tumane kya socha ki tumhaare siva koee nahee mujhe chaahane vaala,
pagalee chhodd kar to dekh, maut taiyaar khadhi hai mujhe apne seene lagaane ke liye…
तुमने क्या सौचा कि तुम्हारे सिवा कोई नही मुझे चाहने वाला,
पगली छोङ कर तो देख, मौत तैयार खङी है मुझे अपने सीने लगाने के लीऐ…
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
too chaand aur main sitaara hota,
aasamaan mein ek aashiyaana hamaara hota,
log tumhe door se dekhate,
nazadeeq se dekhane ka haq bas hamaara hota
तू चाँद और मैं सितारा होता,
आसमान में एक आशियाना हमारा होता,
लोग तुम्हे दूर से देखते,
नज़दीक़ से देखने का हक़ बस हमारा होता.
