Walk Alone if need be but never leave the path…..

Walk Alone if need be 

but never leave the path…..

The path is difficult and lonely….

yes, many times it is depressing too……

but you CAN do it and you HAVE it in you.

Walk alone if need be

But never leave the path that takes you to yonder  shores 

where there is no pain or suffering.

Walk alone if need be

But never leave the path.

 

To leave the lust, anger and hatred

I know seems next to impossible

But trust me, it just seems

It is not so…..

To test you and to weaken you will come

Many a players in your life

And will come in every station of life

To play their part to perfection

That you may falter and give in to your vices

But you can win over these temptations……

If you just don’t give in

And keep up the moral high.

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path.

 

If you become them, then say who’s won?

If you can’t change them to being you

Atleast you don’t become them!

Think and think wisely….

For your every thought is governed by them

If it is filled with anger and hatred

And you have won

If you are peaceful and calm

On their face and laugh at their idiosyncracies……

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path!

Because at the end of the path

It is not if you have won over them or not that decides who’s won.

One who loses to his heart is a loser

And one who has won his heart is a winner……

 

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path

Walk alone, walk alone…..

 

if you are open to bengali song listen to Kishoreda singing Rabindranath Tagore's eklo chalo song " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmzvr3aZXQc

and the translation of this one of most Rabindra Sangeet song is :

If they answer not to your call walk alone

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou unlucky one,

open your mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou unlucky one,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they shut doors and do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou unlucky one,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite your own heart,

and let it burn alone.
