Jibana Maraner Seemana Chharaye (Transcending the ambits of life and death)-Rabindranath Tagore

Transcending the ambits

Of life and of death,

O my Friend, you stand

And draw your breath.



In the desolate skies

Of this heart of mine,

‘Tis your throne immersed

 In such ethereal shine.



With profound joy and a hope, 

Perhaps farfetched,

I gaze at it, 

With my arms outstretched.



Her darkness: her tresses

Around your feet, the Night,

Unfurls her burden

In silence and in quiet.



Deluging all, today,

Which song is this?

From your veena that pours

Down to the deepest abyss!



The world merges in

As the tunes resonate.

While in agony (of the song)

Cast adrift, away I went.
