As if something's making me



(2962)  Tomay bhule thakite je cai

To stay Yourself forgot I crave;
Why that I can't, please do state...
Why mind turns back repeatedly;
Musing on You it remains.

At work during the day I think I'll leave
Upon a karmic sea amid people aplenty.
In gaps of activity, as if by whose scream,
Your tidings get relayed.

Fast asleep at night I think I am staying
Totally enveloped by darkness dense and deep.
By the flash of lightrays at each eye-blink,
Your affection is proclaimed.

The Supreme



(2961)  Malaya parashe kusuma suvase

Now, at touch of southern breeze and flower-scent sweet,
With mental glee the Bee intones.
That flow of song, with tune and tempo filled,
To far azure it moves afloat.

The scope also, it is not His;
And no time limit is supported.
His, the dance in beat and rhythm;
On both crest and trough ambrosia molts.

Glazing honey, come along with that Bee
In acquaintance and perplexity, external and at deeps.
Clutching constantly, Him I hold in thinking
Such that missing never He does go.

We meet in mind, You guide across



(2960)  Nandanavane manoloke

At paradise in mind-sphere, do appear,
Inundating heart-core with exciting rhythm,
With smiling face sweet and charming.

In Your contemplation, the days go away;
Nights are spent with just Your tale.
On Earth Your superb beauty pervades,
A zest for life with each eye-blink.

This mind of mine is Your accomplishment;
This life, it chants Your triumph's anthem.
Pride having forgotten, on Your way I travel,
Surpassing imagination in the realm of psyche.

When will my Darling arrive?



(2959)  Se bale giyechilo asibe

He'd left, telling He'll arrive;
Why did He come not?
In a dark home, light will ignite;
But afresh He looked not.

Upon nor'wester's night,
A lamp has got extinguished, the wind by.
Darkness having made bright,
Sighting He permitted not.

Alone in gloom I've stayed waiting;
Each minute and second I've kept counting.
Still now this my numeration,
Its end happened not.

Begging mercy



(2958)  Bhul kare tumi esecho

Erroneously You've arrived;
At my door You've appeared.
Poor and needy am I very;
There is nothing at my dwelling
To proclaim welcome to Thee.

I could not decorate the building;
Naught have I, Yourself to please.
An empty heart beseeches;
Please come inside, forgiving deficiency.

Abloom the mind's lotus have I kept;
Into it I have poured a sweet scent.
You please grant it touch, graciously;
Alike unto the moon and moonbeams.

Just between You and me



(2957)  Asha niye achi bence

With hope am I living;
On eyelids hope is replete.
All my hope satisfying,
Day and night, stay with me.

In a world devoid of light,
Except for You, black is all entire.
Whatever by surmise feels fine,
Also that, into the gloom it sinks.

Before my eyes, Lord, please appear,
Upon those dreamy lotus feet.
Whisper words into my ear;
On earth will know nobody.

My love is unrequited



(2956)  Nam janina paricay janina

Name I don't know, particulars I know not;
But I've loved You nonetheless.
Do You know it not?
I have gone on calling You, kindness I've begged;
Could You hear my plight or not?

On the new-moon night, impenetrably dense,
Under sweet moonlight, ray-dripping and love-laden,
I have called night and day, in meditation I have craved;
I have kept performing Your sadhana.

I have yearned for You on happy days;
With bad dreams I have pined on nights of pain.
I've known that I am Yours and imagined You are mine;
To forget this I cannot.
