THE NIGHT is nearly spent waiting for him in vain. I fear lest in the morning he suddenly come to my door when I have fallen asleep wearied out. Oh friends, leave the way open to him-forbid him not.
If the sound of his steps does not wake me, do not try to rouse me, I pray. I wish not to be called from my sleep by the clamorous choir of birds, by the riot of wind at the festival of morning light. Let me sleep undisturbed even if my lord comes of a sudden to my door.
Ah, my sleep, precious sleep, which only waits for his touch to vanish. Ah, my closed eyes that would open their lids only to the light of his smile when he stands before me like a dream emerging from darkness of sleep.
Let him appear before my sight as the first of all lights and all forms. The first thrill of joy to my awakened soul let it come from his glance. And let my return to myself be immediate return to him.

তুমি যে  এসেছ মোর ভবনে
            রব উঠেছে ভুবনে।
নহিলে    ফুলে কিসের রঙ লেগেছে,
            গগনে কোন্‌ গান জেগেছে,
            কোন্‌ পরিমল পবনে?
দিয়ে      দুঃখ-সুখের বেদনা
            আমায় তোমার সাধনা।
আমার    ব্যথায় ব্যথায় পা ফেলিয়া
            এলে তোমার সুর মেলিয়া,
            এলে আমার জীবনে।

THE JUDGE thinks that he is just when he compares
the oil of another's lamp
with the light of his own.
