Gianjali by Rabindra Nath Tagore

Serial Number of the song : 9

O fool, to try to carry thyself upon thy own shoulders!
O begger, to come to beg at thy own door!
Leave all thy burdens on thy hands who can bear all,
and never look behind in regret.
Thy desire at once puts out the light from
the lamp it touches with its breath. It is unholy
---take not thy gifts through its unclean hands.
Accept only what is offered by sacred love.
