Rabindranath Tagore - Birth Story -- English TranslationRabindranath Tagore - Birth Story -- English Translation
Work rating: Low


The kid asks his mum, ‘From where did I come, Me where did you find?’ Holding him tight in an embrace In tears and laughter The mum replies, ‘You were in my mind As my deepest wish. You were with me When I was a child And played with my dolls. When worshiping Shiva in the morning I made and unmade you every moment. You were with my deity on the altar And with him I worshipped you too. You were in my hopes and desires, You were in my love, And in the hearts of my mum and grand mum. I don’t know how long You kept yourself hiding In our age old home In the lap of the goddess of our family. When I bloomed like a flower in my youth You were in me like its sweet smell With your softness and sweetness You were in my every limb. You are the darling of all gods You are eternal yet new You are of the same age as the morning sun From a universal dream To me you came floating On the floods of joy That eternally flows in this world. Staring at you in wonder I fail to unfold your mystery How could one come only to me Who belongs to all? Embracing your body with my body You have come to this world as my kid. So I clasp you tightly in my breast And cry when you are away for a moment I always remain in fear I may lose One who is the darling of the world. I don’t know how shall I keep you Binding in what magic bond.’
