9 (o how may i ever)

I.104. aisa lo nahin taisa lo

 

O HOW MAY I ever express that secret word?

O how can I say He is not like this, and He is like that?

If I say that He is within me, the universe is ashamed:

If I say that He is without me, it is falsehood.

He makes the inner and the outer worlds to be indivisibly one;

The conscious and the unconscious, both are His footstools.

He is neither manifest nor hidden. He is neither revealed nor unrevealed:

There are no words to tell that which He is.

IN THIS moment I see you seated upon the morning's golden carpet.
The sun shines in your crown, the stars drop at your feet, the crowds come and bow to you and go, and the poet sits speechless in the corner.

খ্যাতি আছে সুন্দরী বলে তার
 Verses
খ্যাতি আছে সুন্দরী বলে তার,
ত্রুটি ঘটে নুন দিতে ঝোলে তার;
     চিনি কম পড়ে বটে পায়সে
     স্বামী তবু চোখ বুজে খায় সে--
         যা পায় তাহাই মুখে তোলে তার,
         দোষ দিতে মুখ নাহি খোলে তার।

NO MORE NOISY, loud words from me-such is my master's will. Henceforth I deal in whispers. The speech of my heart will be carried on in murmurings of a song.
Men hasten to the King's market. All the buyers and sellers are there. But I have my untimely leave in the middle of the day, in the thick of work.
Let then the flowers come out in my garden, though it is not their time; and let the midday bees strike up their lazy hum.
Full many an hour have I spent in the strife of the good and the evil, but now it is the pleasure of my playmate of the empty days to draw my heart on to him; and I know not why is this sudden call to what useless inconsequence!
