The Driver

The Last Sun
("Prathom Diner Surja" )
By Rabindranath Tagore

The sun on my first dawn
when I was just  born:
asked: "Who are you?"
I had no response.

Years and decades were gone,
on my last day, the last sun
across the western horizon,
on a quiet twilight,
asked the last question:
"Who are you?"
I had no response.
