English Translation of Tagore's original Bengali poem "KARTABYA GRAHAN" by DEBIDAS RAY
“Who will take over my duty?”
Shouted the setting Sun.
World listened, didn’t respond
Like a picture, silent it stood.
An earthen lamp which was present
However, promptly proclaimed,
“My Lord, whatever little I can
do,
I will do it with all my might.”
