ଚୈତ୍ର ନବରାତ୍ର

ଜଳାଇ ପାରୁନି ତୋ ଦ୍ଵାରେ ପ୍ରଦୀପ ନବରାତ୍ର ଅବସରେ,
 ମା ସିଂହବାହିନୀ ଧରିବୁନି ତ୍ରୁଟି ପୁତ୍ରର ତିଳେ  ଅନ୍ତରେ।

କିଏ ବା ବୁଝିବ ଏ ବେଦନା ମାଆ ଯାହା ପାଉଛି ପ୍ରାଣରେ,
ଜାଣୁ ତୁହି ସିନା କେତେ ସୁଖ ପାଏ ମୋ ମନ ତୋର ସେବାରେ ।

ପୁଅ ପାଇଁ ଆଜି ମାଆର କପାଟ  ଅବରୁଦ୍ଧ ଏ ବେଳରେ
ବିଧିର ଭିଆଣ ଭୋଗିବାକୁ ହେବ ଯା' ଅଛି ମୋ କପାଳରେ।

ଅନ୍ତରେ ଶରଧା ଦୀପଟି ରଖି ମୁଁ ବସିଛି ମା ତୋ ପୟରେ,
ଲୁହ ତୈଳ ଦେଇ ସମର୍ପଣ ବତୀ ଜଳାଇ ତୋ ସମୀପରେ।

ରହିଥିଲେ ଜୀବ ଜାଲିବି ମୁଁ ଦୀପ ପର ବର୍ଷ ତୋ ମନ୍ଦିରେ,
ସେ ଯାଏଁ ମୋ ମନ ରହିଥିବ ବ୍ଯଗ୍ର କଟିବ ଦିନ ଦୁଃଖରେ । 

ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି,

ତୁହିଟି,
ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି,
ତୁ ହେବୁ ସଭିଙ୍କ ସାହା ବିଶ୍ଵ ଅଛି ଚାହିଁଟି,
 ତୁହିଟି,
ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି। 

ତୁହିଟି,
ଏ ମହାମାରୀ ବେଳରେ ତୋ କୃପା କଟାକ୍ଷଟି,
ସକଳ ବିକଳ ପ୍ରାଣୀମାନଙ୍କ ରକ୍ଷକଟି  
ତୁହିଟି,
ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି।

ତୁହିଟି 
ତୁ ଭୀଷଣ ଅଗ୍ନି ଶିଖା ବ୍ୟାଧି ତୁଳା କୁଢଟି 
କ୍ଷଣେ ଜଳାଇ ପାରିବୁ ମୋ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟୟ ଦୃଢଟି 
ତୁହିଟି,
ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି। 

ତୁହିଟି,
ଚରଣ ଧରୁଛି ତୋର ମୋ କଳା ଗୋସାଇଁଟି,
ରଖ ବିଶ୍ଵ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ହୃଦେ କୃପା ବହିଟି,
 ତୁହିଟି,
ତୋ ବିନା ଏ ଜଗତର ହିତ କାହିଁ ନାହିଁଟି । 

Save us, Oh lord

Oh lord of the universe,
we all are yours,
the whole human race,
your sons and daughters,
subjects, dependents, worshipers.

Lord, we are passing through,
a crucial time, a tough situation,
which is beyond our understanding,
our capabilities, our knowledge,
our wisdom, our control.

Oh lord, we feel helpless,
against this invisible enemy,
 of the human race, Corona-virus.

You are our trust, our worship,
Oh lord, lend your helping hand,
save us from this calamity.

DEVOTION FOR HIM

Innumerable huddles would come,
in this path of devotion.
People I trust would deceive,
and desert without any reason,
strangers would try to impress me,
pretend to be my own.
some would try to prove my right,
to be wrong and defame me.

To be very honest,
the creator of such situations,
is the one I am devoted to.
He would poise new  tests every day,
in order to examine the intent and pureness,
of my love towards Him.
He would try to know,
whether I am shaken
with such changed situation or not.

I am not keen in blaming
you or anyone for all that happens,
because you and others are only mediums,
and the director behind the happenings is He.

 Now its my turn, my role,
to stay stable, remain bold and move on.
The reflection of moon comes clear,
on a stagnant and clean water body,
the same way He loves to ascend,
on a firm and clear heart.
  

"Personal secret",

If your heart is broad,
then it can accommodate,
the whole world in it,
but if it is narrow,
then you will find that,
your own home has many parts.

Your wish to have something "private"
and "personal secret",
makes your heart very small,
and that draws barricades ,
even between your life partner and you,
your kids and you.

It is essential to maintain,
a cover on things
that we know are unsocial or dirty,
a relationship that gives foul smell.
If a relationship is so,
why should we have that then.

Why should we have
some "personal secret"
which we would wish to hide,
from the world and even
from our own people.

This is the reason
 of raising divorce cases in our society,
as young couples want to have their personal friends,
and want to hide them from their partners.
Be frank and live honest, that is life.

INTENTIONS

You came, stayed for a period,
accompanied  me in my journey and went away.
I am not sad or worried when you went away,
because I know, no relationship on this earth is  eternal.

But I am annoyed because of the way you went away,
because of the reason for which you went away.

You went away as if I am a man having no morality,
and demanded an illicit relationship,
whereas in all my songs I pleaded for divinity,
truth, trust, piousness and honesty between two souls,
I wished a relationship free from ego, anger and selfishness,
because I know this much is divinity.

Say this world, I am a wrong man,
I do not mind, because God knows everything.

Until my intentions are pious,
until my  deeds are right,
I  will continue to get His blessings,
and that is what I am getting. .
