BRING TO THIS country once again the blessed name which made the land of thy birth sacred to all distant lands! Let thy great awakening under the bodhi tree be fulfilled, sweeping away the veil of unreason and let, at the end of an oblivious night, freshly blossom out in India thy remembrance! Bring life to the mind that is inert, thou Illimitable Light and Life! Let the air become vital with thy inspiration! Let open the doors that are barred, and the resounding conch shell proclaim thy arrival at Bharat's gate. Let, through innumerable voices, the gospel of an immeasurable love announce thy call.
WE TWO LAY sunk in the dusk of dreams; the time of awakening has come waiting for the last word from you. Turn your face to me and with a tear-dimmed glance make the sorrow of parting ever beautiful. The morning will appear with its early star on the far-distant sky of loneliness. The pain of this farewell night has been captured in my vina-strings, the lost glory of love will remain woven in my visions. Open with your own hands the door towards final separation.
