Not just an ancient yarn

(3163)  Varasa rate ei varasa rate andhar dharate

On a rainy night like this same rainy night, on dark Earth
A foot did You let fall?
I know You reside in mind, I recognize the king of my mind;
You came outside for what cause?

The external water-stream, within tears it went missing;
Outside a crowd of clouds, in the mind a lightning-series,
None of these accept prohibition.

The water of mind's Jamuna, o'er both banks it spills
From happiness impatient, restless and effusive,
Each moment in search of Gokul's shore.
