Everybody has need; everyone we must feed



(3714) Jiirna vishiirna

Extremely thin, emaciated,
For the living I'll provide.
The sick and hunger-stricken,
Whatever else, I'll keep alive.

Those who are afflicted or uptight,
From anguish and disease very tired...
Be they bird or beast or humankind...
Everybody, we are sired.
Even shrubs and ivy, they are life;
For them too we must contrive.

Those far away I have pulled near;
Along I've taken everybody.
With both mind and heart I have paid heed;
Only for all are riches prized.

I would bear their burden



(3713) Jhatika jadi ase

When a windstorm may come,
Hey Lord, to confront do permit.
At the spate of a flood,
From me please take service.

When earth's strata may budge,
And if volcanic craters erupt
Or bird-nests, they fly off;
In mind stir the sense of kinship.

Minuscule am I, wholly bereft;
Make me wet with kindness.
By cosmic ideation drenched,
Relief of those stricken, let me take part in.

I seek peace of mind



(3712) Ek alo andharer khela

A game of light and gloom,
Hey Prabhu, in this, Your Genesis.
Everyone moves rapidly when light is detected;
Then to envelop it arrives a mist.

After moon's smile comes a dark night;
A gloomy day follows the nighttime bright.
Like a lantern adorned is the star-shine;
But hiding it by rain or sun comes quick.

Like a flower in bloom is the smile of a child,
A rainbow and the autumn moon, incomparably fine.
But they don't stay for a long time... off they glide
To get lost in a temporal pit;
So, in joy and sorrow, I crave Your shelter.

You cannot forget me



(3711) Canpar kali bale vasanta ele

Magnolia's bud says, "Spring, You came"
Hymns You compose through blooms aplenty.
I feel love, only a joyous laughter;
On canvas of memory You paint a swing of splendid beauty.

Life You infuse with heaven's wine;
Like a bumblebee humming You haul us nigh.
You withdraw winter's inertia, hard to realize;
There is not Your liila's peer.

Within an atom, Yourself I've obtained;
The glamor of Your shape, in nebula it reigns.
Your love-song, on lyre-strings it plays;
The universe is implication of just Your being.

Hey the Unseen Splendor, hey the Supreme Shelter,
The sweet emotion past the range of speech's travel.
Getting or not getting's ultimate consequence:
It's so that You may not ever forget me.

Always a mystery



(3710) Khunje gechi tomay

I have gone searching for You
At home and also outside;
You came not into fold.
To known and unknown places have I gone;
I've gone to pilgrim-sites untold.

Sought have I on ocean coastlines;
I have searched waters of pilgrim sites.
I've looked into many shrines;
Formless Lord, You'd not been in any mode.

In mountain caves I did not find;
Nor found I at House of God mine;
Lastly, I see inside:
You laugh, ever unknown.

Hence we realize



(3709) Juthika viithika periye

A lane of jui jasmine having crossed,
That same morning You had come...
On restless winds, a course melodious,
Eyelids painted with collyrium.

All had been deep asleep, abstract the whole creation;
From gloomy darkness countless were disgorged.
Life had been motionless, velocity blockaded;
Nary a sound on the sides four.

As if there'd not been cognizance in the shoots speechless,
On veena strings no message had been jangled.
You arrived, and language came; sensation was vibrated
Upon the face of those first living ones.

You're the One I adore



(3708) Esecho kache besecho bhalo

You've come nigh, You have prized;
Far withdrawing, oh don't go;
No... no, no, no, no, no!
In smiling there is radiant beauty, on face there is light,
So that ties of love, tear You don't.

Many people, they relate stories manifold;
Atop diamantine heart, do they ever give sorrow?
Your sweetness, through a dream-web I compose;
Please don't let that dissolve.

At the depths of psyche floats Your darling aspect;
Filled by thought of the Great, a sway's bestowed upon breast.
To heed Eros, god of love, pain's expelled;
The stolen sensation is unbroke.
