.
Recalling You, just Yourself remembering,
Good times and bad ones mingle with the Supreme;
Nevertheless with honey I fill bosom,
For the sake of You only, just for Thee.

Life's pollen goes on flying far away,
Upon sky-blue unto a certain unknown place.
It knows no obstruction, fatigue it does not heed;
Bounding over difficulties.

Long back why have You dispatched as this same being;
Under some intoxicant, I don't know a thing.
Please let me be told what it is You wish,
Gently whispering in ears.

Everything good in me

(3203)  Juge juge ami cahiya gechi

I have gone on yearning ages after ages
To keep You at the core of my psyche,
At the core of my psyche...
On my eyes and in deeps of reverie,
To see You in a raiment fascinating.

You are moon and mountain, Love,
Praiseworthy and glorified, fit to be welcomed.
Please take and make me mentally felicitous
In all of my deeds.

Seeking refuge, I am praying for kindness;
You're the font of compassion, always benevolent.
Please remove all the mind's crude attachment;
Like Your ankle-bells, let existence ring.
