तरुण आहे रात्र अजुनी
राजसा निजलास का रे?
राजसा निजलास का रे?
एवढ्यातच त्या कुशीवर
तू असा वळलास का रे?
तरुण आहे रात्र अजुनी
(...)
तारकांच्या दीपमाला
अजुनही विझल्या न गगनी
तारकांच्या दीपमाला
अजुन मी विझले कुठे रे?
हाय! तू विझलास का रे?
राजसा निजलास का रे?
तरुण आहे रात्र अजुनी

सांग, ह्या कोजागरीच्या चांदण्याला काय सांगू?
सांग, ह्या कोजागरीच्या चांदण्याला काय सांगू?
उमलते अंगांग माझे

बघ तुला पुसतोच आहे

तरुण आहे रात्र अजुनी राजसा निजलास का रे ? एवढ्यातच त्या कुशीवर तू असा वळलास का रे ?
The night is still young, my dear prince have you slept?
Did you turn around and rested behind back so early?
अजुनही विझल्या न गगनी तारकांच्या दीपमाला;
अजुन मी विझले कुठे रे ?
हाय ! तू विझलास का रे ?
The Garlands of Stars in the deep sky are yet to be extinguished….
I myself haven’t yet extinguished….
Ohhh , have you already extinguished ?
सांग, ह्या कोजागरीच्या चांदण्याला काय सांगू ?
उमलते अंगांग माझे..
आणि तू मिटलास का रे ?
Tell me now what should I tell to these stars and waxing gibbous Moon of Kojagiri (full moon)??….
Every organ in my body is blossoming……
but have you already became nyctinastic?
बघ तुला पुसतोच आहे पश्चिमेचा गार वारा..
रातराणीच्या फुलांचा गंध तू लुटलास का रे ?
See these chilled westerly winds are asking for you…..
Have you robbed the fragrance of Night-Blooming Jasmine ?
उसळती हुदयांत माझ्या अमृताच्या धुंद लाटा..
तू किनार्‍यासारखा पण कोरडा उरलास का रे ?
These necterine waves are bouncing in my heart…..
But why you still remain dry like a seashore ?
ओठ अजुनी बंद का रे,
श्वास ही मधुमंद का रे
बोल शेजेच्या फुलावर,
तू असा रुसलास का रे
Why your lips are still locked?…..
Why your breathing is so low pitched?…..
Tell me have you still sulky on this flower beside??
तरुण आहे रात्र अजुनी राजसा निजलास का रे ?
The night is still young, my dear prince have you slept?…….

(Nature is awaiting the rise of moon on the night of KOJAGIRI POORNIMA and moon is taking its own time to rise) Meaning of the poem:-
Tarun ahe raatr ajuni raajasa nijalaas ka re
Evadhayaatach tya kushiwar
tu asa valalaas ka re
Night is still young, Oh Moon (rajasa with ego , have you slept off
So soon have you arched on the cushion (sky/cloud)
Ajunahi vijhalya n gagani taarakaanchya dipamaala
Ajun mi vijhale kuthhe re, haay tu vijhalaas ka re
Still in the sky are the unblown garland lit by the starlight,
Still I (nature) have not become powerless, oh how have you become powerless
Saang hya kojaagirichya chaandanyaala kaay saangu
Umalate angaang maajhe ani tu mitalaas ka re
Tell me, what do I say to the stars on this KOJAGIRI (festival of moon in India) (in case the moon does not appear)
I am very anxious to see you and where have you hidden yourself
Bagh tula pusatoch ahe pashchimecha gaar waara
Raataraanichya fulaancha gndh tu lutalaas ka re
Look, I think the cold westerly winds are trying to erase you (Push you back from rising)
Have you stolen the sweet smell of RAATRANI flower (i.e. hiding like a thief)
Usalati hridayaat maajhya amritaachya dhund laata
Tu kinaarayaasaarakha pan
korada uralaas ka re
In my heart (SEA) tides are emerging like sweet nectar,
You are always ashore, but remained very dry, why so????
(Moon brings tides on earth, but moon as such is dry without water)
Othh ajuni bnd ka re, shwaas hi madhumnd ka re
Bol shejechya fulaanwar tu asa rusalaas ka re
Why are you still quiet, why your breath has become slow,
Tell me, are you angry with the STAR FLOWERS.

काय लिहावे या प्रतिभावंतां बद्दल कळत नाही . अहो शब्दांच चांदणं करणाऱ्या कविवर्य सुरेश भट साहेबांची किमया अवर्णनीय आहे. पंडीत हृदयनाथांच्या बाबतीत निराळं काय सांगावे मी . अहो अवघ्या लहानवयातच सुर संगीताशी अगदी घट्ट गट्टी जमलेल्या याआमच्या लाडक्या आशा ताईं हृदयनाथ जी बद्दल काय बोलावे हे कळत नाही . या त्रयीला त्रिवार वंदन ..
