Radhe! Kabe Nisi Avasane
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
rādhe!
kabe niśi avasāne, e vraja-nikuñja vane
nidrā tyāji dekhiba jāgiyā
tumi ta śyāmera sane, ācha nidrā acetane
kisalaya talpete śutiyā
Verse 2
paraspara āliṅgita, gaurī śyāma suśobhita
se śayana sakhī mana lobhā
gambhīra nikuñja sthale, maṇi dīpa śata jvale
tāhe rūpa alaṅkāra śobhā
Verse 3
duṅha śobhā daraśane, parama ananda mane
vakhaniba se sukha milana
heri heri sakhī-gaṇa, preme habe acetana
sva-saubhāgya māniba takhana
Verse 4
kintu bhaya pāre sabe, tapana udibe ghare
vipakṣa jānibe ei rasa
e sukha milana raṅga, nāhi keha cāhe bhaṅga
nā bhāṅgile haibe virāsa
Verse 1
O Rādhe! When will that time come when, after the night draws to an end, in this forest bower of Vraja, leaving sleep aside, I will wake up and see You with Śyāma, sleeping in a state of unconsciousness, resting on a bed of tender leaves?
Verse 2
Gaurī and Śyāma adorn each other in Their mutual embrace, and seeing Them resting, the minds of the sakhīs are charmed. In the depth of that forest bower, hundreds of jewelled lamps shine brightly which enriches the beauty of Their forms.
Verse 3
Seeing the beauty of both of Them, in a Supremely blissful state of mind, I will describe that blissful union – ‘Look! Look! O sakhīs!’ and become unconscious with prema! Thus I will consider this to be my own good fortune.
Verse 4
But when the sun rises, everybody will become afraid since the rivals will come to know of this rasa. Although nobody wants this blissful pastime of union to stop, if it does not end, it will become distasteful.
