吉檀迦利 Gitanjali 35

字號:

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
    Where knowledge is free;
    Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
    Where words come out from the depth of truth;
    Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
    Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
    Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---
    Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
    在那里,心是無畏的,頭也抬得高昂;
    在那里,知識是自由的;
    在那里,世界還沒有被狹小的家國的墻隔成片段;
    在那里,話是從真理的深處說出;
    在那里,不懈的努力向著"完美"伸臂;
    在那里,理智的清泉沒有沉沒在積習的荒漠之中;
    在那里,心靈是受你的指引,走向那不斷放寬的思想與行為――
    進入那自由的天國,我的父呵,讓我的國家覺醒起來罷.
