Save me not from dangers

Save me not from dangers

give me the courage to face them.

I don’t want your consolation

for my aching heart, grieving soul

give me the power to overcome grief.

Don’t provide me shelter against problem

give me the strength of facing problems.

Even if I am deprived everywhere, lose all

let my soul never accept it as loss.

 

Don’t rescue me when I am in trouble

give me the power to overcome it.

Don’t carry my loads for me

give me the strength to carry it myself.

When I am happy let your face shine

in my humble, loving heart.

When the entire world turns my foe

let me not suspect your glory for a second.


Rabindranath Tagore. 

Bengali: bipode more roksha koro e nohe mor prarthana
