I swim into the seeable sea

রূপসাগরে ডুব দিয়েছি
Rupshagore dub diyechhi

(Tagore's own translation)
 

I swim into the seeable sea
a diver in search of the unseen pearl.

I'll not wander on my broken boat
from one shore to another.
Let this be the end of being tossed around.
I'll drown in bliss and be undying.

There, where music is unheard
I will bring my song
to the boundless band.

I'll tune my lute to eternity.
With flowing tears, it'll sings its last.
With final silence I shall hand it back
to the One who remains forever mute.
