When He takes a body

(2623)  Arup ratan tumi rupe esecho

Formless Gem, in form You have appeared;
And You have been filling up the depths of psyche.
You have broken time-place-and-person's^[1] railing;
You've received and made Your own everybody.

You don't want anything, You have simply given;
You alone are the moon on everyone's mind-firmament.
In a bud and in a petal, the honey is hidden;
But in life You have been upgushing.

Oh I cannot forget You, no, not a bit;
In ever-new beauty, the earth You embellish.
Anywhere I look Your splendor, it flashes;
Yourself, You've not managed to conceal.
