Try to search it, try to find it
That she is also a mother,
Mom, mum, mummy
Around her neck
...
The beauty and mystery of the woods as such that I cannot tell you
Overlooking the bridge
In between
Hanging on,
...
On seeing her for the first time,
I got bowled over
On seeing her,
So charming and attractive,
...
Gitanjali is a book of classical love poetry
And Tagore here trying to compile classically,
Seconded by the joys and sorrows of life,
Already felt, experienced and seen,
...
How fast, strange and hued looks it
Our carpenter bird,
I mean the woodpecker
With a cown overhead
...
He is an idle-sitting man,
Has no work to do,
So does he politics.
...
Ask her not to do purdah from me
As I am her lover,
A quawwal to do a quawwali for her,
A lover of hers am I,
...
His costume stitched, embroidered and sewn,
The painter's painting of your portrait
Or the photos taken from a camera
And the gardener decorating with flowers
...
O newborn babe, your mom is a careerist, a stylist,
A heroine mom,
A European mom, not an Asiatic one,
Ask for not milk!
...
