If you love someone
Just tell him
At the most he will say no
But atleast you knoe that he knows
True! Tagore said, You implore upon me to simply say the simple words, Alas! Simple words cannot be uttered so simply....or words to that effect (translation is mine) . It's not always easy to convey the feelings as intensely felt by you. However, I agree, a 'no' can also be a consolation, better than nothing said at all.

I would like to translate this poem
Love is not something to hide True love is really a matter of pride.
