Gitanjali by Rabindra Nath Tagore
translated by Tagore himself from Bengali.
গীতাঞ্জলি (ইংরেজী), রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর
Serial Number of the song : 97
When my play was with thee
I never questioned who thou wert.
I knew nor shyness nor fear, my life was boisterous.
In the early morning thou wouldst call me from my sleep
like my own comrade lead me running
from glade to glade.
On those days I never cared to know
the meanings of songs thou sangest to me.
Only my voice took up the tunes,
and my heart danced in their cadence.
Now, when the playtime is over,
what is this sudden sight that is come upon me?
The world with eyes bent upon thy feet
stands in awe with all its silent stars.

গীতাঞ্জলি (ইংরেজী), রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর
Serial Number of the song : 103
In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out
and touch this world at thy feet.
Like a rain-cloud of July hung low
with its burden of unshed showers
let all my mind bend down at thy door
in one salutation to thee.
Let all my songs
gather together their diverse strains
into a single current and flow to a sea of silence
in one salutation to thee.
Like a flock of homesick cranes flying
night and day back to their mountain nests
let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.

Serial Number of the song : 91
O thou the last fulfilment of life, death,
my death come and whisper to me!
Day after day have I kept watch for thee;
for thee have I borne the joys and pangs of life.
All that I am, that I have, that I hope and all my love
have ever flowed towards thee in depth of secrecy.
One final glance from thine eyes and my life
will be ever thine own.
The flowers have been woven and
the garland is ready for the bridegroom.
After the wedding the bride shall leave her home
and meet her lord
alone in the solitude of night.

Day after day, O lord of my life,

With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,
Shall I stand before thee face to face ?
Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face ?
In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with
toil and with struggle,
among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face ?
And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face ?

Serial Number of the song : 78
When the creation was new and all the stars
shone their first splendour, the gods
held their first splendour, the gods
held their assembly in the sky and sang
"Oh, the picture of perfection! The joy unalloyed!"
But one cried of a sudden --- "It seems that
somewhere there is a break in the chain of loght
and one of the stars has been lost."
The golden string of their harp snapped,
their song stopped, and they cried in dismay---
"Yes, that lost star was the best,
she was the glory of all heavens!"
From the day the search is unceasing for her,
and the cry goes on from one to the other that
in her the world has lost its one joy!
Only the deepest silence of night
the stars smile and whisper among themselves---
"Vain is this seeking!
Unbroken perfection is over all!"

Serial Number of the song : 80
I am like a remnant of a cloud of autumn
uselessly roaming in the sky,
O my sun ever-glorious! Thy touch
has not yet melted my vapour,
making me one with thy light, and thus
I count months and years separated from thee.
If this be thy wish and
if this be thy play, then
take this fleeting emptiness of mine,
paint it with colours, gild it with gold,
float it on the wanton wind
and spread it in varied wonders.
And again when it shall be thy wish
to end this play at night,
I shall melt and vanish away in the dark,
or it may be in a smile
of the white morning,
in a coolness of purity transparent.

On many an idle day have I grieved
over lost time. But it is never lost,
my lord. Thou hast taken every moment
of my life in thine own hands.
Hidden in the heart of things thou art
nourishing seeds into sprouts, buds into blossoms,
and ripening flowers into fruitfulness.
I was tired and sleeping on my idle bed
and imagined all work had ceased.
In the morning I woke up and found
my garden full with wonders of flowers.

Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.
Days and nights pass and ages bloom
and fade like flowers. Thou knowest how to wait.
Thy centuries follow each other
perfecting a small wild flower.
We have no time to loose, and
having no time we must scramble for our chances.
We are too poor to be late.
And thus it is that time goes by
while I give it to every querulous man
who claims it, and thine altar is
empty of all offerings to the last.
At the end of the day I hasten in fear
lest thy gate be shut ; but I find that yet there is time.

The night is dark and my heart is fearful---
Yet I will take up the lamp, open my gates

It is thy messenger who stands at my door.
I will worship with folded hands,

placing at his feet the treasure of my heart.
He will go back with his errand done,

and in my desolate home only my forlorn self
will remain as my last offering to thee.

In desperate hope I go and search for her

My house is small and what once has gone
from it can never be regained.
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have come to thy door.
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
and lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity
from which nothing can vanish---
no hope, no happiness, no vision
of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
an the allness of the universe.

Serial Number of the song : 88
Deity of ruined temple! The broken string of Vina
sing no more your praise. The bells in the evening
proclaim not your time of worship.
The air is still and silent about you.
In your desolate dwelling comes the vagrant spring breeze.
It brings the tidings of flowers --- the flowers that
for your worship are offered no more.
Your worshipper of old wanders ever longing
for favours still refused. In the eventide,
when fires and shadows mingle with the gloom of dust,
he wearily comes back to the ruined temple
with hunger in his heart.
Many a festival day comes to you in silence,
deity of the ruined temple.
Many a night of worship goes away with lamp unlit.
Many new images are built by masters
of cunning art and carried to the holy stream
of oblivion when their time is come.
Only the deity of the ruined temple remains
unworshipped in deathless neglect.

The speech of my heart will be

All the buyers and sellers are there. But
I have my untimely leave in the middle of the day,
in the thick of work.
Let then the flowers come out in my garden,
though it is not their time, and let
the midday bees strike up their lazy hum.
Full many an hour have I spent
in the strife of the good and the evil,
but now it is the pleasure of my playmate of the empty days
to draw my heart on to him, and I know not
why is this sudden call
to what useless inconsequence !

I know that the day will come when
my sight of this earth will be lost, and life
will take its leave in silence,
drawing the last curtain of light over my eyes.
Yet stars will watch at night and
morning rise as before
and hours heave like sea waves
casting up pleasures and pains.
When I think of this end of my moments,
the barrier of the moment breaks and I see
by the light of death
thy world with its careless treasures.
Rare is its lowliest seat, rare is its meanest lives.
Things that I longed for in vain
and things that I got --- let them pass.
Let me but truly possess the things
that I ever spurned and overlooked.

Now the day has dawned and the lamp

A summons has come

Serial Number of the song : 93
I have got my leave.
Bid me farewell, my brothers!
I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door ---
and I give up all claims to my house.
I only ask for the last kind words from you.
We were neighbours for long,
but I received more than I could give.
Now the day has dawned and the lamp
that lit my dark corners is out.
A summons has come
and I am ready for my journey.

Serial Number of the song : 94
At this time of my parting,
Wish me good luck, my friends!
The sky is flushed with dawn and
my path lies beautiful.
Ask not what I have with me to take there.
I start on my journey with empty hands
and expectant heart.
I shall put on my wedding garland.
Mine is not the red-brown dress of the traveller,
and though there are dangers on the way
I have no fear on my mind.
The evening star will come out
when my voyage is done
and the plaintive notes of the twilight melodies
be struck up from the King's gateway.

Serial Number of the song : 95
I was not aware of the moment when
I first crossed the threshold of life.
What was the power that made me open
out into the vast mystery
like a bud in the forest at midnight!
When in the morning I looked upon the light
I felt in a moment that I was no longer stranger in this world,
that the inscrutable without name and form
had taken me in its arms
in the form of my own mother.
Even so, in death the same unknown will appear
as ever known to me. And because I love this life,
I know I shall love death as well.
The child cries out when
from the right breast the mother takes it away,
in the very next moment to find
in the left one its consolation.

When I go from hence let this be my parting word,
that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus
that expands on the ocean of light, and thus
am I blessed --- let this be my parting word.
In this playhouse of infinite forms
I have had my play and here
have I caught sight of him that is formless.
My whole body and my limbs have thrilled
with his touch who is beyond touch ;
and if the end comes here, let it come ---
let this be my parting word.

I will deck thee with trophies, garlands of my defeat.
It is never in my power to escape unconquered.
I surely know my pride will go to the wall,
my life will burst its bonds in exceeding pain,
and my empty heart will sob out in music like hollow reed,
and the stone will melt in tears.
I surely know the hundred petals of a lotus
will not remain closed for ever
and the secret recess of its honey will be bared.
From the blue sky an eye shall gaze upon me,
nothing whatever, and utter death shall I receive at thy feet.

When I give up the helm I know that
the time has come for thee to take it.
What there is to do will be instantly done.
Vain is the struggle.
Then take away your hands and
silently put up with your defeat, my heart,
and think it your good fortune to sit perfectly still
where you are placed.
These my lamps are blown out at every little puff of wind,
and trying to light them I forget all else again and again.
But I shall be wise this time and wait in the dark,
spreading my mat on the floor and
whenever it is thy pleasure,
my lord, come silently and take thy seat here.

I dive down into the depth of the ocean of forms,
hoping to gain the perfect pearl of the formless.
No more sailing from harbour to harbour
with this my weather beaten boat.
The days are long passed when
my sport was to be tossed on waves.
And now I am eager to die into the deathless.
Into the audience hall by the fathomless abyss where
swells up the music of toneless strings
I shall take this harp of my life.
I shall tune it to the notes of for ever, and,
when it has sobbed out its last utterance,
lay down my silent harp at the feet of the silent.

Ever in my life have I sought thee with my songs.
It was they who led me from door to door,
and with them have I felt about me, searching and

It was my songs that taught me all the lessons I ever learnt ;
they showed me secret paths, they brought before my sight
many a star on the horizon of my heart.
They guided me all the day long to the mysteries of the
country of pleasure, and pain, and, at last,
to what palace gate have they brought me
in the evening at the end of
my journey ?

Thou art the Brother amongst my brothers,
but I heed them not, I divide not

In pleasure and in pain I stand not
by the side of men, and thus stand by thee.
I shrink to give up my life, and
thus do not plunge into the great waters of life.

It is the overspreading pain

When the warriors came out first
from their master's hall,
where had they hid their power ?
Where were their armour and their arms ?
They looked poor and helpless,
and the arrows were showered upon them
on the day they came out from their master's hall.
When the warriors marched back
again to their master's hall
where did they hide their power ?
They had dropped the sword
and dropped the bow and the arrow ;
peace was on their foreheads, and
they had left the fruits of their life
behind them on the day they marched back
again to their master's hall.
