Yield I will to love

প্রেমের হাতে ধরা দেব
premer haatey dhora debo
(Tagore's own translation)

Yield I will to love
So it is I wait
It is now quite late
Am guilty on many counts

They come to bind me
In prescripts and rules
I gently evade
Gladly will I pay
The penalty for that
Yield I will to love
So it is I wait

They criticize me
Their words untrue are not
Gladly will I bear
All blame and slander
On the lowest rung
Will I stay

The day comes to an end
Business too has closed down
They who came with summons
Slighted have they returned
Yield I will to love
So it is I wait
