Transcreated from Tagore's klaanti amar khoma koro go probhu - some of these lines I had heard from a neighbour back in 1965, in Ranchi.
****
This weariness forgive me o my lord.
If ever on my way
I fall behind
Forgive, my lord, forgive!
This fearful heart of mine
That trembles so today
Forgive, my lord, forgive!
This cowardice forgive me o my lord.
If ever I look back
And think no more to go
Forgive, my lord, forgive!
The glory of your sun
Droops these flowers for your worship;
That weakness do forgive o my lord.
If ever on my way
I fall behind
Forgive, my lord, forgive.
