যতক্ষণ থাকে মেঘ
        শূন্যপটে নাম রহে লেখা।
যখন সে চলে যায়
        মুছে দিয়ে যায় সব রেখা।

I HAVE PLAYED my flute along the path,
I have sung at thy gate.
I have offered my tunes before thy temple's outer screen
decorated with endless forms and colours.
Today have come to me from everywhere
the words that speak of the End.
They ask me to break the bond of the road,
to come to the farther shore of the pilgrimage
by crossing the endless refrain
of meetings and partings.

মুক্ত যে ভাবনা মোর
      ওড়ে ঊর্ধ্ব-পানে
সেই এসে বসে মোর গানে।
