That which we get unasked

না চাহিলে যারে পাওয়া যায়
na chahile jare pawa jay

That which we get unasked
That which rejected, still comes back
That wealth I lost in daylight
To find it in the darkness of night

The one beyond sight
The one beyond touch
Surrender your life to that one
And awaken!
The stars above echo that voice
It blooms in flowers of the morning

Many a tear I shed for it
On the lotus seat of learning*
They ripple and brim over the lotus petals

In many a song of mine
In each and every moment
It shines and dazzles in flashes
In kindly light of a calm smile
I see it glimmer and glow

*The Hindu Goddess of Learning Saraswati is visualized as sitting on a lotus
