Tagore Song (#121) Wanting To Get Out Of Bondage But Fail Poem by Tushar Ray

(Joraye ache badha chharaye jete chai)

Obstacles have covered me up
I’m willing to get out but can’t
I come to Thee seeking freedom
But ashamed for asking Thee

I know Thou Art top in my life
Having no riches equaling Thee
Yet, I cannot throw those things
Broken and long-piled in the house

Those dust casings cover my heart
Hiding Thee, giving endless death
Hating ‘em from bottom of my heart
But still I continue loving them

Dust piled up due to self-cheating
Of so many failures and cover-ups!
Hence when I try doing well to me
At once fears appear in my mind
