But Will You Ever Know?

by Rupradha Mookerjee

Behind every success of yours
Are my best wishes galore,
But will you ever know?

Behind every good fortune of yours
Is my prayer's door,
But will you ever know?

Behind every joy of yours
Is my heart’s solace,
But will you ever know?

Behind every indignity of yours
Is my disgrace,
But will you ever know?

Behind every sorrow of yours
Is my heart’s cry,
But will you ever know?

Behind every failure of yours
Is my deep sigh,
But will you ever know?

Behind every triumph of yours
Is my eternal delight,
But will you ever know?

Behind every struggle of yours
Is my strong fight,
But will you ever know?

Behind every freedom of yours
Is my soul's rescue,
But will you ever know?

Behind every heartbeat of yours
Is my endless love for you,
But will you ever know?

TO: Ms. Rupradha Mookerjee
Your beautiful poem reminds me following lines of Tagore's 'Daymochan' of 'Shesher Kabita', an interpretation of which appears in Boloji.com -

"...Friend, I know your journey is ahead,
Behind I lag, but tears I won’t shed
Neither curse my fate
To block your way desperate.
Your life’s aim I’m not,
If so from your mind I’ll blot
Your gift will remain green
In my memoir of tears unseen.
And my gift too
In your amnesia will leave its clue...."
