Please come back

(3434) Alake aloke bhuloke dyuloke

In cirrus with light, upon earth and heaven's region,
For Him I search in form's splendor;
Himself oh I look for.
Oh I seek Him in splendor of form.
With star-song at the mind-pavilion,
In welkin, hell, and ocean.

My Gopal, He has been lost,
Unnoticed in the gloomy dark.
My Gopal, He has been lost;
Indignant from non-attention,
Somewhere distant He's gone off.

Won't Gopal come back again?
As much I cry, as much I try,
Won't Gopal come back again?
One time memory has gone; has He expunged?
Hope I have that afresh He will come.

Ubiquitous and mysterious

(3433) Tumi nayanera jale hiyara atale

You are in the tears of eyes, in heart's abyss;
You've dwelt in the azure of Earth's atmosphere.
Beyond the reach of mind, in the whole universe,
You have floated like a cooling breeze;
You have gone on floating,
Like a cooling breeze You've gone on floating.

I don't find a shore, much as I go contemplate;
I sail upon such shoreless sea!
With this one and same Person in the whole world,
Oh there's no end of not knowing;
His end, lo it's not there,
This very thought's finish, lo it's not there.

From God to grass blade, You've remained filling;
Left over there's not any space.
To hide in fear, to go off fugitive,
I discover there's not any place.
You've remained all-pervading;
Like pupil of eye You've gone on rising.

You had been and You exist, You've gone on staying;
Lord, You have gone on staying.

It has been tough

(3432) Se je chilo mor nayaner tara

The apple of my eye had been He,
Morning's splendor, love's conviction;
Limitless the gold-exuding memory.

If anyone remains familiar with Him,
Please tell Him about me.
In Fall, the gaps of my white clouds betwixt,
Destiny has made my sorrow stream.
I don't forget Him, I cannot ignore;
For even now He is my heart complete.

He keeps on giving an unending cradle
At my deepest recess psychic.
Only a delightful honey drops below,
When going to search for Him.
I did not forsake hope, breaking I could not;
By the light of meditation I know He will yield.

No more run about

(3431) Tomar tare anek ghure

For Your sake having rambled much,
I resolved no more I'll go anywhere.
On the bank of mind's Jamuna,
To give embrace this time will be.

Upon passageway, a stream of thought,
I will remain in a frenzy Yourself for.
At Thy holy feet crimson,
Fixedly will I go on staying.

I've gone about, heeding vows and sacred days;
Many a pilgrim-site visit I have made.
Unto humanity schism I've conveyed;
Contemplating crux, rubbish have I chased.

Worthless?

(3430) Ami tomay bhalabasi, tumi jano na kena

In love with You am I,
Why don't You know this?
For You I laugh and I cry;
It's like You don't listen.

Days after days, they leave;
Nights aplenty, they go missing.
Many stars afar are falling;
Don't You realize it?

I've arrived from the Beginningless;
I drift on stream of the Limitless.
At Your foot a spore of pollen,
Myself, are You not familiar with?

Oh so dreamy

(3429) Alokatiirthe lasye nrtye

At light's shrine with a dance-pose loving,
You appeared in a dream,
In a dream, oh in a dream.
Transcendent and well-versed in prosody,
With Your anklets ringing.

All things had been colored ebon;
That was giving gloom with a shove.
Removing it from everyone and filling psyche,
You gave a sweet resonating.

With such sweet ideation, every day please arrive,
To abate the filthiness of mine.
Upon the horizon like a blue lotus smiling,
Having brightened the existence of a unit being.

What is happening?

(3428) Tumi kabhu kandao kakhano hasao

Sometimes You make cry, sometimes laugh You cause;
What You fancy, I can't comprehend.
Sometimes You observe, other times You ignore;
Having pondered liila, I go on, become speechless.

Summer's bracing jui garland,
Juthika wetted by monsoon exudation,
And the night jasmine smiling upon dusk of Autumn,
Why You bring; the answer I don't get.

By the pre-winter's pallid-pleasant quality,
By wintry inertia honed and quivering,
By the springtime's floral beauty;
What You keep telling, that I only guess.
