Come on, let's go

(1203)  Mor kanthe je samarthya diyecha

In my throat the power You have given me,
With that I keep calling;
I keep calling Thee.
Light's target that You've shown,
Toward it I proceed; along the path I go.

On ocean's other shore the kingdom does appear;
Piercing the dark's bosom, its bright splendor beams.
In everything You exist, so dread I do not feel;
I know there is nothing to fear.

Until now, in the bud is the unshed honey;
Until now, in the mind has hung the unsaid speech.
Within Thee is everyone, happily asleep.
As You wished, I receive all of them;
To take them I hasten.

A child no more?

Those days of mine are gone
When myself I have lost.
The flower bud fell off
When with salty hand I've touched.

Night arrives, and day also comes;
But the smile does not smile in such fashion
As it was smiling before
When, heart gifted, I have loved.

Even now I hear music of spring,
And to heart's swelling I pay heed.
In the rustle of dry-sapless leaves,
I've heard the sound of leaves tender and green.

You came, You came, sparking light in dark hearts;
The light You sparked, You sparked.
You caused the dormant buds to blossom;
Petal-covered nectar You awakened.

Those who were soundly asleep,
At Your touch sense they received.
The birds who were in nests abiding
You did treat to spirited samgiit.

Dark earth with colors You made ornate;
Yourself You entertained with color-play.
And at the core of wakened hearts You rose;
You removed the fear and fulfilled hope.

With which stick did you light the lamp
You have brought today?
Is that lamp kept ablaze,
Arrayed as countless flames?

It illuminates the seven spheres^[1]
And makes all darkness obsolete.
It pleases every living being,
Their wicker trays decked colorfully.

At the end of very long austerity,
You lit the lamp that never blinks.
Finally, with that light only,
You finished your complete duty.

And the peacock of my psyche races, frolicking.

And a thrilling current whispers very gently.
At Your touch, they are gleaming,
Having been on bended knee.

From Your song I am in frenzy.

This certain truth I am fathoming.

Oh Driver of the Gilded Chariot,
May You steer it with a golden magic.
Even when sun has sunk behind western mountain,
May You rid all darkness with Your effulgence.

Everyone needs a vessel, but You are container-free;
In every realm is Your movement with incessant speed.
Having gone along the spirit-path, taking everybody,
May You lead us to the formless sphere.

For You there's no judgment hard-to-reach or impossible;
There is just an aggregate of intense love and bliss.
All torment overlooked with same basic consciousness,
Everyone, may You give them Your shelter.

Roving round and round the universe,

Here there is no bashfulness mundane;
Hatred and scorn get no scope to remain...
In the heaven above blame and praise,
Shelter at His feet have I attained.

Sense of birthright or culture, respect or calumny,
Fear or fright, and whatever vanity...
All things that had bound me formerly,

Having come, those who stay, they go away;
Where get lost Earth's heaps of shapes?

Coming-and-going You never make.

Those confined to date and place,
Changing with each visit are they.
But You transcend both time and space,
No constraint do You obey.

This they fathomed not, Your love most sweet.

Then, pitter-patter, water had been falling;
And in bursts, bolts of thunder had been dancing.
Outside raging, inside charming...
This mode Yours was most fruitful formerly.

Jasmine fragrance on the humid breeze
Had come floating all about the darkness deep.
In one corner of my heart, a recess of psyche,
Oh the Innermost, You became my own property.

Many a Fall had arrived,
And the Springtime had smiled...
With blooms an avenue they'd filled;

The moon of psyche laughs no more.
From above the sands of time's ocean,

All fear and shame cast far away.

In kadam stamens a thrill was awakened,
And legions of rattan went frantic with vibration.
Screwpine pollen rode upon a moistened wind...
To what unknown place were they racing, racing?

With dance beat a peacock lured the Formless One,
And the scent of jasmine threw open heaven's door.
A sweet and gentle breeze whispered into every ear:
At the gate, the Unfamiliar Traveler's been standing.

Compared to you they all are less...
Sky-kissing, you proceed arrogantly.
Don't you see time's shadow–

By strength of intellect, the sky it's plying.

With concern the air was heavy.
To tell welcome none was there,
Hopefully then Him awaiting.

He had romped with lute a-jingling.
But quietly He did leave,
No one coming to bid Him Godspeed.

That song makes one self-forgetting.

Creates a world full of light-beams.

Or on a tree-branch with fresh color,
In the love brimming with speech
