No more will I carry myself

আর আমায় আমি নিজের শিরে বইব না 
aar amay ami nijer shirey
(Tagore's own translation)

No more will I carry myself
On my very shoulders
I will wait no more at my door
Like a beggar

Flinging this burden at your feet
Set out I will without a care
I will keep no track of it
I will say not a word

No more will I carry myself
On my very shoulders

My desire all that it touches
In a flash it extinguishes
All that it has amassed
Through it’s touch unholy
No more do I want it
If not touched with your love
Take it I will no more

No more will I carry myself
On my very shoulders
