How about that!



(3728) Ami khunjechi tomay nabhe patale dharay

I've sought You upon earth, in heaven, and in hell;
Embrace You did not grant, did not give and did not let.
Hey Ashutosh, maybe it is my fault;
I'm not known for any godliness.

You don't yield to scripture or philosophy;
Touching You does not succeed by a vernal breeze.
You are in the mind, You've kept dancing inside heart;
And hence You can't be bought, regardless of expense.

You don't get known through books or deeds;
To no taboo do You pay heed, amused at daybreak and at eve.
Family members faraway You make, and faraway ones kin;
By games diverse, You are in the soul's subtleness.

Both old and new



(3727) Mohabhainjana manorainjana

Dispeller of blind fascination, pleasing to psyche,
The entity omni-transcendent,
Hey the Happiness that's deep...
By majesty of name and glory of thought,
You are more than life itself,
Hey the ancient Being.

You are the greatest truth, Consciousness Supreme,
Pervading both matter and spirit equally.
Molecule and atom are wholly evolved in You only
You are existence and decease.

In a dance-cadence to eternity's love-tryst,
Endless ambrosial essence, everyone You are with.
Age after age You'd been, You exist, and You'll persist...
Having deluged thinking,
Hey the Ever-new Personality.

Never will I tire



(3726) Ganer e malakhani, tomari tare racechi

This paltry song-wreath,
I've composed for You only.
Gems and pearls I have not gleaned;
Just these odes of mine are there.

I pluck blooms in the morning;
I pack maya's string at evening.
Constantly recalling Thee,
Inside tune I've strung a speech.

This life's entire veneration,
Many private investigations,
With transience a contention...
Rid has been all the fatigue.

The tale endures



(3725) Cander alor deshe phuler parage mishe

Mixed with floral pollen from the land moonlit,
You had arrived upon that night which...
Sweetness amplified, paradise perceived,
Hey the Mind-Pleaser, You came with what wish?

Up to now the screwpine stamens, just that story they tell;
Juhi jasmines sing Your triumph, even though distressed.
Pinwheel flowers, Spanish jasmines, and the jati, senses aquiver,
Privately, they compose boundless songs of lovers' tryst.

Even today the forest-doe, she gazes at the sky;
With his tail unbodied, the peacock spies.
In delight the frog croaks through tears love-filled;
He cries to learn from kadam and tamal still.

Such a dilemma



(3724) Esechile tumi se rate

On that night You had appeared;
The moon's smile was suppressed.
By a sweetly gentle vernal breeze,
Abundantly supplied was endless happiness.

I know not what is Your style;
What You state, that too grasp not I.
What's the prayer from One Who's Realized?
Night and day, ahead You move abreast.

Having gone on giving, taking You don't desire;
God Ubiquitous, pray tell, what will He acquire!
Whatever's there, it belongs to Him only;
Beginning-to-end's collection of wealth.

Let me see Your smiling face



(3723) Sumukhe asite na cao

You don't like to come in front;
Do come, please arrive, inside eyes.
I don't want You loath or displeased;
I want You to smile.

Catching You does not succeed;
So say the folk who are knowing.
I am stupid, knowledge lacking;
To hold grace I desire.

What happens not by Your kindness?
Powerless, a mountain gets overleapt.
The mute also speak in a moment;
Upon me Moon smiles in a trice.

Make my day



(3722) Eso tumi amar deshe

In my country do arrive please,
Having loved and smiled sweetly.
At home I've kept ready a seat,
Mind's dais with floral finery.

Be my country's Guest of Honor;
Disregarding date, remain evermore.
This my land is wholly overspread
With love-filled, existential ecstasy.

When You are not appearing, oh my Beloved,
Kindly know, my everything is useless:
Sweetness of breast, moonlight and moon...
In essence the opposite of joy's nest cozy.
