Aktara - Original By Rabindranath Tagore Poem by Asif Andalib

Aktara - Original By Rabindranath Tagore



I try all day long
To dance with your song!

One string of Aktara can not bear my song's pain
I have lost this game with you again and again!

This string is tuned for this world's everyday
You are playing flute from light-years away!

Can everyone go to that other shore of superb song's game
And throw net of melody in world's heart's ocean to catch fame?

Loved the beautiful translation! It's hard to keep the essence of the original poem in a translation, like creating music with one string (Ektara) - you have been very successful in doing that! I will be reading and enjoying your other poems too! Thank you.
