All have come with such hope (এসেছে সকলে কত আশে দেখো চেয়ে)
All have come with such hope
Do take a look O Lord
They all call out to you
Do come near, among us
We will enclose you all around
We will revel in festivity
We will plunge into a sea of joy
My heart is painted with the colour of dusk (এবার রঙিয়ে গেল হৃদয়গগন সাঁঝের রঙে)
My heart is painted with the colour of dusk
My thoughts are soaked in the colour of dusk
I have a premonition
The wayfarer will come home at the end of day
The colour of dusk will make complete
The auspicious moment of homecoming
The breeze from the sea into which sinks the sun Lulls me with each moment into lassitude When the wayfarer comes to my door Bearing the scent of jasmine flowers I will be stirred awake from my sleep Awash in the colour of dusk
My sorrow has sailed across a boundless sea (এবার দুঃখ আমার অসীম পাথার)
My sorrow has sailed across a boundless sea
It has now come to rest at your feet
And found the essence of joy
For so long have my tears flowed, unbridled
Why they flowed, I had not a clue
Who strung them together today
In a garland of teardrops for you
Your evening star beckoned to me as darkness descended
My heart pined for you but could not find a voice For so long was it silent in bashful shame It sings out today at your touch Like a string on the Veena you play
One day he will recognise her (একদিন চিনে নেবে তারে)
One day he will recognise her
She who uncared for is diffident and shy
The radiance of the youthful sun will dispel the dark shroud
The dark fog of illusion will not conceal her anymore
Recognise her, he will
Let her wreathe a garland today
A garland of her tears from sorrowful nights
He will come one day, lift her garland to his bosom
She who remains ever unknown
Let her light her lamp for that moment of revelation
Recognise her, he will
This rain-soaked monsoon day (এই শ্রাবণ-বেলা বাদল-ঝরা)
This rain-soaked monsoon day
Filled with the fragrance of juthi flowers
She roves the dense woods, nook to nook
Wearing a veil of shadows
I seem to know her from a time forgotten
She who pines, estranged from her beloved
Why do I stare at the desolate road
What if she comes all of a sudden to my door
In the darkness of the clouded evening
She sings a song so heart-overwhelming
You sit alone, lost in thought (একলা ব’সে একে একে অন্যমনে)
You sit alone, lost in thought
You let float the lotus flowers
One by one into the water
For no rhyme or reason
You seem to have forgotten
It was me who had plucked the flowers in the morn
And left them at your feet for no reason
Unmindfully, you picked them up when you left
One after another my days in this way
Will be plucked and torn at your hands
They will scatter and get lost
And when they will all be gone
As you keep at your play, languid and heedless
Maybe then a tinge of pain will cloud the evening for no reason
A drop of tear will film the eyes, unmindfully
This nest of dark soil (এই-যে কালো মাটির বাসা)
This nest of dark soil, this verdant earth of joy
This is where we rove, in darkness and light
Much like a dream
In her heart, hidden from sight
Is a heavenly realm of pain
Luminous with sadness
The one who pines for you
Sits there alone
Her heart calls out your name
Every now and then
When sadness unites you two
Then will be the realm of joy
Overflowing with bliss
This veil will lift (এ আবরণ ক্ষয় হবে গো ক্ষয় হবে)
This veil will lift, it will lift
This mind and body will fill
With a sublime joy
My eyes will be free of illusory shadows
My heart will bloom with flowers
You O Lord will triumph over this life
My blood will pulse to the rhythm of the universe
My heart will beat with exuberant lifeforce
It will quiver to the strings of your lute
It will sway with your garland of stars
It’s desires will scatter and dissipate
E je mor aboron (এ যে মোর আবরণ)
This veil that clouds me
Can vanish in a trice
A breath can blow it away
If you will it so
If I lie on the earth
With my face in the dirt
You stay awake at the door
Is this your pledge?
Awaken me with the sound of your chariot
Come in all your glory
Be gone my slumber
May I know you as my Lord
Let me rush to the door
And surrender myself at your feet
Do remove this veil of illusion (এ মোহ-আবরণ খুলে দাও)
Do remove this veil of illusion
Let my eyes have their fill
Let them sight your beautiful face Do lay your gaze upon my heart
This necklace of gems and stones is not for me (এ মণিহার আমায় নাহি সাজে)
This necklace of gems and stones is not for me
It hurts to put it on, it pains to tear it off
My words get stuck, I lose my tune
My mind is in a dilemma
It cannot focus on work
And so I sit and muse
If I could give you this necklace
I would be free
You welcome me with a string of flowers
I feel embarrassed to show my face
Ashamed of my necklace of gems and stones

Where does this path go, o where
Who knows, who knows
Beyond which mountain, beside which sea
Staring ahead in what foreboding
Who knows, who knows
Who goes to and fro on this path

What is her voice like
How does she smile
Who does she search for
Who knows, who knows
What is this eagerness on earth (একি আকুলতা ভুবনে)
What is this eagerness on earth
What is this restlessness in the air
What is this sweet pleasantness
That drifts beneath the space beyond
The moon beams down such a smile
The flowers spray such a fragrance
All creatures of this universe awaken In such heartfelt love today From where does a caress of pleasure Stroke the blue canopy above The flowers and forests thrill in delight A soft melody from a flute rings out My heart blooms with beautiful dreams
This joyous evening today (আজি এ আনন্দসন্ধ্যা)
This joyous evening today blossoms with beauty
In the soft breeze across the sky

The sky speaks out its heart (আজ আকাশের মনের কথা ঝরো ঝরো বাজে)
The sky speaks out its heart
In pitter patter raindrops today
My heart beats to that tune throughout the day
The shadow of clouds creep across
The dark waters of the lake
The breeze sings of an ancient ache from another epoch
My heart beats to that tune throughout the day
Alone I sit by the dark casement
To each other we speak, the sky and I
Words from faded memories
Like the soft rustling of leaves
Ring out in a soft dewy melody
In the evening alive with the chirp of crickets
My heart beats to that tune throughout the day

You are evermore deep within (আছ অন্তরে চিরদিন)
You are evermore deep within
Why do I still weep
Why can’t I see your glow

Why do I still drift away on the sea of death
O supreme joyous
When you are my lord
Why do I wander off on the way

You wiped my tears mother (আঁখিজল মুছাইলে জননী)
You wiped my tears mother
Your affection knows no bounds
Blessed you are, blessed is your compassion
You looked out for the one orphaned
You drew close the one begrimed
None who come in search of sweetness
Is ever turned away from your door
I have seen today your loving smile I have found the shade at your feet There is nothing more to ask for My wish is fulfilled, my heartache gone

Troop after troop of clouds beckon (আকাশতলে দলে দলে মেঘ যে ডেকে যায়)
Troop after troop of clouds beckon
As they march across the horizon
“Come, come, come”
An excitement ripples through
Rose-apple woods and mango groves
“Coming, we are coming”
The branches tingle in thrill
A wish to fly up and away
Awakens amidst the leaves
Along the river time and again
Beckon the clouds “come, come, come”
Kaash flowers stir in response
“Coming, we are coming”
In harmony with the song of clouds Glide the boats with their sails unfurled

Why do I not hear your voice O Lord (কেন বাণী তব নাহি শুনি নাথ)
Why do I not hear your voice O Lord
Blessing this blind with sight
You leave her then in darkness
In sad separation from you
Pass by night and day
If to evanesce like a dream
Why give me cognition
Only a glimpse in a flash
And heartache for a lifetime
I look at myself and see
A waterfall of tears
If this life awakens anew at your touch
Why baffle it with the jab of deathly arrows
Crush my arrogance, fill my heart with love Take my heart and mind, keep me with you

With a drumroll across the sky (বাদল-মেঘে মাদল বাজে গুরুগুরু)
The clouds announce themselves
With a drumroll across the sky
My heart sways to the deep sound
Her own rhythm brings forth oblivion
Where was it, deep within
The secret pain in a secret song
It unfurls and fans out
In rain soaked breeze
To verdant forest shades
All around in many a song

The minstrel-cloud plays his lute (বাদল-বাউল বাজায় রে একতারা)
The minstrel-cloud plays his lute
A day long stream of pitter patter pit
Intoxicated by his own tune
He dances around and drains himself
In paddy fields and rose-apple woods
Dreadlocks of dense clouds
Pile up on the darkening sky
Pitter patter on the leaves
Peal out like anklet bells
Distracted by an alluring tune
Luring one away from home
The east wind wanders bereft

Guarding your silence

A kaleidoscope of words
Your love weaves them into songs

From the endless world
Dweller of the endless world

Pausing in your peeving pursuit

to her fearless grace
This is where you feel instant gratification,

The sky has kept your space (আকাশে তোর তেমনি আছে ছুটি)
The sky has kept your space
Let your wings no more laze
O little bird,
Beneath the dense foliage
Your nest entices and entraps
The night makes a false claim
Of never loosening it’s grip
Do you not know in which hope
You sing out in the daze of sleep In the heart of dawn’s darkness
The hope of light plays a deep melody
The hope of light cannot stay hidden
It unfastens the fetters of the cinched bud
In the lap of winter woodlands (শীতের বনে কোন্ সে কঠিন আসবে ব’লে)
In the lap of winter woodlands
Shefali flowers fall and fade
In fear of the coming harshness
Amlaki bowers look bereft
Having shed their leafy weave
The laughter of Kaash flowers
Depart in the wafting wind
Not willing to endure
A disquiet amid the green
The passion flower pales
Forsaking her colourful sheen
The north wind is here to reign
He prepares for austerities
At whose behest is this game
To shed off frills and fancies
Category Nature – Prokriti, Winter – Sheet
The winter wind has set astir (শীতের হাওয়ার লাগল নাচন)
The winter wind has set astir
A dance in the Amlaki* bowers
The leaves with a tingle and thrill
Flutter down and fall to the beat
A fly-away frenzy springs in
And leaves her bereft at last
Her bounty of fruit remain
No longer hidden from view
For whom it is mere play
To purge and replenish
I wait for her all day
A caressing chill now and then
Passes me a summons as if
The time to relinquish my all
When will it come, in which morning
Category Nature – Prokriti, Winter – Sheet
The steadfast eyes (অনিমেষ আঁখি সেই কে দেখেছে)
Who has seen those steadfast eyes
The eyes that gaze at the world
The sun, moon, stars and planets
Laying sight on those eyes
Never lose their bearings
Why alarmed by darkness
Do I wander and wail?
Why do I not look into
My heart’s firmament?
Those eyes stay awake
An abiding flame
Perchance masked by
The fog of Samsara

Cast your raft into the boundless sea (অনন্তসাগরমাঝে দাও তরী ভাসাইয়া)
Cast your raft into the boundless sea
Gone are joy and woe, gone is all hope
Stretches on the night ahead
For us wayfaring two
Stretches out the sea ahead
Where to without a clue
Serene is the sea, boundless the shores
Calm blue waters melting into the vacant blue
Not a whisper, not a sound
All silent, as if by a charm
Night approaches slowly
Embracing all with both arms
I know he comes forth (সে যে বাহির হল আমি জানি)
I know he comes forth
I hear his voice in my heart
The sky is abuzz with whispers
The when and where of his sojourns
At the seashore, in the forest yonder
Too bad I’ve set up home so far away How long a path he’ll have to take I splay my heart all over the trail May his footsteps tread upon my pain
That is what I wish (সেই তো আমি চাই–shei to aami chaai)
That is what I wish
I do not fret for an end to my arduous effort
I do not quest for the fruit of my action
Who can bear that unbearable load
As soon as it bears fruit, I let it go to dust
To begin afresh from a nascent bud
Thus is my life beset with eager yearning
With each new effort, ever a new agony I expend what I receive and seek yet again
The giving never ends and so I go on taking

You stir me awake from my dream (স্বপন যদি ভাঙিলে রজনীপ্রভাতে)

Open the doors of my room And summon me to your abode

Do come today O Lord (স্বামী, তুমি এসো আজ অন্ধকার হৃদয়মাঝে)
Do come today O Lord into my heart steeped in darkness
I feel ashamed, tarnished with guilt, I call out to you
My heart cries out, my mind knows no peace
I cannot see the road engulfed in my own darkness

Futile is the transient love that fades time and again
My heart is scorched in pain
My eyes overflow with tears
My thirst for earthly enjoyment Consumes me like a vile poison

Let it wash away from my body all dishonour
Let it’s gurgling flow drown all commotion

You made me surrender (হার মানালে গো, ভাঙিলে অভিমান)
You made me surrender
You crushed my sentimental pride
The flickering lamps I feebly lit
Have been shattered into pieces
Light up now your luminous stars
End this twilight of many hued shadows
Come my friend of the beyond
The winds waft in from the road
The lights in my home flicker out
To this desolate wharf edging a deep darkness This act on the stage where all is lost I have brought this song of mine
Category Devotion – Puja
I offer to you a garland woven in surrender (হার-মানা হার পরাব তোমার গলে)
I offer to you a garland woven in surrender
I can no longer keep myself away in self-delusion
I know my sentimental pride will be swept away
My heart will shatter in acute pain
Emptied, it will sing out like a flute
My tears will erode even stone
The lotus petals will unfurl one by one
The honeyed sweetness will not be withheld
Whose gaze will beckon to me from the skies
Call me away from home in silence Nothing will remain, nothing at all
I will attain ultimate oblivion at your feet

Why has the smile left your eyes (হাসি কেন নাই ও নয়নে)

The wild vines beseech you to talk to them

For whom does your heart ache
Whose dreams steep your heart so

My heart is too delicate (হৃদয় মোর কোমল অতি)
My heart is too delicate
It cannot bear the sunshine
When touched by light
It curls up in fearful shyness
When a bee alights beside me
My eyes drop shut in dread
I wish to wither and fall
Down into the earth
In distressed shame
When nudged by the breeze
My petals quiver and fall
So I hide my frame in a veil of leaves
I will pour my fragrance
Into the dark deep woods
I will wither and die
In the lap of these woods

Why do you go far away

In this celebration of youth
Do let yourself be seen
For my eyes to behold

The whole day comes to naught (হেলাফেলা সারা বেলা)
The whole day comes to naught
What is this game I play with myself
Whose face do I recall
In the flower scented breeze
Who knows whose smile
Flutters across my sight
Leaving behind a teardrop
In the corner of my eyes
Who is it in stoic indifference
Plays a languorous tune
Beneath which yonder shade
Wails as if an aching heart
In the song of the flute
All day long I string my song
For whom sings my heart
Like a shadow I sit
Beneath a tree in the garden
Category Love – Prem
Divulge your face now (এবার অবগুণ্ঠন খোলো)
Divulge your face now.
As the magic of opaque clouds and soft shades in the forests complete their loot.
Reveal your soul-secrets with whispers of the night, Shiuli-fragrant, vivid in mature moonlight.
Allow your tearfulness to marry a demure smile,
a rendezvous, somehow unfold in the flute-like savory Madhabi wilderness.
Discover a new rhythm of love: tryst, intermittent with yearning
to dance by, in the dewy breeze, in the florid web of shade and light.

Keep aside everything
And lift your gaze to him
Bow down at his feet in silence

I pass the midnight hours alone
His flute rings out in the dark
My eyes do not see him
The one you evaded
Can your eyes now find him?
However much you roam the roads
How will you now find him
The one you let go from your home
