Gathered together have the clouds

মেঘের পরে মেঘ জমেছে
megher pore megh jomechhey
(Tagore's own translation)

Gathered together have the clouds
A deep darkness descends
Why do you make me sit and wait
Alone at the doorstep
In many tasks on work days
With many folks I stay
Today it is I sit and wait
Seeking your assurance
If you do not come into view
Ignore me if you do
How do I get through this dark cloudy day
Gazing towards the distant far
All I can do is stare
The cry from my heart strays around
Drifting on restless winds
