A charming magic

(1951)  Shyamal shobhay tumi ele

You came with a green loveliness;
Upon surface of the earth You scattered it.
Kindliness You instilled
With blooms and buds, dynamic and static.

Hey Shyam,^[1] You have no equal;
I want You with mind and heart.
Oh sweet Mohan,^[2] what fascination
Is inflamed by Your love-lamp!

In Your presence I do not covet aught;
Those who have You have it all.
With the Kaostubha jewel over Your heart,^[3]
You are luminous in good times and bad.
