Please don't keep afar

(3552) Varata eseche dur taraka theke

Information has arrived from a remote star;
Will You not be sating hope, won't You come
To this same mortal world with despairing heart?

At hope's southeast corner, You will kindle new light;
Anxious humanity did provide the heady might...
Only that will manifest– You'll make everything fine,
Between Supreme Being and Its thinking-analogue.

No one's sorrow will remain, You'll fill every breast;
By the Great's inspiration, constant zeal will dwell...
The eye-pupils smiling sweetly, each face resplendent,
Through exuberant lifetime's effusion.

From on high

(3551) Tumi esechile priya

You had come, Beloved,
At end of dark, new-moon night,
O'er eastern mountain^[1] pouring light,
Disrepute setting aside in a trice.

On Earth's surface none had been alive,
My tale of pain to realize.
In private You arrived
From grief and glee's lofty sky.

From world above came the light rays;
Form to bloom in many hues did they make.
And Your smile it conveyed
As mood's reply, thought-realm derived.

You have suckered me

(3550) Ceyechilum ami shudhu tomake

Only You had I yearned for,
Me You gifted many things.
With You stay I, had I thought;
You pillowed me with riches worldly.

A lotus You provided, You gave a thorn's pain burning;
Choker-like, You filled up a floral wreath.
Deference showing, You gave anxiety;
You made me forget the song everlasting.

I know just You as long road's boon companion;
In my vicinity, nowhere is there someone more.
Only to attain You, on Your path do I walk;
You are my polestar, kindly pay heed.

No reason for isolation

(3549) Dyuloker dundubhi beje utheche

Heaven's bugle has begun sounding;
The sun has come with new vigor.
Upon eastern mountain,^[1] with reddish, tender leaves,
Life goes on flowing, to fill with song.

Removed has been the long gloom unending;
Sped in each direction has life's tidings–
Dormant social consciousness has risen, awaking
With anklets of light now, without fear or hesitation.

Today there is no lone doer's vanity;
Everyone moves joyously with everybody...
All mute mouths to fill with speech,
A lake of ambrosia having bathed in splendor.

The mountain comes to Mohammed

(3548) Harano kanu elo aj

Arrived today the Kanu^[1] lost,
With vista of the new only...
At the groves of Vrndavan aplenty,
Having coated revelry on a mild breeze.

The kadam tree is wizened;
Grazing land had become a desert.
And the River Jamuna had evaporated;
Inside heart Kanu had not been.

The ones who had loved,
To a standstill they had come.
But today they lost aplomb,
Having gotten their Beloved at dwelling.

Comes the new day

(3547) Anek diner pare se eseche

After many a day He has arrived;
He has been filling the life of everyone.
Today, no palaver is there–
Only song and still more song.

Young madder shoots, they speak dancing;
It became your time, oh buds of myrtle evergreen.
No longer be abed lying;
Listen to His invitation.

Bakul too, they proclaim, amid bela and malatii;
The tale of His coming is told upon a southern breeze.
No more be awaiting and crying;
His gift, smiling, take it please.

Victory of Dharma is an ordinary thing

(3546) Prabhat eseche aji nutana rupe

Today in a new form has come the morning
Upon eastern mountain^[1] with tidings of novelty.
In love's direction is dogma's lethargy
Cast aside to satisfy a lotus smiling.

All through the night everyone had yearned for
A golden splendor at the end of gloomy ebon.
There's not any restlessness or drunken celebration;
With a silent ecstasy is gaining reddish, tender leaves.

By war have gone amok the creatures of darkness;
That a sweet world might be they did not yen.
But one day this mistake they will forget;
In a new universe with the dawn's inventiveness,
Petty is it at this daybreak in the bud of psyche.
