Krsna, my Sweet

(2503)  Ceye gechi tomare

I have kept looking at Thee
In a hundred forms, on a hundred happenings.
Through name and song You had granted apprehending
By way of both music-mode and melody.
I have sought You still more near,
Amid the heart's feelings;
Far-removed, never do I want You to be.

Effulgent Deity, come closer yet;
In silence smile on my 'I'-sense.
By my love and Your majesty,
Make a living being replete.

Yourself I request in my vicinity
With threads of love echoing rhythmically,
With luster in a ringlet, with thrill in a wink,
Filling me with sweetness of a bamboo reed.

My love won't You receive...

(2502)  Jabe dure cale

You will go away far-distant,
Trampling below feet a garland strung;
Please tell me what's the reason.
You float on the rays of dawn,
You smile within floral color;
Know that You I won't abandon.

Insignificant my force,
There is no strength of endeavor,
But I cherish You alone;
In You I am absorbed.
My candor and my fervor,
Regard them as golden chains on one.

The heart's burden of anguish,
A collection of disgraces,
Everything kept to myself,
Love's necklace I did give;
With smiling face, You please take it.
To me do be gracious;
Myself closer still, kindly draw.

Such misery

(2501)  Jar tare mala gantha

Him for Whom garland is strung
And contemplating Whom the pain is lost,
Why did He not come to my dwelling?
Day and night a few words for all plights of everyone,
With light the heart He makes replete;
Why did He not come to my dwelling?

If somebody knows the reason
Why nearby He does not come,
What for does He smile remotely
But close by He does not talk,
Kindly explain it to me.

I plead with everybody,
Please do me this mercy...
For His sake I am living...
So that He may not forget me
And make me vibrant with music and melody.

In this world our destiny

(2500)  Aloker dut chute esechilo

Light's herald had come rushing in;
To me He'd told privately,
Via songs aplenty:
"Know the world is not a mime,
But genuine flow-tide upstream.

"Daybreak's rise, evening's demise–
On cue of just the One Divine–
True Deity is ever the Director;
Know this fact wholeheartedly.

"Anywhere in life don't retain fraudulence–
Nothing stays reserved at home of existence–
That truth suffuses heart in deeps;
Pay heed to it with mind sincere."

At twilight's sea on the far sky,
The blood-red writing You inscribed–
Its tracing won't fade away
From my mind at any time.

I have blended with Your color;
My lost self I have abandoned–
By Your love, through tear and smile,
You dispensed the joy of life.

Lord, a game keeps getting made with color;
On each side color-full is Your exhibition–
In that sportive flow, nectar with delight,
My Beloved, You came nigh.

Now I've found the One

(2498)  Alor raune maner raune

Hue of light and hue of mind, the two colors,
On this evening I united.
Revenue unpaid I pursue in vain;
It's not there in psyche's room jewel-studded.

Throughout my existence what I've sought,
For own sake that I've longed for.
But all things I observe, they are gorged,
Full of life, like the flame of a lantern.

With my hue in twilight's red complexion,
It went missing through affection.
Having lost everything while attaining One,
In contemplation of the One I exist.

To proceed along Your line,
With only You to abide,

(2496)  Iishan tomar visan bejeche

Lord Shiva, Your horn has sounded;
Laziness, faraway You've discarded.
Inactivity's disgrace wasn't able to remain;
Liveliness has grinned.

Sleeping Earth, awakening has risen;
With fresh leaves, it has been embellished.
Colors have kept filling fruits and flowers,
Mid auspicious thought's refulgence.

Impeding the path is no other person;
It's the bale and malice of mean thought.
With the luminaries on a free firmament,
The day has come for going ahead.

In my eye is there a sty?

(2495)  Sabakar se je ankhira tara

He Who is the pupil of everybody's eye,
Him I don't recognize, Him I don't realize.
Though He is nearby, I don't catch sight;
I don't understand, I don't see why.

Blind infatuation had enveloped me;
Bereft of rhythm, wept had the psyche.
To remove the gloom, to infuse cadence,
Him I invite– why did He not arrive?

To just His rhythm romps the universe entire;
Why myself alone, rhythm-free I'll abide?
With only His splendor planets and stars smile;
Why does He not look in the direction mine?

Had I been fully awake

(2494)  Sei jhainjha bhara andhakare

In that same gloom, full of storm,
To my gate You had come.
Mind stupefied, being drowsy,
I did not invite inside, op'ning the door.

Standing with Your garments soaked You had been;
From storm-shivers You had trembled.
And yet sleep I did not break, rise and open gate;
Why then did You call me Your "most beloved"?

The whole watch You'd been waiting;
My faults had amassed tier after tier.
Why did You not wake me with flash of thunder
To please You by rendering service?

They tell: "My happiness has no limit–
Oh it has no limit, no limit."
With the One I am frenzied, I have loved the One only;
Except One I don't know another.

In nebula and galaxy, neath vernal breeze with honeyed scent,
On a gold chariot of realized hope, with just His omnipresence,
My holy endeavor circles round only Him.

I am yours in common, all of you are my beloved;
I took everybody's grief and load of pain upon my shoulders,
Don't delay, come on let's go to the realm skyward.

In monsoon, with typhoon and storm,
On new-moon night You'd come.
At meager hut with door bolted,
I had been asleep in seclusion.

By knock on door You shattered slumber;
Motioning me, out of doors You invited.
You said: "Come and laugh wholeheartedly;
Behold the earth in new form."

A tiny hut went and grew large;
The whole world became similar.
A nebula and stars turned intimate;
The mind got filled with flow of love.

Psyche unbridled, where does it go sailing?
Timidity's inertia remains not;
Sky-goose^[1] mine darts in pursuit, spreading wing.

What came, what left, news I keep not;
Who captured me, that too I know it not.
Straight in front I gaze, wholeheartedly a song I sing
To recognize the Unknown One in rhythm and melody.

I fly upon the firmament like a free bird;
With planet and stars I converse.
Taking everyone along, society I build;
Mind yearns to break the walls dividing.

As oft as I've lost melody,

My gloom is not perpetual;
Thrive specks of light, teeming in that.
Within just that, intrinsic Your acquaintance;
Smiling, You sail away to Elysium.

On a dark night

(2489)  Sei krsna rajanii esechilo

It had arrived that same night black;
Wrapped in darkness, it had cast.
I'd lost the way, but North Star came;
Caught was the target of a compass.

Any time I consider that night's tale,
Dazed, in a pit of fear, the pain...
How is it that angst for aid,
Your ear had heard that!

Your compassion cannot be forgotten;
With an unseen touch it provides a cradle...
Everybody comes and goes by Your wish;
Manifest had been this fact.

I find You amid misery

(2488)  Varsansnata ei sandhyay

On this same rain-washed evening,
With the screwpine pollen, love goes a-floating.
Leaping o'er the enclosure of known and unfamiliar,
Mind's peacock races toward infinity.

Today in the kadam bower swaying has begun;
In the bamboo grove, verdancy has come.
Grass brownish-red, a fresh green it has turned;
Inundating both banks, faraway the stream goes missing.

In a niche of home, seated alone, I go on singing;
None else be retained, it's You Whom I'd make hear.
Mid the sound of a rainstorm, I find a melody;
Outside and in, it brims over, greatly satisfying.

You arrived with dance-beats, in cadence after cadence;
Toward whom did You go away, I don't grasp.
At my pond of psyche, on the bank beyond language,
Why You had awakened, I don't understand.

On light's chariot, Lord, You alone are the coachman;
Heeding not day and date, You come, You go, You flash.
By Your immense gift, by affection's contribution,
A game-world You fashion.

You love everyone, Yourself everybody loves;
A sea of mercy, You've no peer in the seven worlds.
You exist, so I am; I survive on a stream of compassion;
Staying with me, You complete my endeavor.

Yourself does it covet.

Deep inside You smile sweetly.
For Your sake tears, they drip;

When the flute plays You don't speak, what's the sense?
For self-work, by greed-craze-fear-and-shame I had been
Rendered careless.

I stay waiting, ear to ground, mental sweetness coating;
All the incompleteness, with hues of You alone I'm hiding.
Everything You carried off but left the sound of bamboo reed;
That I can't forget!

That flute gave jolt in every niche of the worldly sphere;
That flute gave rhythm to the mind of everyone living.
Hooked on the tones, I've been engrossed by mode and melody;
Master, that's Your kindness!

Filling heart with fragrance-passion, I'm presenting;
I'm creating music neath a languid, southern breeze.
In a tune You gave, a reed flute full of sweetness,
I sing lyrics; You go on and listen.

Not a thing belongs to me; all is Yours, my Darling:
This world of beauty and this love reception-worthy.
You've remained diffused in all, with You everything is;
Please waken in the mind this consciousness.

Also consciousness You'd seized.

Raising a clang with strings of veena,

Though getting near, no more I got:
You demolished taste of dreaming.

With a dance beat rhythmic,
To my heart You are intrinsic.
You had been erupted
In a trice on a night menacing.

However much You tell to forget Yourself,

What is there today does not remain on the morrow;
What is sweet today, tomorrow it is sorrow.
What at present drives me crazy,
Later I don't gaze in that direction.

I know that always changing is this mundane realm;
It is neither falsehood nor the essence.
Close naught does stay due to motional propensity;
I won't forsake the Everlasting One.

Naught to fear, I won't talk.

To the floral nectar You've surrendered;
By the fresh leaves tender, You've been fastened.
You have let light's realm be filled;
Do You think I know it not?

Last word was, Yours is this cosmic sport;
But fathoming with intellect winds up tough.
Though mundane life floats on this same flow of liila,

You removed the veil from buds of flowers,
Made exude the vital pollen.

Any opposites, by fellowship became one.

The closed gates of mind were opened;
Through each orifice sweetness emerged.
Mingled with fondness were presence and dearth,
In my prayer and meditation.

Mem'ry to churn I don't desire.
For with that same pulsation, thrill of ideation,

Contemplating You alone, I forget privation;
Night and day I remain in jubilation.

A heady scent in this garden.

(2455)  Ami tomar name tomar gane

I, with Your name and with Your song,
A life will I complete.
Staying engaged in Your chores,
I will fill up psyche.

Coming and going is world's custom,
Along with remains Your love.
Always moving on Your course,
I'll obtain You only.

Wherever You bide, near or far,
Beneath eyes myself do guard.
Fetching You by pull of heart,
A song for You I'll sing.

Restoring what's been lost in plenitude

(2454)  Mandrita meghe uthechinu jege

Roused by rumbling clouds I had risen;
Darling, in new form Yourself I witnessed.
You are tinted with propitious color,
Throbbing like a fragrant kadam.

A stream heavenly You are diffusing;
Rugged desert You've made green.
Lifeless existence You are packing with vitality,
Infusing sense of consciousness into matter.

Summer's flame You are removing;
Dwindled river You have made replete.
With juice a sapless earth You're filling;
Darkness You are ridding with hope's lantern.
