Poem (Text)
Have you not heard his silent steps?
He comes, comes, ever comes.
Every moment and every age,
every day and every night he comes, comes, ever comes.
Many a song have I sung in many a mood of mind,
but all their notes have always proclaimed,
'He comes, comes, ever comes.'
In the fragrant days of sunny April through the forest path he comes,
comes, ever comes.
In the rainy gloom of July nights on the thundering chariot of clouds
he comes, comes, ever comes.
In sorrow after sorrow it is his steps that press upon my heart,
and it is the golden touch of his feet that makes my joy to shine.
Summary of the Poem:
Tagore asks his readers whether they have ever experienced the constantly approaching Silent Steps regardless of age and time. In his songs regardless of his ‘mood of mind’ Tagore felt His sympathetic presence. The Silent Steps approach regardless of the place and season. He comes to the poet when he is in trouble and fills his heart with blessings, and with His touch of Feet rescues him out of the plight.
Theme:
The main focus of the poem is the Almighty God, known by many epithets; Allah, God, Bhagwan, Creator, Soul of the universe etc. He visits His creation all the time and does not let them suffer alone in their miseries. The repetition of the line “he comes, comes, ever comes” intensifies God’s concern and love for the human being.
Conclusion:
This poem strengthens the conceptions: God is Omnipresent (all-pervasive) Omnipotent (all-powerful) and Omniscient (all-knowing). And this idea helps overcome the fear of suffering and pessimism.

Para no: 01 میرے گھر کے سامنے ایک باغ ہے۔ اس میں بہت سے پودے اور درخت ہیں۔ بہارکے موسم میں کئ رنگ کے پھول کھلتے ہیں۔ ان کی خشبو ارد گرد پھیل جاتی ہے۔ شام کو باغ آدمیوں، عورتوں اور بچوں سے بھر جاتا ہے لوگ ِادھر اُدھر پھرتے ہیں اور لطف اٹھاتے ہیں۔ بچے باغ میں دوڑتے ہیں۔ اب وہ یہاں اور دوسرے لمحے باغ کے دوسرے کونے میں ہیں۔ ہر شام میں بھی باغ میں سیر کے لئے جاتا ہوں۔ بہت سے مالی باغ کی دیکھ بھال کرتے ہیں۔ Translation: There is a garden in front of my house. There are many plants and trees in it. In spring season flower of many colours blossoms. Their fragrance spreads all around. In the evening the garden is crowded by men, women and children. People wander here and there and enjoy themselves. Children run into the garden. At first, they are here and the other moment they are in the next corner of the garden. Every evening, I also visit the garden. Many gardeners take care of it.
