Keeping Him bright

(826)  Bhorer aloy tomay pelum

I found You by the morning light,
Oh Lord, the sweetheart of my life.
With crimson love, Sun's Charioteer,
Please take the good in me.

Whatever's good, to You I gave;
What's bad remained with me.
I made my offering wholeheartedly
With fragrance alike sandalpaste.
Please take my gift, though trifling,
Oh Lord, the universally esteemed.

Light and dark, both are there;
Within me, they exist, I know.
My black spots, kindly let them go;
With bright clothes I adorn Thee.
Wee though I be, please keep me at Your feet,
Oh Lord, fit for everybody's memory.
