Distractions

(919)  Tomar name gane hayechi tanmay

I've grown attentive to Your name and song;
Heeding no restriction,
On Your path I move along.

With colored powder the hue of crimson,
Inside my psyche You have held position.
That powder, it has suffused me
With unfamiliar melodies.

My roaming eyes had become static,
Whelmed by Your motley forms.
And so my mind, lost and directionless,
It strayed off the right course.
Today, drawn by the tide of love's lyrics,
My puny ship is piloted.

With the light it drops, full of nectar,
Heart-enticing is the moon at midnight.
