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.
