You come to unite with me

আমার মিলন লাগি তুমি
amar milon lagi
(Tagore's own translation)

You come to unite with me
Since aeons are you on your way
Can your sun and moon ever
Keep you out of sight from me


Your footsteps resonate from dawn to dusk through the ages
Your envoy has in secret sent a message to my heart

Today O great wayfarer
My heart quivers with a thrill
As if the time has come now
My work is all complete
The breeze brings with it Oh Lord
A faint hint of your fragrance

- 31st August 1909
