অপরাজিতা ফুটিল,
      লতিকার
   গর্ব নাহি ধরে--
যেন পেয়েছে লিপিকা
      আকাশের
   আপন অক্ষরে।

MY WORK is rewarded in daily wages,
I wait for my final value in love.

MUCH HAVE you given to me,
Yet I ask for more-
I come to you not merely for the draught of water, but for the spring;
Not for guidance to the door alone, but to the Master's hall; not only for the gift of love, but for the lover himself.
