Sadhana

(1953)  Amar dharay jvallo alo

In my world a light burned
On Your cordial touch.
So everything felt good,
With happiness of love.

At home's niche lone had I been;
Crying, crying secretly.
That crying mine was fruitful,
As with a smile You did come.

Having wiped away my tears,
You averred: "I am yours...
Do not weep, but proceed,
Striving for completeness."
