The Way My Life Is

The way my life is, it will remain the same way. In hardship
and in ease; in conflict and sway
to the everyday rhythm. Greeting all on my path —
How dear they will be to me, and to them I will be so dear.

Every moment will go like this: a life hued
with joy and sorrow. In the playground of a colourful world,
where He frolics with us all —
He, Who will be dear to me. And to Him, I will be so dear.

(This is my translation of a Bengali song, ‘জীবন আমার চলছে যেমন তেমনি ভাবে’, by Rabindranath Tagore.)
