Tagore Songs (#63) Ocean Said It Found Its Own Frontier Poem by Tushar Ray

(Megh bolechhe jabo jabo rat bolechhe jai)

The cloud said it was about to leave
And night said it is just leaving, while
Ocean said it found its own frontier
So don’t belong to ocean any longer

Sorrow wants to be quiet forever
Like the Lord’s footprint,
And ego wants to vanish altogether
Not even asking for anything

Earth says her garland is ready
To greet the Lord
Sky says of offering Copious lights across
While Love says of staying
Awaken for eons
Death agrees to steer life’s boat for our Lord
