Play On, Dear Poet Poem by Sutapa Chaudhuri

Play On, Dear Poet



Play on, dear poet, your tunes melodious
In intensely profound tones in my soul—
Molten let my life rain down like a waterfall on your feet.
Let me forget all joy or woe, worry, unfulfilled desires—
Liberated let the heart traverse amidst the endless universe
Borne along forever on the blissful breeze.

*this is a free translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s song Bajao tumi kavi
