We tied together parcels of Kash,

 (amra bedhechhi kasher guchchha)

আমরা  বেঁধেছি কাশের গুচ্ছ


We tied together parcels of
Kash, we made necklaces with the Shefali--

we brought paddy blossoms for offering..

Please arrive Autumn goddess, in clouds as if transparent chariots,

Arrive through clear blue pathways,

Arrive through cleansed green dazzling-forests-and-mountains--

Arrive with a floral crown of white lotus drenched in cool morning dew..

In the Maloti flowers on the ground

In the privacy of the woods seated near the Ganges banks

The swans look for a place to fold their wings at your feet.

Do make some musical murmur with your golden lute

through mellow sighs,

Pour smiling melodies through brief tears.

Time and again the touchstone that sparkles in your hair-do

Momentarily let that solemn melody soften the thoughts--

All thoughts, turn golden all darkness turn into light..


** Kash -- a white fluffy flower that blossoms in Autumn.

** Shefali -- a white fragrant flower that blossoms in Autumn.

** Maloti -- a white flower that blossoms in Autumn.

Where trophies are bestowed in the universe

Where trophies are bestowed in the universe

How can my conscious mind reach you there?.

In golden pots the sun and stars scoop up light showers,

Infinite life extends throughout the sky..

At your seat, as the giver

How can my conscious mind reach you there.

With ever new fresh aliveness you unfold, 

Will I never be asked to join you there through my life?.

You walk where the humble live

 (jethay thake sabar adham.)
যেথায় থাকে সবার অধম দীনের হতে দীন 

You walk where the humble live
ones that came last, stood low -- lost nearly everything.

As I salute you my salutations stop short
Failing to recognize the abuse you lived with among
ones that came last, stood low -- lost nearly everything.

There isn't any pride in your neighborhood 
Where you live ill-dressed with 
ones that came last, stood low -- lost nearly everything.

I look for you in the company of the rich, the famous,
My heart can not touch the humility
as you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 
ones  that came last, stood low -- lost nearly everything.

Please the faithful deeds

(sarthak karo sadhan santwan karo.)

সার্থক কর’ সাধন

Please the faithful deeds
Quench the earth's yearning
life-giving force, quench all lack
with your abiding rich benevolence.
Let the blossoms open up
Fashion the Magnolia vines with floral offering.
Tailor their songs into lovely silent prayers
with your abiding rich benevolence.
With your mellow stride 
turn the grains of forest-dust
softly green.
Melt the hidden iciness
with your abiding rich benevolence.

Have I known or have I not

(bujhechhi ki bujhi nai.)
বুঝেছি কি বুঝি নাই বা সে তর্কে কাজ নাই

Have I known or not
I will not contend along these lines.
Whatever it was made me happy 
is all I have to say.

In the dawn-sky everything looks reborn
As if I am facing a timeless being I don't recognize.

As I busy myself with regular chores
I listen to the wafting notes
which present me with a mellow distraction.

Somewhere within
I am not sure when a footfall happens.
It is a discovery.

Wake, awake song of mine

  jag jag re jag sangit. 

জাগ' জাগ' রে জাগ' সঙ্গীত 

Wake, awake song of mine sending ripples through my pulse.
deepen joy flicker the rays of your love into my heart.

Free the thrall of the seven notes and let them travel the world.
Let them send a note of joy to the sky and stars.

Make the rhythms string the necklace around kindred hearts.
Fill the sky with The Source's tunes in this grand celebration.
