I've realized

(3175)  Tomake kache tani

I draw You near,
Aside all mental qualms having set.
I know that no one else is there,
Who, after touching heart, myself comprehends.

Many days arrive and go off;
Many nights make the eyes give forth.
Many ages to the dark are lost;
Stolen is the sweetness of life.

I have found You in gladness and distress,
In the dejection in a desert's breast.
With nectar is mind's bewitchment,
Outside of desire when lost I get.

Having found nigh

(3174)  Maya chariye dile akashe

What's this, such magic You scattered upon sky,
With what hope a heart You thoroughly satisfied;
So in my world, apart from You there is none,
There's no one!

All differences vanished between friend and foe;
The ones remote were taken and pulled up close.
Opened went the fastened bolt;
I don't find the limit of Your love.

In Phalgun a fire You applied,
For what merit, on the shriveled leaves of mine.
Somewhere You'd been hidden out of sight;
About this alone I keep musing, having got proximate.

Abundant generosity

(3173)  Ajana pathik ajike elo

Today appeared the Unknown Traveler.
I could not believe this too can be:
At my hut; oh what happened!

Enter the world, Beloved, come into existence;
Take seat nearby, strewing a smiling sweetness.
Your love floats upon sky and in breeze;
The meaning of life You awaken.

Life's Jamuna, running upstream it went;
All filthiness got vanquished by effulgence.
Calling, He took another into home, the remote adjacent;
He gave mental sweetness most ample.

I've come to think

(3172)  Amar bhuvan hariye geche

My world has gone missing
Inside dark mind's recess deep.
In search I roam, weep and make cry,
In everybody's psyche stealthily.

I won't make cry ever again;
Nothing is like night-jasmine's necklace.
Dew-drenched is completely useless
In a residence of emotion lonely.

My Earth, my enclosure,
On days of grief made sorrowful,
Is turned overflowing with upsurge
In ripples of happiness momentary.

Falling asleep

(3171)  Tandra jakhan cokhe neve elo

Drowsiness, when upon eyes it descended,
Then in mind there'd been darkness.
River of existence, spilled in hundred streams,
I had not realized whereto will it wend.

With emotion tidewaters were overflowing;
They had been resisting gravity.
But I don't see on heavens the sweetness of moon;
Only by moon's halo had they been swollen.

An ebb tide came after life's flood;
The upstream water went far withdrawn.
I look on every side but have no power;
The moon had hauled me adjacent.

At last

(3170)  Tumi esecho pran dhelecho

You've arrived, heart You've poured forth;
The dark You've let it be withdrawn.
You have wished for welfare, You have loved;
Having made Your own You've carried off.

Do stay please, remain near, far away don't leave;
The peacock of cogitation dances around Thee.
Oh have You closely marked?

Only Your light glows in burnt offering of psyche;
On heart's lotus, fragrance Thine does swing.
Have You managed to ignore?

You light my way

(3169)  Je alo tumi jharale

The light rays You emanated,
They race dancing upon the horizon.
Mid limitation's circumference, sweet scent You did lavish
By a celestial ballad-composition.

Movement is with coming and going...
Dormant in that only is Your love-story,
With its rhythm and melody sentiment filled,
A unit mind's dazzling effusion.

"Yourself I did not find" can never be claimed...
Coming on Your own, Lord, You've kept granting embrace;
Nevertheless, I don't see through fog of the insensate;
And You keep smiling in a heaven of heart.
