Translation:

You visited me on the painful nights, but did not come to share my joys.
You could not be known by the trickery of intellect but by the tears of heart alone.

The spring brought the beauty of flowers; I prepared Items for your worship,
You could not be realized with any offerings,
but only with sincere surrender of the anguished heart.

In the frivolous playfulness and glittering, I did not seek You.
Yet I received Your grace, on the darkest night of the new moon.

Shubho chetonay priti dotonay

Onuporomanu majhe he chiro achho jogote
Kalatito kalgoto proti prohore

Translation:

Oh beloved, You came to my mind, with blessed loving spirit.
Surging waves of the Jomuna (river) of my mind, dancing away,
You guide them upstream.

You are always in the Brindaban of devotees mind.
You always listen to the stories of all.
All sentiments and actions are within Your mind.
You fill all hearts.

(While) In Your liila, You are beyond all liila,
You surround (witness) all individually and collectively.
You are eternally present in the deepest existence of all
You are beyond time, in movement of time, at all times.

Translation :

(From PrabhatSamgiita.net)

You are as severe as a thunder bolt,
And yet, as tender as a flower bud.
O Lord Shiva, holder of the pinaka (a small, hand held drum), I salute You.

You are like a silver mountain,
With a (crescent) moon on Your head.
I know that You have all the attributes.

You are controller of both the expressed
And the unexpressed worlds.
You are the shelter of all distressed people.

You are beginningless and beyond the scope of time,
And yet, You remain everpresent in all finite objects.
I salute You, O ever tranquil one.
O controlling Lord of animalistic tendencies!

You are the owner of all gems and jewels,
And yet, You have relinquished everything.
You are as effulgent as a bright emerald.

Taboo aasha poth cheye boshiya chhilo je dhora
Bethar chinho tar chhilo je onge bhora
Shukher shakol resh hoye giye-chhilo hara

Dhoraro bokhkhe jalo aaro beshi kore aalo
Nipidito hiya majhe aaro beshi shudha dhalo
Udatto shore shabare dak diye balo
Uñchu shire shammukh pane cholite

Translation:

O Lord, you have come today to care for suffering people,
to destroy the darkness from all minds, to love all living beings.

The earth waited eagerly for Your arrival.
Signs of injury all over her body.
Traces of happiness all but lost,
Carrying on and on the burden of agony.

On the bosom of the earth, kindle more light.
Into the distressed heart, pour even more nectar.
Calling everyone in resolute voice,
to move forward with heads held high.

Translation:

I call you, I desire you alone, I know none else.
My mind intoxicated in Your love, only understands You.

I have been swept in the floods of Your thoughts, dancing in Your desire.
You are the infinite ocean I am Your droplet, Your love binds me eternally.

In the showering of the fierce meteors and violent hailstorm
In the cool comforting winds of a full moon light
Your song and nectar of sweet voice, floats my heart away towards smiling horizon.

Translation:

With the waves of music and charming colors,
How have you colored this universe?
(Oh Parampurusha) Please tell me.
With sweet formation and sweet non-compliance,
Doing liila with all. Please tell me, please tell me.

Intoxicating the creation, with moonlit night
And crimson hue in the golden morning
Offering the blossoms of champak flowers
Making all Your own, by gentle touch.
Please tell me, please tell me.

Making universe dance in your rhythms and patterns
Painting it with the rainbow colors
Hiding behind all creation with unfathomable mystery
Please tell me, please tell me.

Tai shoda jachi, koruna tomar
Ashohaye thelibe ki bole?
Tumi ashohaye thelibe ki bole. Hiyaro shab…

Bhokti shikto nei priti dor
Acche shudhu betha bhora aañkhi lor
Amare bhola-be kon chhole. Hiyaro shab…

Translation:

Oh Parampurusha, I have prepared the garland for you,
With all the sweetness of my heart.
I have been swept away
In your ideation, eyes full with tears

I don’t have the force of sadhana (on my side)
Nor do I possess good virtues (samskaras)
So, I (can) only rely on, beg for your grace
Will you push me away helplessly?

I possess neither mundane nor spiritual knowledge
My love for you is not so devotional (also)
My eyes only possess the tears of agony.
What tricks are you trapping me with?

Tomar hiyay amar, nei ki kono sthan

Birat moner odhish tumi, nei je tomar iti

Amay jodi sthan nahi dao, badhbe nako maan
Tomar badhbe nako maan.  Tomar hiyay amar…

Here java hiyar majhe, tumi dhrubo tara
Shiter rater barshanete, ushna prolep dhara
Shabar Iagi tumi achho, achho ami chhada
Ami chhada tumi eje, tomar apoman,
Balo tomar apoman. Tomar hiyay amar….

Translation: 

Is there no place for me in  your heart?
Tell me, is there no place for me?
If there is no place then tell me where would be my liberation?
Tell me, where would be my liberation?

You are the controller of the infinite mind and You are endless.
I am like an insignificant drop, like an extremely insignificant life.
If you don’t give me a place in Your heart, Your prestige will not increase.

You are the guide for all those hearts who are lost.
In a cold night you are like warmth
You are for everybody but You are without me.
The fact that You are without me is actually an insult to You.

Translation:

Parampurush has come and my heart is as if humming.
Nectar is filled and sweetness is dripping.
Invisible, God is in my mind.
Enlightening everything.
Dripping sweetness everywhere.

How does He appear with such a supra-esthetic beauty?
How does He smile such a heart intoxicating smile?
Withering away dark clouds of my sufferings by His light
Filling my heart with rainbow colors
Dripping sweetness everywhere.

All songs, all notes, all music in the world
Filled my heart and mind
Sweetness is dripping everywhere
