Tagore Song (#23) Why Can'T I See Thee All Along! Poem by Tushar Ray

(Khone khone sudhu dekha pai)


I could see Thee every now and then
Why can't I see Thee all along, Lord!
Why the cloudy sky of my inner heart
Obstructs my vision from Thee

At times I see Thee transiently
In the twinkle of my eye
And being panic-stricken to loose Thee
I loose Thee instantly

Oh Lord, please tell me
How I keep Thee stable in my eyes
Where I could get so much of love
To keep Thee glued in my heart?

I bet my life not to-notice anyone else
If this's what Thou want from me
I am ready to abandon other desires too
For seeing Thee always in me!
