Can't do otherwise

(2400)  Dola diye gelo

Giving a shake, He went away;
Who is that Unknown Traveler?
In a trice He arrived from a site recondite;
He sailed off, having smiled for but a moment.

To get acquainted, never did I make an effort;
There had not been any tie of affection.
Of Him, also mind at no time ever thought;
And yet for a short while touch He granted.

I understood He is the closest of my kin,
The relative of soul, love's requisite ingredient.
After forgetting Him, everything becomes a burden;
Glowing in a gloomy heart is just that one gem.
