I am here, My darling

(3234)  Kar tare tumi mala ganthiyacho

For Whose sake have you strung a wreath?
Toward Whose path are you looking?
Who is He most remote yet most beloved,
Mentally, Whom You've kept holding?

Breast you've steeped in a nectar heavenly;
You have decked the bed with blooms smiling sweetly.
Far off you've expelled the unexpressed agony;
By a mental jasmine you've been seized.

Nowadays, a stranger to you is no one;
Your soul mates, they are everyone.
In depths of psyche at mind's window,
The bolt you have thrown free.

By Your grace

(3233)  Esecho amar ghare

At my home You've appeared,
Doling by hand the wares of mercy.
I don't have any worthiness;
Yet, I've gone on calling wholeheartedly.

Stars of the firmament inform:
You are everybody's patron.
From sky-blue through meteors,
Light-rays exude, Lord, for sake of Thee.

Unto me You have given amply;
To You I have furnished nothing.
Bud in bloom, myself completely,
I gave it today, upon lotus feet.

Less than easy

(3232)  Tomake cena halo day

Recognizing You became tough;
Yourself known, hard it was.

Sweeter than great sweetness...
Compared to life dearer yet...
By thunder-stones and ruin's drama,
The whole world is enveloped.

When I think You the furthest...
Even amid harsh the sternest...
A floral smile and a pile of moonlight,
They sing a song of love.

How do I worship?

(3231)  Tumi prabhu amar jani

I know You are my Master,
So why then don't I find You near?
I hear that by a union pervasive
You're within the heart of everybody.

You are early morn's blood-red sun,
Body of the sun very warm.
Greatly You thrill molecules and atoms;
In cadence they dance all around Thee.

A blossom-mind's intimate secrets,
Love's ambrosia, separation's torment–
All of the tales unwritten–
Adorning petals, You go on proclaiming.

Consciousness all-enveloping

(3230)  Sagar jethay dur niilimay

From where ocean upon far cerulean,
It's got dissolved into firmament,
On sandy beach at crimson dawn,
Seated, I receive a faint trace of His presence.

Hey the Couturier, Yourself I do love;
In Your cadence I dance with all my heart.
Through Your vibration wakens a new-fashioned
Affectionate hankering endless.

So many of my moments have gone off;
Many nights, crossed have they become.
Hey the Sea, You are absent cease or shore,
Always unfamiliar in splendor of consciousness.

Even were I to hide

(3229)  Bansharii dhvani tomari

The sound of a flute that's only Yours,
It pulls me and drags me, attracts me.
Whenever I think I'll not listen,
My resolve can't persevere.

At Vrindavan's grove inside psyche,
In both light and ebon's cranny,
Anywhere that I hide, hear can I
Amid love's splendid beauty.

In heaven, hell, and realm of living,
When and where I go on moving,
Day and night always it accompanies,
Tied by a thread of love only.

A new kind of beauty

(3228)  Cheye navaghana niila gagane

New and impressive, covering the azure sky,
Today You arrived, now You did appear.
The screwpine pollen having coated life,
A peacock rose up dancing, it arose frolicking.

The air has gone on diffusing jui-jasmine spice;
The deer of a woodland trail is staring at the sky.
In contemplation, having thought on their plight,
A lyre rose up playing, it arose resounding.

From kadam stamen has exuded delight;
On it many drops of water are inscribed.
Having seen neep's beauty with own eyes,
Earth rose up decorating, it arose embellishing.
