Kine diwane suli tange tu
mat paeyaa kar soott kale rang de tu
oehla hi kehar bindi na uto laaeya kar
tere ton guzaarish tu bahar ghat jaaeyaa kar
ਕਿਨੇਂ ਦਿਵਾਨੇ ਸੁਲੀ ਟੰਗੇ ਤੂੰ
ਮੱਤ ਪਾਇਆ ਕਰ ਸ਼ੂਟ ਕਾਲ਼ੇ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਤੂੰ
ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਕਹੀਰ ਬਿਂਦੀ ਨਾ ਉਤੋਂ ਲਾਇਆ ਕਰ
ਤੇਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਗੁਜ਼ਾਰਿਸ਼ ਤੂੰ ਬਾਹਰ ਘੱਟ ਜਾਇਆਂ ਕਰ
Every morning this dog, very attached to me,
Quietly keeps sitting near my seat
Till touching its head
I recognize its company.
This recognition gives it so much joy
Pure delight ripples through its entire body.
Among all dumb creatures
It is the only living being
That has seen the whole man
Beyond what is good or bad in him
It has seen
For his love it can sacrifice its life
It can love him too for the sake of love alone
For it is he who shows the way
To the vast world pulsating with life.
When I see its deep devotion
The offer of its whole being
I fail to understand
By its sheer instinct
What truth it has discovered in man.
By its silent anxious piteous looks
It cannot communicate what it understands
But it has succeeded in conveying to me
Among the whole creation
What is the true status of man.
✍ Tagore
Lara la ke rakeyaa kagaz kalam nu
khat tere naa de paun da chaa hi reha
gammaan diyaan gazlaan ton fursat ni mili
geet pyar da gaun da bas chaa hi reha
