Languor is upon your heart
Language: English after the Bangla (Bengali)
Languor is upon your heart
and the slumber is still on your eyes.
Has not the word come to you
that the flower is reigning
in splendour among thorns?
Wake, oh awaken! let not
the time pass in vain!
At the end of the stony path,
in the country of virgin solitude,
my friend is sitting all alone.
Deceive him not. Wake, oh awaken!
What if the sky pants and trembles
with the heat of the midday sun -
what if the burning sand
spreads its mantle of thirst -
Is there no joy in the deep of your heart?
At every footfall of yours,
will not the harp of the road
break out in sweet music of pain?
