Gitanjali 65 (Dawan-English)


Nâko: Rabindranath Tagore


Mninut leokleüf humaf sâ es ho mlomi, Usî,

nâko au monit in piala ahenûsekê i?


Au ahínpuisi ko, nane ho malinat he muët ho pakaet natuin au matak

ma he mhake mnesamnés a-mbi au lukek in enôn he mutnín

ho harmoni abalbalat kum?


Pah-pinan fê nakaon hanfuaf a-nbi au lolek ma ho mlilê a-nloul musik neu sin.

Ho mnon’om meu ka mbi manekat ma mutním ho minomim a-mbi kau.

----------------------------------------------------------------

What divine drink wouldst thou have, my God,

from this overflowing cup of my life?


My poet, is it thy delight to see thy creation through my eyes

and to stand at the portals of my ears silently to listen

to thine own eternal harmony?


Thy world is weaving words in my mind and thy joy is adding music to them.

Thou givest thyself to me in love and then feelest thine own entire sweetness in me.
