Now that we've met

(2186)  Tumi dur ajanay theko na priya

Don't stay at a distance, Dear, at someplace unknown;
With You present I do wish.
Please take Your seat on splendor's throne;
The crown of mind I dress You in.

Please banish all my mundane interests,
Corruption of selfish motives.
The sludge of my narrowness,
Far aside let me set it.

Hey, my Hope Eternal,
A liking of rhythmic sweetness,
May its coming to the earth be fruitful.
I, just having obtained Thee,
I sing a song to You only, wholeheartedly.
