Hey dear Unseen Lass, Mysterious as love, as mysterious as it am I drawn towards you. But I tell no fib like others. “Beauty is truth; truth beauty,” as Keats speaks, I see all in you, every day in my dreams: you in the nightingale’s flight, afar in the sunset’s rays, in the fluttering prayer flags and rustling leaves, the roses in the heavenly gardens, in the pool of foamy tea, in the crested moon and of all, you quiver as fishes in my heart. Yet all these lovely and heavenly feelings, in reality you never exists(indeed it was before I saw you), so the day in and night out, lonely as a solitary reaper my soul roves above time and space, as much as maddened poets do in romantic poems appreciating the unheard beauty of unknown bounds. But what great aims would in a shattered soul and broken wings remain? So, did Tagore solve this mystery? He never did, never in Unknown Woman. But in man’s heart is an undying hope and wandering soul, so am I. You do exist in the distant hamlets or even here in my place. So I am in this unceasing quest of love. Hey dear you are here finally out of reach a yard away. I panting and sweating in front of you I fear even to look at you that make me peep and jip. Sometimes I want to run away from you looking at my way of greeting you with my complete silence. But I cannot even stay for a while without thinking of you. You are so close but you are out of reach yet. Yet you know not. That I cannot tell I love you, secretly I write in my heart of poetry. I pray always that you are happy and smiling. No chance that you will know me and love me for I would never utter a word to you for the fear of you going away. Instead I will speak to your heart and pray to god to set plans for me. That gives me more hope perhaps. I sadly end this prose thinking about me but happily thinking about you. It’s now god alone shall decide my fate for me. Farewell, I have always loved you as my source of charming and captivating truthful beauty. And god! Do my justice. Ah! Let me out from this prison of love. Waiting for thee Ever your soul mate
