You don't quite tread on me

(3784) Tumi esecho man niyecho

You have come, and mind You've taken; Why paid You no mind to me? You've held dear, and You have spoken With red lips, fondness replete. In You, my Longtime Friend, is sweetness universal; You are deeds of compassion, a sea of nectar. A drop of sandal-paste in hot blaze of disturbance, I was unable to bind Thee. Having longed for the dawn's crimson color Mid love's casket honey-logged, You are full, and I but vacuous; Nonetheless, You have kept above feet. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

More than I could ever dream

(3783) Ceyechilum tomay ami

I had wanted and witnessed You. In thrill of form's spray beauteous. You came in fascinating floral garb, When Yourself I have wished for. With attraction of chrysanthemum, Like a silver lotus You have come. Whatever I want, only that You give; In that do Your hues mix? Having wanted in spring colors I got lotus within lotus. Wanting's indigence You let be fathomed: Rectified the insufficiency of thought. I had desired with conceit; You took amid foot dust. Wishing and getting, to me they belong; All is already Yours, it dwells in perpetuum: What was not and what did exist; Everything there isn't and what there is. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

No amount of love to downplay

(3782) Kena ami tomar ghare asi na

Why to your home I come not, Unto you will I say? No, no, I'll say not. Why, having loved, embrace I grant it not... That fact will I explain? No, I will declare it not. Love is in creeper and leaf; In the floral pollen love is there. With love the spores go floating; In their company I'll tell what tale? No, no, I will speak not. With love the mind gets complete; With love the heart is overflowing. From love the three worlds[1] keel; That love will I disdain? No, no, I will forget not! Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My Curiosity

(3781) Tomay ami ceyechi, gopane gahane

Yourself have I witnessed, Both in secret and in depth. Obscure Traveler, please look for just a while In my direction, with eyes of kindness. Except You there is naught for which I long; I don't think of any other in meditation. Just Your love, Your unequaled effulgence, It brightens existence. You've tied me with such a thread floral; When wishing to rend, You have kept it undamaged. There's no end to the tale of Your merit; Thinking, I notice its lifespan is undiminished. In just Your mission, Your honeyed essence, On a ray of moonlight I ascend. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Whatever Your reason or purpose

(3780) Kii dos karechi balo na

Pray tell, what sin have I committed; My home, why did You not visit? I have loved with mind and heart; Though known, that too, don't You know it? Threading a garland became futile; Utterly useless was the tune practiced. Mem'ry is with tears and laughter; The alpana painted, do I abolish? I have witnessed in the shrine of mind; By Your dye I've become bright. In Your song and dance, become rapt have I; Hence, staying away is not tolerated.   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

How can I?

(3779) Bhavi tomay bhule jabo

I think I will go, Yourself forgetting; How do I forget, kindly answer! You rise floating on the horizon; If I think, won't I observe? With sandalpaste You smile in the summer heat; You float on screwpine pollen in the season rainy. Mid the kush and kash You dance, autumn during; And from white clouds You construct a rocking cradle. At pre-winter You are in paddy's fine aroma; At winter, in the silvery ice and frost. In spring by the gracious beauty of color, Implication You give through a dappled wind.   Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Bhaerav dwells within us

(3778) Bhaerav tumi durjoge ele

Bhaerav, You appeared at time of threat, With a dark tilak upon forehead. Whatever You received, You conquered and went, Even for an instant, movement not halted. Become nest-bereft are birds aplenty; Animals and humans lost their lodging. Like a flood, many tears kept on floating. You did not eye it for a moment. Oysters got drenched by water of own making; To deep beneath, the pearl went on sinking. Mentality full of love came in racing, With relief for the oppressed in this mundane realm.  Sarkarverse article Audio recording
