My direction

(3334) Tomar katha bheve, din cale jay

About You thinking,
The days vanish.
My Lord in elation and grief,
Please do come down, stooping
To this dusty earth,
Your constructed mortal sphere.

I'm a man of clay, Master,
Your fabricated, tinged sky lantern.
To obtain a touch of the heavenly,
I run fast, upward facing.

I don't grasp right or wrong time's difference;
Amid Your interior, I search for calmness.
At heart-core please come near;
With a light stationary.

Proof of devotion...

(3333) Tumi jake bhalo baso

The one whom You hold dear,
Behind a screen why does he stay?
The praise from smiling-face,
Oh why does he keep far away?

To others You give wealth and ability;
Upon the peak of majesty You seat.
You take away the votary's everything;
Devotion gets coated with shame.

Except for You the eight occult powers,
Discrimination-vanquished they make others.
But a devotee, in psyche always
Remains easy, Yourself having gained
With fulfillment's blissful state.

Wanting You

(3332) Bhalo je base tomay

One who is in love with Thee,
Alas, her story,
Why do You not ponder?
She offered heart's ambrosia,
Forgetting the earth;
Why don't You look at her?

In Your idle time,^[1]
Whether it be day or night,
At a single niche inside the mind,
Someone summoned, why do You not observe?

Someone who unto You everything has consigned,
Who has got along thinking thoughts only Thine,
A lamp she has kindled through surmise;
Don't You keep an eye by that lantern?

The songs we sing

(3331) Ruper melay base tumi

Seated are You within shape's throng;
Without shape, song You go on singing.
Having bathed inside the sea of form,
At soul a voice You rouse from sleep.

Amid those sensate or unconscious,
Your notes, always they ring forth.
Upon all thought and every action
Tender care You smear.

Atomic dust-motes on a stream of light,
Amid all them You play on a reed pipe.
The tone-body from ages gone by,
Time-and-season You defeat.

When I am depressed

(3330) Tumi sabar ashar alo

For one and all a ray of hope are You;
You are everyone's life-lantern.
A bright light in pitch-black gloom,
You're the kadam honey-coated.

In a game of light-and-shadow,
By cosmic liila You're displayed.
Formless mid a fair of shapes,
At times frank, oft the reverse.

Yourself do I hold dear;
For You I laugh and I weep.
All of my darkness ridding,
With the mind's ambrosia please come, Master.

For the life of me

(3329) Tomar priitir aloy

With Your love's light
Came to Earth pulse existential.
Under that light all felt fine;
The mind of everyone by cradle swung.

Bondage You gave, You gave release;
You loved the unit beings.
The formless You in form appeared;
Ascent of sentiment there was.

I know not what isn't there;
You exist, just that I heed.
In a niche of psyche secretly,
Could there be affection's draw?

We meet only in the mind

(3328) Sathii amar priya amar

My Companion, my Darling,
Listen to my plea.
Due to You, all my life,
I bear separation's agony.

At end of night, in eastern sky
When morning's early sun smiles,
Having thought of You, in fancy Thine,
I compose ballads of Thee.

On evening sky the setting sun,
When paints a portrait full of color,
In a grove of dusk neath wind of mind,
I sing Your history.
