You fulfill me

(2131)  Tumi esechile bhalabesechile, amar mane mane madhu kuinjavane

You had arrived, and You'd held dear
Within my psyche at a garden bower sweet.
Unto Thee none called out, nor poured she love;
A song she made not heard in every ear.

Oh You know how to smile, You know how to like;
With songs aplenty, You entice remote ones near.

No one is Your unrelated, everyone is kindred;
On collarbone of all You hang affection's necklace.
The person who attains You, everything she gains;
Heart to heart, she stays integrated with everybody.

Rising on the sea

(2130)  Graha tara ghore tomare ghire

Stars and planets spin round Thee,
Only waves of the sea intermittently,
Only waves of the sea intermittently.
Mind's peacock call to You when lone
Is to obtain, fantail dancing.

Atoms and molecules in bosom of celestial sphere,
They caper with great pleasure to rhythm and beat.
Whatever I am getting, whatever I got not,
In everything mind searches for Thee.

What was near, what went elsewhere,
Due to them even still mind reels.
They all dwell within just You;
Dressed in liila You are keeping.

Our secret meeting...

(2129)  Tomay amay gopan dekha

Between Yourself and me a secret meeting,
Lover, it will be at alcove of the mind.
No one will know, no one will see;
Mentally, nobody will realize.

In flowered garb You'll arrive
At effusive heart's inside...
Along with moon on moonlit night,
Like paradise with light on light.

About You any small bit I conceive,
It can't be caught in thought or speech.
Beyond all language, beyond thinking,
You come furtively; is that the reason why?

I am Yours

(2128)  Kena esechile kena cale gele

What for had You come; what for did You leave?
What for You departed, throwing love away?
In a shoot of grass on looking glass of psyche,
You decamped, a rosy hope having kept traced.

Not a thing You ever wanted;
Nothing You gave me to manage.
You had said: "Go on doing work today,
Far-off having cast despair."

With You have I remained, always do I stay;
Evening and morning, welfare I contemplate.
Take as known that You are my darling;
Getting me is not a hope that's vain.

This billow on water, on a sandy beach
You are there and also I.

I was not alone, never unaccompanied;
Ever with love You have kept enveloping.
Cross the length of time, with sweet subtlety,
Only Your grace I beseech.

My Abiding Friend since time immemorial,
I know You are everyone's Most Precious.
Nonetheless I deem You as mine only...
I dress in the manner You adorn me;
In Your form and color I am dancing.

Just Your path adhering to,
Reciting name of only You,
We press onward,
Singing but Your song.

Upon the advent of just You,
With removal of the gloom,

It has come to an end.

There's not any obstruction,
Nor any hesitation to set forth.
Ahead we trek;
This is our splendid expedition.

Even though minuscule, please regard the molecule.
With micro-pain is Macro's wound;
This too can You not perceive?

Darling, what You will, that alone please do;
Only please take me along with You.
The heart's secret is its huge solicitude;
Hiding it neath web of words does not succeed.

To get near, my heart craves.

In ocean waters the most deep,
Beyond scope of thoughts and thinking,
Kindly love me.

At heart's core a beat You bring.
In distillation of that rhythm only,

My kingdom for a speck of grace

(2120)  Sharada shukla nishiithe

On an autumn night, bright and clear,
In solitude I've wanted Thee.
This wish, my Dear, can be fulfilled,
By a tiny smidgen of Your kindness.
I've not force, not the strength,
Hence, candidly, I go on begging grace;
There is no claim that's worthy.

When the way was obstructed, oh Store of Compassion,
Both You gave: the constraint and salvation.
Under Your protection through mantra's magic,
Upon Your avenue I will proceed.

In the hands of humankind, so little is there;
The universe has moved by Your mercy.
Oh, a speck of compassion, he who has received,
In this world, he has gotten everything.

Upon roads right or wrong, with us has He remained;
And so light's flash we get to see.

Never is someone among us unaccompanied;
He comes along, and having been with will get seen.
With joy of life by just His grace,
Forward only do we gaze.

For looking backward there's no opportunity;
Fear and shame forgotten, a song just His we sing.
What in hand we have received, with us we have kept;
On goal's journey, it's allowance for expense, that only.

What more can I do, please inform me.

In Your mind is everything.

Sensate or insensate, everything that's been alive,
It has gone on dancing inside of Your mind.
Everyone is within You, within all You too reside;
Moving are we, inextricably.

All the hundreds and hundreds of mental aspirations,
Each word spoken, and every affliction in You lie hidden.
Per Your liking You give rules and regulations;
On our side, we only entreat.

Remote are You; why are You distant?
Please come close, within mind,
If the mind You have wanted.

Of Yourself and me the intimacy
Is a love that's everlasting.
At my inner core Your frequenting,
No one knows, for You have kept it hid.

Hey, my Sweetheart eternal,
You have bound me with strings of love.
On eastern sky arrived the dawn,
But even now You have gone on indecisive?

You want to rectify all the reprobates.

Hey Master of everyone, unstained and unbodied;
You ignite welfare's splendor at core of my being.
Any mistake I have made, any wrong path I have walked,
On this day itself, You retract my that disgrace.

I'll go on doing duties Thine, Yours alone will I bide;
Mid You I will realize life's glory.
Your enormity will be my dignity;
I'll march ahead with frontward gaze.

On eastern sky a newly risen sun beams.
Having hewn the mind-fog, hope blooms
On a vibrant wind that's sweet.

Sleep no more, stay up, everybody;
At the feast of life, enough work is there.
Many enemies exist; banished they must be
With firm belief and expectation steady.

With time delimited, on earth we've appeared;
Chores must be finished, managed inside that span only.
Will your mission be successful, will it be achieved,
If the time drifted away in self-indulgence lazy?

When as human You arrived

(2114)  Tumi esechile kache tene nile

You had appeared, You took and drew me near;
With Your own color You dyed my psyche.
You awarded what I'd earned, everything;
What was not earned, that also You heaped.

I had been forgetting You, with matter mixing;
But in the end, You conveyed sensibility.
Through a human base, You made me perceive;
The speed of my return is what You achieved.

There was not a thing to label mine;
There was no capacity, and there was no enterprise.
Now I see that eyes get opened when there's mercy;
I had been erroneous, only having ignored Thee.

No, no, no.
Without You does anyone exist?
I don't know, I don't know.

Creation, when it was not existing,
There were none, nobody for You to see.
Now surrounded, everyone alleges:
Me You do not see, You don't behold.

You exist, and so everyone exists;
The world is, it has circled.
Everything takes place by Your grace;
Some understand that, and some don't,
No they don't.

Imagine my yearning, don't be callous;
Understand my eagerness.

At crimson-colored morning, I think of Your story;
On the star of evening Your portrait I see.
All alone at midnight, I hearken to the avenue
For report of Your advent.

Be not most remote, but to me please come adjacent;
Don't forget that You're my nearest intimate.
Do continue ringing me, neath both light and gloom,
Hey the Beautiful Sweetness.

A lack of courtesy

(2111)  Ke go tumi aji bhare nile saji

Oh just today, Who came; a wicker tray You refilled.
I was in my floral garden, saying not a thing.
I did not beg to approach, nor invited to sit;
I did not make welcome under the awning.

You arrived uninvited, unbid You appeared;
Stealthily You penetrated my mental spinney.
Smiling sweetly, yet not uttering a mite,
You became engaged in flower-gathering.

I can't fathom what is this, Your sport divine,
Why You go on playing games with the mind.
In my grove, privately only with me,
Through love-vibration, You give a swing.

Staying near to such extent does not succeed!
Who deems that You've become negligent?
Every moment, You keep on considering!

I had thought that You've been distant,
So I've suffered, roundabout having rambled.
Now about You, my Lord, I am cognizant;
Your light sparkles within psyche.

You hear everybody's tale, the inner pain You digest;
A heart disclosed to Yours, You take from it anxiousness.
Oh Master, we are lacking sense, nothing do we comprehend;
But yet we search for defect in Your majestic glory.

I know Yours is a mere visit;
It's not any wish-fulfillment.
Yet such is the mind's magic,

It has run, rotating in orbit.
Even if you were knowing that you are adjacent,
Wouldn't you be going far, notwithstanding?"

The memories He leaves

On this same forest avenue, amid a floral magic,
Having come in person, to me You surrendered.
The words You told, what You did teach,
That I've retained on memory's fabric.

I can't forget that day's occasion
And that same vital force, laminating with affection.
Going back over the memory amid flowers of psyche,
I sweeten it with love.

At the very core of me I have found Thee;
So many days I've sought in vain externally!
Alone in private, at mind's place hard to reach,
I've achieved all aspiration.

I will find You, I will get You surely;
Yours had I been, and Yours I'll be.
Swayed by blind attachments all around me,

A water lily loves the sun;
Though it be small, it thinks of Large.
And so with You I am in love;
Remaining far no longer flies.

Your totality alone is fine;
Upon this moon there's no black dye.

No other wish is there;
And so amid all duties,
I keep hunting the Supreme Ruler.

Did not raise a tune on the strings of His veena?
Saying that He will return, He did not revisit;
Upon love, He has poured deceit.
