Prayer - Translation of Tagore's Song
This is the translation of a devotional song by Rabindranath Tagore (1861- 1941), Nobel-laureate Saint Poet from India. This song is taken from his collection of songs, titled "Gitabitan" (Garden Of Songs)
O My Lord, let today's meeting be rewarding, let this night be a grandiose celebration!
out and inside my heart, all around the world let everyone feel blessed -
let the parched hearts be softened with love, bring sacred light to the blank eyes,
let your welcoming door be open with no fear, let your source of immortality flow without hindrance,
let spread in all corners of the sky, your beautiful fascinating decorations,
invite all your followers to this meet, allow those who turn away from you, bow at your feet,
O The Omnipotent, Your ever-lasting wealth causes all other riches lose their glory.
