With You in mind

(3200)  Manera gabhire cupisare

Into the depths of mind stealthily,
Who are You that entered...
Myself let be told, please tell me.
With smiling face in psychic deeps,
Kissing the lokas seven.
Some tune did You go on singing,
In what melody?

Down to earth came a luster heavenly;
Minds You filled with moonlight sweet.
Atoms and molecules You made dance for everybody,
Preferential treatment rejecting.

You exist and so the world has persevered;
You've infused the universe with a sweet humming.
From floral laughter sweetness has seeped;
Severed has been time's prospect gloomy.

Dare I aspire

(3199)  Jharer rate andharete

On a stormy night, in the absence of light,
Amid the bower I had cried.
To speak about and understand the pain,
No one had been to me nigh.

Many boughs, broken, have declined;
Dropped down have the young buds slight.
Fruits and blooms have fallen aside,
On tree after tree with mournful sigh.

In my pleasure-garden of mind,
At storm's end with a wind that's mild,
On conclusion of the dark and destructive night,
Will You arrive in charming attire?

Can nothing be easy?

(3198)  Madhur tomar parasha lagi

For the sake of Your sweet touch,
I am looking toward the path of advent.
Drowsiness renounced, I'm forlorn;
The time I spend counting moments.

The garland, when it was placed upon neck,
Its flowers onto dust You let be shed.
The mind You filled with fondness,
That too, is it dragged down afresh?

Hard it is to comprehend Your methodology–
One minute, a load of grief; the next, a gemmed wreath.
Endless and immense is every little thing;
When and what You will do, does anybody guess?

In summation

(3197)  Citanandan manorainjan

Psyche's Delight, the Mind-Pleaser,
I have wished You near,
In my heart's inner sphere,
Amid each and every agony.

At daybreak with the blossoms of morning,
With smiling petals' manifestation emerging,
Laughter and love, desire and driving ambition,
They are in all my deeds.

Mine I did not want to make Thee;
Rather, I have wanted to give You my everything.
I have gone on saying: Please come, my Moon,
In ever-novel clothing.

Even on my deathbed

(3196)  Vrajer gopal hariye geche

Gopal of Vraj, missing has He gone.
In mental Vraj Him I seek,
But spent has been illumination;
Ideation's lamp, just that is the savings.

Days come and go, but me He does not behold;
He notes everything, but nothing He makes known.
The date is sealed, my Welcome Guest is free;
From Him liberation I entreat.

Only unfamiliar stays the Traveler Mysterious;
Even when coming close, knowing Him is tough.
And yet amid existence, through the gaps of thought,
This too might it be: a sneak peek He goes on giving?

By Your compassion

(3195)  Maner gopal manete rayecho, manabhumi kare alokita

Heart's Gopal, You've remained in psyche,
The mental sphere illuminating,
With sweet touch and sweet delight,
Desired by mind's honeybee.

At Your feet are the seven realms;
By Your cogitation Nature is besotted.
In Your eyes is a love unmerited,
Extending from the heavens to Hades.

As if You're not, I don't find a region;
For You there is no time inauspicious.
Dancing to just Your rhythm is everyone,
Supported by Your Ideology.

You are just pretending

(3194)  Madhur tomar lagi

For the sake of sweet Thee,
Hope's lamp am I lighting.
To extent this lamp-flame is motionless,
The grimace of impediment goes on trampling.

To move on, all in this world are restless;
Full of sweetness, You are ever-abiding.
Everybody comes and goes in just Your current.
Triumphant over time, You comprise the tiny.
You had been, are at present, and will stay resident,
In and beyond time, all-pervading.

Form and flavor and tones collectively,
Touch and scent– all of them, Your making.
By way of these five, in Play having forgotten,
Sportive Gopal is ignoring.

Your bazaar cosmic

(3193)  Carana dhariya vinati kari

Catching feet do I stoop–
Me, Lord, don't forget;
A dust-mote, I am Your iota tiny.
Existence suffusing, I remember You–
I cannot forget You ever;
No dilemma mine, there's no quandary.

In fire and wind is Your majesty;
In sky and hell, Your subtlety.
Your limit, there is nothing;
In one and all, Your meaning.

I am trite, You are immense;
Confined am I, You are Godhead.
Amid formless is there form's market?
You go on sketching incessantly.

Everything is but Your song

(3192)  Tomari deoya sure tomari bhasa bhare

Just Your language filled with melody given by You only,
Hey Lord, on account of Thee, I have sung a song.
In it to claim as my own there is not a thing;
By only Your prowess is this, Your great action.

When bewitched, I've drifted, errantly attached to worldly,
Due to vanity's illusion within my psyche.
At that time only You, You provided clarity:
Nothing have I, any feat to perform.

You've given a floral wreath, a bundle of affection,
Sixteen articles of worship^[1] and a veena's hum.
You told: "Go on viewing, but look inside";
Want or not, this is Your gift of compassion.

Remember: you are His beloved

(3191)  Kamal kali niirava kena

Oh lotus bud, why are you speechless?
To Me inmost secrets kindly utter.
Why do tears fall upon petals?
At heart-core Who has distressed?

Having gotten plagued by gales aplenty
Coming down on you through waves stormy,
What all does it to a life-force weak?
To Me that information pray tell.

Daybreak's sun confers light-beams;
The setting full moon gleams with oral faculty.
Bumblebee having arrived, what's He saying?
Cherished one, it is sweetness.

In case You don't remember me

(3190)  Tumi eso tumi eso, amar ghare

Come You, please do arrive
At my dwelling.
With a steadfast gaze hope's lamp shines
For the sake of Thee.

In dream I find Your vision;
Even wakened it is You I think of.
Traced is Your stripe of love
Upon everybody.

Even though forgot, I cannot forget;
You remain at core of heart in thought dense.
With sweetness You keep coated
The cosmos complete.

Our song is private

(3189)  Je gan chilo mane gaoya

The song had been sung within mind;
That, I sang not amid concert.
Stashed was kept hope and desire;
Abashed, I did not express.

Inner secrets You perceive;
To heart You listen and pay heed.
King of Psyche, there's not any
Indecision in Your presence.

After concert having exited,
All trace of song at an end,
The song unsung arises and I listen.
In a jewel-luster's raiment,
With hope swaying, shame forgotten,
For Your grace only it begs.

Everywhere

(3188)  Tumi bhese calo priya kon se deshe

In which region, Dear, do You go floating?
In the flower garden at everyone's inmost psyche.
In sky-kissing mountain's frosty snow-heaps,
And in form after form, each one momentarily.

Contemplating You, myself lose I;
From Your flame I ignite the lamp of life.
I sing a song from memory of love Thine,
From heart's tug, having forgotten vanity.

On my mental sky You alone are the moon;
Honey does Your moonlight's splendor exude.
Love, the Bliss-Maker too, it's just You,
Recognized through all earnest longing.

Absolutely unique

(3187)  Tiirthapati tumi bhare acho manobhumi

Owner of holy sites entire, You are the mind-realm;
A person qualified as You, it can't be imagined.
Master of the seven spheres, You've stayed kissing consciousness;
A sage like unto You, one more does not exist.

In a world beyond speech, a place of radiant thought,
You go on witnessing everything, coated by kohl of love.
Your equal is not there, Yourself do we all desire;
No taboo is heeded by the mind effusive.

In abstract Mathura at a deep niche of heart,
On mental stream of consciousness with frantic implication,
Invisibly thrilled You smile, to everyone with love You float;
In the whole cosmos, You have no equivalent.

This body comes with limitation

(3186)  Nrtyer tale tale marmer upakule

With many a dance beat upon inmost shore,
Who are You that came today; my heart brims over.
Deep within my sensation, in each layer of thought,
Psyche is inundated, it is made awash.

One cannot know or fathom a person's border;
Away from inner midst the inner self is swung.
My sense of self I forget, I ignite desire's fuel;
In effect, unto mind I sacrifice transcendent.

Language finds no place at existential depths;
Amid sensations, I see, lost also is existence.
Expressed or unexpressed, kissing seven realms are You;
This alone can be said: You descend with consciousness.

Their rhapsody

(3185)  Bhalabasiyachi tomare ceyechi

I have loved, Yourself have I wanted
In my mental casket.
Proximate You come not, far off why do You bide;
Even realized, my hope You don't comprehend.

Remaining afar, why do You go on smiling;
Even the sweetness in honey You conceal.
In light and dark through Game You're hiding;
Understanding You became a challenge.

Age after age whatever yogiis have come,
They've remained circled by Your thought.
Atom and molecule, nebula and star,
They sing accolade to Your love current.

Whether or not You answer me

(3184)  Deke jai sara nahi pai

I go on calling, I don't get a reaction;
What a severe heart, so stern a heart!
Sometimes You come close, else remote You grin;
Such a cosmic sport, oh such affectation!

To dance-beat You float on high;
In rows of waves upon my ocean-tide.
A life of dangling on the coast, on the shoreline;
The tale Your sweetness reports!

You are in every age, at every season You abide;
With memories gone missing, with fate of bad times.
In presence and in dearth, at bedrock of all entire
Blended stays Your stream of love.

Through surrender is the path of bliss

(3183)  E dhulir dharaniite

Upon this earth dusty
There is just preference and fondness.
You're the arbiter of bliss,
All tears and laughter at Your behest.

Pouring light into the mind of everybody,
Having decorated every grove florally,
You go on floating to the fore directly;
instilling amid heart-core confidence.

Rapid One upon a chariot of gold-rayed beauty,
The Unknown Traveler on a path of mystery,
Along with sweetness You continue sailing,
Giving tongue to the glum visage speechless.

Worldly attractions do not bind

(3182)  Pathapane ceye basiya achi

Looking toward the path I am seated;
Come, oh Darling, to my dwelling.
Renouncing drowsiness alert have I been,
Under moonlight's sorcery.

Dearest One, Earth's ambrosial essence,
Among those near and dear, the most intimate,
Having rid my narrowness,
Like a tree in the desert do appear.

Cosmic vitality and honey of a bud,
The full moon on blue sky of autumn,
Just Yourself alone the psychic bee,
In this very world, wants to go on viewing.

A game so strange

(3181)  Ganer mala ganthiyachi

A wreath of song threaded have I
For You, the Most Darling.
Yes You will come, and You will smile;
Unrivaled One, You will hold dear.

With light and shadow is Your sport;
Your cosmic drama on a lyre of thunder.
You launch my bubble's coracle
Like clump of grass upon Your prosody.

In the dramatic flow everyone You set adrift;
But You go on clutching the nature of liila's flavor.
When You are form-free, what is it You wish
From my heart-core? Kindly make clear.

The circle of life

(3180)  Tumi esechile alo dhelechile

You'd arrived, You'd poured out light;
You'd observed with open eyes.
On dusty earth, by sweetness of mind,
A flower, You had made it rise.

Nectar of my pollen Earth has received;
Upon Your advent finished has all yearning.
Silently, in seclusion, in a niche of heart mine,
Spreading seat You did alight.

Off went all thought of duality,
My sense of distinction between tiny and lofty.
By One becoming many, from One to many thereby,
Your own self You'd publicized.

A spiritual nature can turn into conceit

(3179)  Virat tumi anu ami

You are enormous, I am an atom;
Why upon me is there pride?
I have cried, and I have called;
I've done meditation Thine.

In Your devotion I've been absorbed;
On ambrosial fluid have I swum.
With Your thought I've ignored
All fatigue and any slight.

I have moved on the path and off;
But I’ve kept You at my front.
You alone I've taken notice of;
Just Your song I've vocalized.
