“To Her Steady Lover - Poem by Jibanananda Das There is no meaning in living—I don't say this. There is meaning for some, may be for all—may be a perfect meaning. Yet I hear the white sound of wind-driven birds In the water of the distant seas beneath the burning summer sun. The candle burns slowly, very slowly, on my table; The books of intellect are more still—unwavering— lost in meditation; Yet when you go out on to the streets or even while sitting by the window side Will you sense the frenzied dance of violent waters; Right beside that a book of your cheeks; no more like a lantern, Perhaps like a conch-shell lying on the beach as if ocean's father It is also a music by his own merit—like Nature: caustic—lovable—finally like the most favourite entity. So I get the taste of expansive wind in the airing of maddening grievances; Otherwise in the mind's forest the python coils up around the doe: I feel the pitiable hint of a life like that in the Sceptre of protest. Some glacier-cold still flock of Cormorants will realize my words; When the electric-compass of life will cease They will eat up snow-grey sleep like polar seas in endless grasp.”

“We don’t find God in temples and cathedrals. We don’t find Him by standing on a prayer rug or sitting in a pew. God appears when we love someone other than ourselves. And we continue to feel His presence when we do good for others. Because God is not found in mosques and synagogues. He resides in our hearts.”

“I have become intoxicated again. You are such a potent wine, my friend. To escape your withdrawal effects, tomorrow I will drink in excess. Alas, why make me love? I was aware, conscious, and sensible before. I am ill by cause of this illusion. The devil plays tricks on me more and more. I was a harp you immaculately plucked at will. Your score, the nightingale song within notes composed to imprison and bear me wings. Oh, if only they could hear how it sings! I am now beyond parched. My strings left untouched. You are no longer an oasis, my friend, but a mirage soon coming to an end.”

“No Time, No Space (The Sonnet) There is no time, no space, There is only love. There is no intellect, no philosophy, There is only love. There is no defeat, no victory, There is only love. There is no loss, no gain, There is only love. There is no path, no pedestrian, There is only love. There is no mission, no means, There is only love. All of us are either echoes of love beyond chains, Or just some traditional trash of glory and gain.”

“স্রষ্টা ফল দিয়েছেন যেন আমরা ক্ষুধা নিবারণ করতে পারি। একইভাবে তিনি ফুল দিয়েছেন যেন প্রয়োজনে তা কাজে লাগানো যায়। ফল যেমন গাছে সুন্দর আবার ঝুড়িতেও সুন্দর, তেমনি ফুল গাছে সুন্দর আবার প্রেমিক বা প্রেমিকার হাতেও সুন্দর! আমি বিনীতভাবে দ্বিমত পোষণ করি যারা বলেন যে ফুল শুধু গাছেই শোভা পায়। ফল যেমন গাছেই রেখে দিলে নষ্ট হয়ে যাবে, তেমনি ফুলও ব্যবহৃত না হলে অযথাই নষ্ট হবে!”

“God has given fruits so that we can satisfy hunger. Similarly, He has given flowers so that they can be used if necessary. Just as the fruits are beautiful in the tree and also in the basket, likewise, the flowers are beautiful in the tree and also in the lover or beloved’s hands. I humbly disagree with those who say that flowers adorn only the trees. As leaving the fruits in the tree will destroy them, equally, if the flowers are not used, they will be pointlessly wasted!”

“I used to be lost in us. Blurred were the lines that separated us. But now, I see our togetherness in our separateness. I see the you in me and the me in you. We are two independent beings who complement one another like photographs that are beautiful on their own but are enhanced when juxtaposed, creating an altogether new photograph.”

“Do the lovers know that when they whisper these poems they are commemorating our love? Do they ever think of you and me or only of themselves? Do they know that I once found a strand of your hair and wore it around my neck like a necklace? That I kiss your hands more than I kiss your lips? Do they realise that our love and their love are drops in the universe’s ocean of love and that without any of these drops, the ocean would be less?”

“Lovers dream of one more embrace. One more kiss. One act of love, no matter how small. For in loving, lover and beloved emptied themselves. Now, they look for their oasis like men engulfed in flames. Even filled to the brim, they will never satiate. For they continue to leak, these cracked vessels. How else did love seep through?”

“Life sometimes reminds us that it is sometimes heartless by giving something or someone we really need to someone who does not need or even want them or it.”

“Some people will hate you for not loving them.”

“Some people masturbate to temporarily replace their partners when they are absent, whereas some people do that to temporarily live in the present.”

“LIKE MOTHER, LIKE LOVER There is the mother Who cooks too much To feed her children, And there is the mother Who cooks too little, Or not at all. There is the bird That returns to its nest With just a frail worm And feeds it to her babies, And there is the bird That kills its frail babies Just to eat the worm. There is the lover Who argues that There is never Enough love, And there is the other lover Who argues that love is All there ever Was.”

“Can we share my eyes so you can see what I see? Can we share my ears so you can hear what I hear? Can you perch on my shoulders so you can go where I go? Always in my heart, I don’t experience anything separate from you. This shared wonderment becomes doubled. This shared love becomes infinite.”

“If you think that your partner has been cheating, then take a look at their will. If a past lover is in there, then it is probable that some form of infidelity has occurred.”
