Tagore Song (#117) Why Do I Need To Go Temple Back And Forth Poem by Tushar Ray

(tomar pujar chhole tomay vule thaki)


In the name of creating Thy worshipping
I keep on forgetting Thyself
I don’t realize when Thou trick me
I do not get the chance to touch Thy feet
Staying behind flower garlands
Candle lights and incense smoke
I start calling Thou from behind the curtain
Designed for admiring Thy activities

For seeing Thee, I keep those wrong materials
I have my thirsty eyes for those
Why do I need to go back and forth to temple?
I will spread a sheet in corner of my mind
Calling Thee with my modest mind keeping quiet
