The Incomprehensible' is a great poem of tagore that speaks of eternal mystery of human mind (soul). The poem talks about the enormous mystery of human mind. Poet suggests that it is ok if we can grasp only a part of the poet's (any person's) mind, because it is perhaps not possible to understand it fully. Here is a snapshot transliteration:Dont You Understand Me?
Your curious, ocean deep eyes
trying hard to understand me
the way full moon stares over Atlantic
to fathom the depth of the ocean
If it were a gem,
What do I want to tell you?
If it were just pleasure. You could make it out of my smile.
It has no limit of sorrows and joys,
Its ok if you dont understand me in full,
Your curious, ocean deep eyes
trying hard to understand me
the way full moon stares over Atlantic
to fathom the depth of the ocean
I have nothing to hide,
All are for your eyes
My vast, unbounded mind
I have given you everything so that
You could understand me better,
Is that why you dont?
If it were a gem,
I would have given it finest cuts before I
Offer you the necklace made of it.
If it were a flower bloomed in a spring morning,
I would have plucked it only to decorate your hairs.
But dear, it is a heart of a human.
You dont know it full, yet you are the Queen of this kingdom.
What do I want to tell you?
Deep in my heart, who is singing silently day in and Day out?
Like late night fills the world with festival of silence.
If it were just pleasure. You could make it out of my smile.
If it were just a pain, you could make it out from my tears or sad face.
But we are talking about love of a human heart here.
It has no limit of sorrows and joys,
Always full and empty of feelings
New to newer pains strike me days in and out,
So I cannot make me any more understandable to you,
Although I would love to.
Its ok if you dont understand me in full,
Rather you may read my eyes for days and nights.
Some of loves can be known, as we know part of our minds.
Who have even understood the whole of a human heart?
