How long were You planning this?

(2405)  Andharer bandha cire

Ebony's bondage rending,
Advent of effulgence
Had been in which antiquity;
Of it was there no day or moment?

Mid that very paucity
What work were You doing?
Were You in a formless clothing?
Did You have no intent?

Had You been in depths of dream?
In those deeps a flute were You playing?
And with that same tune, did You bring
Awakening of existence?
