Face To Face

Day after day, O lord of my life,
shall I stand before thee face to face.
With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,
shall I stand before thee face to face.

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.

In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil
and with struggle, among hurrying crowds
shall I stand before thee face to face.

And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face.

    "O King of kings, alone and speechless
    shall I stand before thee face to face."Tagore is a mystic...his thoughts are very similar to that of the great scholar Dr. Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal. The beauty of the poem is the humble request to have a face-to-face meeting with Almighty...this is great!
