শিখারে কহিল হাওয়া,
            "তোমারে তো চাই পাওয়া।'
যেমনি জিনিতে চাহিল ছিনিতে
            নিবে গেল দাবি-দাওয়া॥  

SUDDENLY THE window of my heart flew open this morning, the window that looks out on your heart.
I wondered to see that the name by which you know me is written in April leaves and flowers, and I sat silent.
The curtain was blown away for a moment between my songs and yours.
I found that your morning light was full of my own mute songs unsung;
I thought that I would learn them at your feet-and I sat silent.

I THREW AWAY my heart in the world; you took it up.
I sought for joy and gathered sorrow, you gave me sorrow and I found joy.
My heart was scattered in pieces, you picked them up in your hand
and strung them in a thread of love.
You let me wander from door to door to show me at last how near
you are.
Your love plunged me into the deep trouble.
When I raised my head I found I was at your door.
