Ki Shur Baje Amar Prane #297/389

Tagore’s lyrics of Ki Shur Baje Amar Prane (What is this tune playing in my heart) have been translated from Bengali by Professor Dr. Fakrul Alam

What is this tune playing in my heart all day long?

Only my mind and I know the tune and can feel it playing

Why am I always awake? From whom do I crave the tune as a boon?

Why do I forever keep looking at the pathway?

Morning comes to my doorway; evening descends on forests.

Mornings and evenings I keep hearing the flute play,

Making work impossible. Who is it playing that tune all day long?
