NOBILITY - Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya

 

nobility

(Original in Bangali)

 

NOBILITY


Of a simple thing I speak to you,
A right thing indeed;
That, you won't be loved,
Unless you give your love to others;
This I tell you frankly.

     Love bestows joy!
     It is the prime factor in life,
     The whole world has been kept going with the joy of love,
Then why not love the world and become happy?

It's an experience-so wonderful, so rare!
You won't get a parallel anywhere.
To give and to receive, both make you happy;
So I tell you, why not keep a loving heart?

     But there remains just one little thing unsaid,
     This I whisper into your ears,
     I call him noble who gives
     Without asking for anything in return.
     And I wait ever to see such a person.

( Translated in English )
