Where the mind
is without fear |
| |
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.
~ Chitto Jetha Bhayshunyo. |

Walk Alone |
| |
If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou of evil luck,
Open thy mind and speak out alone.
If they turn away, and
desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou of evil luck,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.
If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou of evil luck,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.
~ Ekla Chalo Re |
