He came and sat beside me

সে যে পাশে এসে বসেছিল
shey je pashey eshey boshechhilo
(Tagore's own translation)

He came and sat beside me
Yet awaken I did not
Wrapped you were in which slumber
Oh poor unfortunate one
He came in silence of night
The Veena gracing His hands
In my dream He played a tune
A deep soulful melody

Woke to feel the southern breeze
Maddened it raced to and fro
His fragrance floating around
Suffusing the deep darkness
Why does my night go by so
Having close it cannot hold
Blessed touch of His garland
How could my heart miss it so
