Let Me Not Forget(TAGORE'S POEM)

If it is not my portion to meet thee in this life

then let me ever feel that I have missed thy sight ----

let me not forget for a moment ,

let me carry the pangs of this sorrow

in my dreams and in my wakefulhours.

As my days pass in the crowded market of this world

and my hands grow full with the daily profits,

let me ever feel that I have gained nothing----

let me not forget for a moment

let me carry the pangs of this sorrow

in my dreams and in my wakeful hours

When I sit by the roadside,

tired and panting,

when I spread my bed low in the dust,

let me ever feel that the long journey is still before me----

let me not forget a moment,

let me carry the pangs of this sorrow

in my dreams and in my wakeful hours.

When my rooms have been decked out

and the flutes sound

and the laughter the loud,

let me ever feel that I have not invited thee to my house----

let me not forget for a moment ,

let me carry the pangs of this sorrow

in my dreams and in my wakeful hours.
