只要我一息尚存，我就称你为我的一切。

只要我一诚不灭，我就感觉到你在我的四围，任何事情，我都来请教你，任何时候都把我的爱献上给你。

只要我一息尚存，我就永不把你藏匿起来。

只要把我和你的意旨锁在一起的脚镣，还留着一小段，你的意旨就在我的生命中实现——这脚镣就是你的爱。

——选自泰戈尔《吉檀迦利》

Let only that little be left of me whereby I may name thee my all.

Let only that little be left of my will whereby I may feel thee on every side, and come to thee in everything, and offer to thee my love every moment.

Let only that little be left of me whereby I may never hide thee.

Let only that little of my fetters be left whereby I am bound with thy will, and thy purpose is carried out in my life——and that is the fetter of thy love.

——Tagore Gitanjali

后人用此词表示还有一丝真诚没有幻灭，还有一线希望没有放弃。
