Ask and you shall attain

(3514) E prabhat prabhu tomari krpay

By only Your grace, Lord, this morning
Coruscates a crimson light.
The night, veiling with gloomy darkness,
Had kept up, but in a moment went aside.

The Unknown's ambrosial essence, love's exudation–
Afloat on the southern wind, honey of a blossom.
A sweetly smiling sensation's blissful cognition
Had traced the forehead's sandal stripe.

On geese-flight wings, day comes and leaves;
A stir do memories of yore continue giving.
Who asks Him about getting and not getting
The bounds of vibrated life?

Love maybe

(3513) Bhalabasi ki na jani na

I don't know if I love You;
It feels good to muse on Thee.
Hope having been launched,
Unto Heaven it spreads wing.

Bashful is my unblown blossom;
It gets mixed with Your color.
Lotus bud opening eyes,
It's as if it looks at sunbeams.

When the moon's light is in profusion,
The world fills with a dreamy infatuation.
Then like a star jasmine of Providence mental,
Your jingling resonance makes entry.

I think of You only

(3512) Maneri e manikahar

This my mind's ruby garland,
Only for You is it kept.
Coming close and smiling supple,
It You don like charming dress.

What I have strung on the thread,
It gets not offered as a present.
When given it is like my own self;
And then alone, on sight it twinkles.

It gets not torn, this thread of love;
It does not dry up when becoming morn.
In but own thoughts it stays absorbed;
It hears not what who has spoken.

Everybody's destiny

(3511) Nutaneri samarohe

With the grandeur of just novelty,
Hey the One Who's Ancient,
Much that is new came and retired
Within You, hey the Ever-Fresh.

Many new stars did arrive;
They flashed upon the blue sky...
Then got detached like aerolites,
No record when they came or went.

Many oceans with strings of waves,
All things to swallow do they crave...
Get lost inside You also they,
Hey Mind's Enchanter, ever transient.

We proceed to wherefrom we came

(3510) Tumi hasate jano tumi kandate jano

You know how to make laugh, how to make cry You know;
In a wink You know how to hide by trickery of Sport.
A mild southern wind blows, beguiles a verdant beauty;
And You go on playing a pipe of bamboo at heart's core.

Immensely vast and deep, You're the universal shelter;
Keeping company with everyone, there is none Your likeness.
Hey the Ocean Supreme, beginningless and endless,
In good times and bad, the greatest Deity You are.

Whatever fear or shame endures, whatever dirt remains,
Instantly it gets removed, Your touch having gained.
Sadhana is of the Cherished One, the dispatch hard to attain;
Steadfastly You permit a pouring of strength from mantra.

Winding my way to Thee

(3509) Chandahara mor ektara

My one-stringed lute, rhythmless,
Toward You it goes racing.
With rent hope in unspoken tongue,
It wants to get You only.

For getting or not getting of the realm above,
With brightness and a thrill is the lamp of thought.
The jeweler of psyche, illumination's essence,
At Paradise He makes swoon perpetually.

I've gone on mistaking what I've craved, what I've gained;
There's no end of desire, I have known the same.
From where forehead's affixed bindi is kept stored,
Existence and progress pray for nectar of happiness.

Moving toward Thee

(3508) Kena tumi more deke jao

Why do You continue calling me?
Not for an instant that call do You cease.
Trifling am I, I am insignificant;
Why do You want to get my proximity!

I have come to this place by a flow of light,
On Your imagination's current of desire.
Afloat ever proceeding on a tune of unknown site;
In movement's passage, You provide the speed.

Oh the Unknown Traveler, unfamiliar are You too;
Always with me, You as well, please do move.
On the path of movement, strength kindly infuse;
Then goad me by Your preferred mode of melody.
