My Old Friend

(2205)  Praner pradiip saunge niye

Bearing life's lantern,
On this earth oh Who appeared?
To forget You, it cannot succeed.
In ample prosody You've got scattered,
Smiling sweetly with exquisite beauty.

Through affection You attract everyone
To a stream of melody blithesome.
You dwell in the mind space impervious,
But incarnate are You in majesty.

At some ancient past You had come;
Love's receptacle, You'd been poured.
Stir to thought, yes You brought;
Then on earth You went in hiding.
