Ever and anon

(563)  Alor dharay tumi bhaso

On a stream of light You arise,
And with kindly charm You smile;
You give love in the sweetest style.
Not omitting those who don't think of You,
For everyone You remove the gloom.

You were, You are, You will abide;
You reign as Lord of eternal time.
Boundless and profound is Your game;
And it won't ever terminate.
Even those who aren't of help to You,
For everyone You are of use.

At end of day when dusk descends,
Companions go home to their residence.
Just You alone remain behind,
All around, on every side.
Even if one hears Your call but does not respond,
You speak sweetly ever and anon.
