Much in my life I attempted
Many of them remained unfinished
But I know this my master
None has been lost
None has been in vain.
The flower that dropped on the ground
Before it blossomed
The river that lost its way
In the desert sand
This I know my lord
None has been lost
None has been in vain.
Whatever is past
Whatever is yet to come
All of them resonate
In your veena’s strings
This I know my master
None has been lost
None will be in vain.
Translation of the devotional song – Jibone jato puja holona sara / jani he jani tao hoyni hara – by Rabindranath Tagore.
