Even when You don't speak

(2863)  Jyotsna rate alokapate

On moonlit night with fall of light,
Stealthily You'd arrived.
By mantra's implication for latent consciousness,
You woke the honeybee of mind.

Oh Lover from afar, blue firmament's moon,
You had forgotten me, please say why.

I've kept musing on You at a mental paradise;
In Your meditation I had been, day and night.
Why did You not come, why did You not love;
What had been the gain in making sport divine?

Even though with delay, nearby You've appeared;
Although You spoke not, You have smiled tenderly.
With tune from Your anklets and lower lip made bright,
Full of love, You play a reed pipe.
