Text: Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941)

In one salutation to thee, my God,
Let all my senses spread out
and touch this world at thy feet.
Like a raincloud of July hung low
with its burden of unshed showers,
let all my mind bend down at thy door
in one salutation to thee.
Let all my songs gather together
Their diverse strains into a single current
And flow to a sea of silence
In one salutation to thee.
Like a flock of homesick cranes
Flying night and day back to their mountain nests,
let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.
