The tale endures

(3725) Cander alor deshe phuler parage mishe

Mixed with floral pollen from the land moonlit, You had arrived upon that night which... Sweetness amplified, paradise perceived, Hey the Mind-Pleaser, You came with what wish? Up to now the screwpine stamens, just that story they tell; Juhi jasmines sing Your triumph, even though distressed. Pinwheel flowers, Spanish jasmines, and the jati, senses aquiver, Privately, they compose boundless songs of lovers' tryst. Even today the forest-doe, she gazes at the sky; With his tail unbodied, the peacock spies. In delight the frog croaks through tears love-filled; He cries to learn from kadam and tamal still.

Such a dilemma

(3724) Esechile tumi se rate

On that night You had appeared; The moon's smile was suppressed. By a sweetly gentle vernal breeze, Abundantly supplied was endless happiness. I know not what is Your style; What You state, that too grasp not I. What's the prayer from One Who's Realized? Night and day, ahead You move abreast. Having gone on giving, taking You don't desire; God Ubiquitous, pray tell, what will He acquire! Whatever's there, it belongs to Him only; Beginning-to-end's collection of wealth.

Let me see Your smiling face

(3723) Sumukhe asite na cao

You don't like to come in front; Do come, please arrive, inside eyes. I don't want You loath or displeased; I want You to smile. Catching You does not succeed; So say the folk who are knowing. I am stupid, knowledge lacking; To hold grace I desire. What happens not by Your kindness? Powerless, a mountain gets overleapt. The mute also speak in a moment; Upon me Moon smiles in a trice.

Make my day

(3722) Eso tumi amar deshe

In my country do arrive please, Having loved and smiled sweetly. At home I've kept ready a seat, Mind's dais with floral finery. Be my country's Guest of Honor; Disregarding date, remain evermore. This my land is wholly overspread With love-filled, existential ecstasy. When You are not appearing, oh my Beloved, Kindly know, my everything is useless: Sweetness of breast, moonlight and moon... In essence the opposite of joy's nest cozy. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

From the first day

(3721) Tumi esechile viina bajiyechile

You had come, You had played a veena; Even still its jingle goes on floating. Melody You had taught, songs You had sung; A string of that lute flashes in psyche. You'd gone on making Earth enchanted; After long, unbodied sleep, ecstatic. By that Your import, a bearing having insight deep, A golden waterfall upon life is cascading. You did not go far remote, ever You are circling all; In the casket of psyche hums Your love. By that Your manner and music mode, immortal affection, Inside what's beyond hue, color is swooning.

Sympatica

(3720) Ei tamasay bhara varasay

In this same gloom-filled rainy season, My mind goes on floating with a cloudy-green complexion, Like sweet beauty of a bamboo flute's arbor. That Beloved, won't He come, won't He play a reed pipe; Won't He sway a heart with Jamuna waters of pastime? On the octave won't a lyre with its jingling sound excite, And by even just one person does this get labeled love? Outside, the rain exudes a sleep-breaking tune; Unseen by all, at home my eyes effuse. Drenched by a tear-stream, mid whole world in solitude, Who looks afresh in my direction!

My Dark Prince, I muse on Thee

(3719) Madhaviikuinje eso shyam

Oh Krsna, at myrtle grove please arrive, Intoxicating psyche's bumblebee. A hushed-up bud drain until dry, The heart's ambrosia two hands filling. This myrtle grove, it is mine; It lives on in hope Thine... Every instant that is idle, Ciphering the seconds owing to Thee. I don't know whether You will come, Making my effort blossom. Sprinkled tears and love tender, Will or won't they entice Thee? Please appear in a groom's clothing, Decked by blooms and song's resonance lingering... A visage sweet and mind alert, With smiling lips in depths of reverie. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
