THE TIME THAT my journey takes is long and the way of it long.
I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet.
It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself, and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune.
The traveller has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.
My eyes strayed far and wide before I shut them and said 'Here art thou!'
The question and the cry 'Oh, where?' Melt into tears of a thousand streams and deluge the world with the blood of the assurance 'I am!'

জ্বেলেছে পথের আলোক
সূর্যরথের চালক,
      অরুণরক্ত গগন।
বক্ষে নাচিছে রুধির--
কে রবে শান্ত সুধীর?
      কে রবে তন্দ্রামগন?
বাতাসে উঠিছে হিলোল,
সাগর ঊর্মি-বিলোল,
      এল মহেন্দ্র লগন--
           কে রবে তন্দ্রামগন?

দিবসের অপরাধ সন্ধ্যা যদি ক্ষমা করে তবে
       তাহে তার শান্তিলাভ হবে॥
