Even when apart

(3324) Tumi je amar kata apanar

You're the one who is mine, so much my own;
Before I did not know, today I've recognized.
You had been very close, but remote You went;
Held amid core of heart, kept have I.

In my heart had been an icy coldness;
Life-giving fire You let be fetched.
By a vital lamp with heat in winter,
I have filled memory with warm sunshine.

Still today You're not away, oh my Lord;
Even though I'm forgetful You never ignore.
The microcosmic resides amidst the Limitless;
That same 'I' is Your grace, I have realized.
