作者簡介：
泰戈爾（1861～1941）泰戈爾出生於孟加拉。但人們一致認為他是印度人。因為泰戈爾在世時孟加拉還是屬於印度的。
評價：
印度孟加拉詩人，作傢，藝術傢，社會活動傢，是向西方介紹印度文化和把西方文化介紹到印度的很有影響的人物。
生平 ：
1861年5月7日生於西孟加拉邦加爾各答市，1941年8月7日卒於同地。傢庭屬於商人兼地主，婆羅門種姓。他於1907年退出運動回聖地尼克坦，過隱居生活，埋頭創作。1913年，他因英文版《吉檀迦利》榮獲諾貝爾文學獎，他始終關心世界政治和人民命運，傳播和平友誼，從事文化交流，支持人類的正義事業。
創作 ：
泰戈爾共寫瞭50多部詩集，12部中長篇小說，100餘篇短篇小說，20多部劇本，大量關於文學、哲學、政治方面的論著，還創作瞭1500餘幅畫和2000餘首歌曲，其中1首為印度國歌。 泰戈爾的詩集用英文出版的大致有：園丁集、吉檀枷利、新月集、采果集、飛鳥集。
自從 《飛鳥集》出版之後，中國詩壇上一種表現隨感的短詩就流行瞭起來。如冰心作的《繁星》，《春水》等。其中許多帶有哲理，這種晶瑩清麗的小詩贏得瞭不少人的喜愛。
《飛鳥集》既可譯為遊蕩之鳥的詩，也可理解為漂泊者之歌。詩集開篇便點題明意:“夏天的飛鳥，飛到我的窗前鳴歌，又飛去瞭。”(第一首)“世界上的一對小小的漂泊者呀。請留下你們的足印在我的文字裡。”（第二首）可見《飛鳥集》意味著泰戈爾心靈漂泊—-思維運動的歷程，藝術地傳遞出詩人對世態人生的探討，對理想境界的企望。
《飛鳥集》的詩大部分隻有一兩行，極少數是三四行。有人說，這是泰戈爾受日本俳句影響而作的。詩人把這些小題為《飛鳥集》，意在用這些描敘南來北往的漂泊者的長途跋涉的詩句，把自己比作尋求理想境界的“永恒的旅客”,記錄自己的行程。因此，在一兩行的詩句中，往往捕捉一個自然景物，敘說一個素理，猶如空中的閃電，海波的泛光，夕陽的餘輝，黎明的暗影，給人一種鮮明的印象，蘊藏一種深奧的哲理。雖然詩中表現的是一剎那的印象，或瞬息萬變的心裡想空中飛鳥沒有足印的行程，詩人似見非見，若有若無，虛無縹緲，難以捉摸，但隻要我們緊緊扣住詩人的基本哲學思想和社會觀，這部詩集中的哲理內容還是可以理解的。
《飛鳥集》325首全文（中英對照）
１ 夏天的飛鳥，飛到我的窗前唱歌，又飛去瞭。 秋天的黃葉，它們沒有什麼可唱，隻嘆息一聲，飛落在那裡。 Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign. ２ 世界上的一隊小小的漂泊者呀，請留下你們的足印在我的文字裡。 O Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. ３ 世界對著它的愛人，把它浩翰的面具揭下瞭。 它變小瞭，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。更多信息請訪問： The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. ４ 是大地的淚點，使她的微笑保持著青春不謝。 It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom. ５ 無垠的沙漠熱烈追求一葉綠草的愛，她搖搖頭笑著飛開瞭。 The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. ６ 如果你因失去瞭太陽而流淚，那麼你也將失去群星。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. ７ 跳舞著的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌聲，你的流動呢。你肯挾瘸足的泥沙而俱下麼？ The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness? ８ 她的熱切的臉，如夜雨似的，攪擾著我的夢魂。 Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. ９ 有一次，我們夢見大傢都是不相識的。 我們醒瞭，卻知道我們原是相親相愛的。 Once we dreamt that we were strangers.We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. １０ 憂思在我的心裡平靜下去，正如暮色降臨在寂靜的山林中。 Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening amongthe silent trees.
11 有些看不見的手，如懶懶的微風，正在我的心上奏著潺潺的樂聲。 Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. １２ “海水呀，你說的是什麼？” “是永恒的疑問。” “天空呀，你回答的話是什麼？” “是永恒的沉默。” “ What language is thine, O sea? ““The language of eternal question.““What language is thy answer, O sky?““The language of eternal silence.“ １３ 靜靜地聽，我的心呀，聽那世界的低語，這是它對你求愛的表示呀。 Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you. １４ 創造的神秘，有如夜間的黑暗，是偉大的。而知識的幻影卻不過如晨間之霧。 The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night–it is great.Delusions of knowledge are like the fog of the morning. １５ 不要因為峭壁是高的，便讓你的愛情坐在峭壁上。 Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high. １６ 我今晨坐在窗前，世界如一個路人似的，停留瞭一會，向我點點頭又走過去瞭。 I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes. １７ 這些微（風思），是樹葉的簌簌之聲呀；它們在我的心裡歡悅地微語著。There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have theirwhisper of joy in my mind. １８ 你看不見你自己，你所看見的隻是你的影子。 What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow. １９ 神呀，我的那些願望真是愚傻呀，它們雜在你的歌聲中喧叫著呢。 讓我隻是靜聽著吧。 My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master.Let me but listen. ２０ 我不能選擇那最好的。 是那最好的選擇我。 I cannot choose the best.The best chooses me.
２１ 那些把燈背在背上的人，把他們的影子投到瞭自己前面。 They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. ２２ 我的存在，對我是一個永久的神奇，這就是生活。 That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. ２３ “我們蕭蕭的樹葉都有聲響回答那風和雨。你是誰呢，那樣的沉默著？” “我不過是一朵花。” “We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?“ “I am a mere flower.“ ２４ 休息與工作的關系，正如眼瞼與眼睛的關系。 Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes. ２５ 人是一個初生的孩子，他的力量，就是生長的力量。 Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth. ２６ 神希望我們酬答他，在於他送給我們的花朵，而不在於太陽和土地。 God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth. ２７ 光明如一個裸體的孩子，快快活活地在綠葉當中遊戲，它不知道人是會欺詐的。 The light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie. ２８ 啊，美呀，在愛中找你自己吧，不要到你鏡子的諂諛去找尋。更多 O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror. ２９ 我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上沖激著，以熱淚在上邊寫著她的題記：“我愛你。” My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, “I love thee.“ ３０ “月兒呀，你在等候什麼呢？” “向我將讓位給他的太陽致敬。” “Moon, for what do you wait?“ “To salute the sun for whom I must make way.
３１ 綠樹長到瞭我的窗前，仿佛是喑啞的大地發出的渴望的聲音。 The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth. ３２ 神自己的清晨，在他自己看來也是新奇的。 His own mornings are new surprises to God. ３３ 生命從世界得到資產，愛情使它得到價值。 Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love. ３４ 枯竭的河床，並不感謝它的過去。 The dry river-bed finds no thanks for its past. ３５ 鳥兒願為一朵雲。 雲兒願為一隻鳥。 The bird wishes it were a cloud. The cloud wishes it were a bird. ３６ 瀑佈歌唱道：“我得到自由時便有瞭歌聲瞭。” The waterfall sing, “I find my song, when I find my freedom.“ ３７ 我說不出這心為什麼那樣默默地頹喪著。 是為瞭它那不曾要求，不曾知道，不曾記得的小小的需要。 I cannot tell why this heart languishes in silence. It is for small needs it never asks, or knows or remembers. ３８ 婦人，你在料理傢務的時候，你的手足歌唱著，正如山間的溪水歌唱著在小石中流過。 Woman, when you move about in your household service your limbs sing like a hill stream among its pebbles. ３９ 當太陽橫過西方的海面時，對著東方留下他的最後的敬禮。 The sun goes to cross the Western sea, leaving its last salutation to the East. ４０ 不要因為你自己沒有胃口而去責備你的食物。 Do not blame your food because you have no appetite. ４１ 群樹如表示大地的願望似的，踮起腳來向天空窺望。 The trees, like the longings of the earth, stand atiptoe to peep at the heaven. ４２ 你微微地笑著，不同我說什麼話。而我覺得，為瞭這個，我已等待得久瞭。 You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. ４３ 水裡的遊魚是沉默的，陸地上的獸類是喧鬧的，空中的飛鳥是歌唱著的。 但是，人類卻兼有海裡的沉默，地上的喧鬧與空中的音樂。 The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air. ４４ 世界在躊躇之心的琴弦上跑過去，奏出憂鬱的樂聲。 The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. ４５ 他把他的刀劍當作他的上帝。 當他的刀劍勝利的時候他自己卻失敗瞭。 He has made his weapons his gods. When his weapons win he is defeated himself. ４６ 神從創造中找到他自己。 God finds himself by creating. ４７ 陰影戴上她的面幕，秘密地，溫順地，用她的沉默的愛的腳步，跟在“光”後邊。 Shadow, with her veil drawn, follows Light in secret meekness, with her silent steps of love. ４８ 群星不怕顯得象螢火那樣。 The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies. ４９ 謝謝神，我不是一個權力的輪子，而是被壓在這輪子下的活人之一。 I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it. ５０ 心是尖銳的，不是寬博的，它執著在每一點上，卻並不活動。 The mind, sharp but not broad, sticks at every point but does not move.
５１ 你的偶像委散在塵土中瞭，這可證明神的塵土比你的偶像還偉大。 You idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God“s dust is greater than your idol. ５２ 人不能在他的歷史中表現出他自己，他在歷史中奮鬥著露出頭角。 Man does not reveal himself in his history, he struggles up through it. ５３ 玻璃燈因為瓦燈叫它做表兄而責備瓦燈。但明月出來時，玻璃 燈卻溫和地微笑著，叫明月為——“我親愛的，親愛的姐姐。” While the glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin the moon rises, and the glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her,“—My dear, dear sister.“ ５４ 我們如海鷗之與波濤相遇似地，遇見瞭，走近瞭。海鷗飛去，波濤滾滾地流開，我們也分別瞭。 Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near.The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart. ５５ 我的白晝已經完瞭，我象一隻泊在海灘上的小船，諦聽著晚潮跳舞的樂聲。 My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening. ５６ 我們的生命是天賦的，我們惟有獻出生命，才能得到生命。 Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it. ５７ 當我們是大為謙卑的時候，便是我們最接近偉大的時候。 We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility. ５８ 麻雀看見孔雀負擔著它的翎尾，替它擔憂。 The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of its tail. ５９ 決不要害怕剎那－－永恒之聲這樣唱著。 Never be afraid of the moments–thus sings the voice of the everlasting. ６０ 風於無路之中尋求最短之路，又突然地在“無何有之國”終之瞭它的追求。 The hurricane seeks the shortest road by the no-road, and suddenly ends its search in the Nowhere.
６１ 在我自己的杯中，飲瞭我的酒吧，朋友。 一倒在別人的杯裡，這酒的騰跳的泡沫便要消失瞭。 Take my wine in my own cup, friend. It loses its wreath of foam when poured into that of others. ６２ “完全”為瞭對“不全”的愛，把自己裝飾得美麗。 The perfect decks itself in beauty for the love of the Imperfect. ６３ 神對人說：“我醫治你所以傷害你，愛你所以懲罰你。” God says to man, “I heal you therefore I hurt, love you therefore punish.“ ６４ 謝謝火焰給你光明，但是不要忘瞭那執燈的人，他是堅忍地站在黑暗當中呢。 Thank the flame for its light, but do not forget the lampholder standing in the shade with constancy of patience. ６５ 小草呀，你的足步雖小，但是你擁有你足下的土地。 Tiny grass, your steps are small, but you possess the earth under your tread. ６６ 幼花的蓓蕾開放瞭，它叫道：“親愛的世界呀，請不要萎謝瞭。” The infant flower opens its bud and cries, “Dear World, please do not fade.“ ６７ 神對於那些大帝國會感到厭惡，卻決不會厭惡那些小小的花朵。 God grows weary of great kingdoms, but never of little flowers. ６８ 錯誤經不起失敗，但是真理卻不怕失敗。 Wrong cannot afford defeat but Right can. ６９ 瀑佈歌唱道：“雖然渴者隻要少許的水便夠瞭，我卻很快活地給與瞭我的全部的水。 “I give my whole water in joy,“ sings the waterfall, though little of it is enough for the thirsty. ７０ 把那些花朵拋擲上去的那一陣子無休無止的狂歡大喜的勁兒，其源泉是在哪裡呢？ Where is the fountain that throws up these flowers in a ceaseless outbreak of ecstasy? ７１ 樵夫的斧頭，問樹要斧柄。
樹便給瞭他。 The woodcutter“s axe begged for its handle from the tree. The tree gave it. ７２ 這寡獨的黃昏，幕著霧與雨，我在我的心的孤寂裡，感覺到它的嘆息。 In my solitude of heart I feel the sigh of this widowed evening veiled with mist and rain. ７３ 貞操是從豐富的愛情中生出來的財富。 Chastity is a wealth that comes from abundance of love. ７４ 霧，象愛情一樣，在山峰的心上遊戲，生出種種美麗的變幻。 The mist, like love, plays upon the heart of the hills and bring out surprises of beauty. ７５ 我們把世界看錯瞭，反說它欺騙我們。 We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. ７６ 詩人的風，穿越海洋和森林，追求它自己的歌聲。 The poet wind is out over the sea and the forest to seek his own voice. ７７ 每一個孩子出生時都帶來信息說：神對人並未灰心失望。 Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. ７８ 綠草求她地上的伴侶。 樹木求他天空的寂寞。 The grass seeks her crowd in the earth. The tree seeks his solitude of the sky. ７９ 人時常對自己築起堤防。 Man barricades against himself. ８０ 我的朋友，你的語聲飄蕩在我的心裡，象那海水的低吟聲繞繚在靜聽著的松林之間。 Your voice, my friend, wanders in my heart, like the muffled sound of the sea among these listening pines.
８１ 這個不可見的黑暗之火焰，以繁星為其火花的，到底是什麼呢？ What is this unseen flame of darkness whose sparks are the stars? ８２ 使生如夏花之絢爛，死如秋葉之靜美。更多信息請訪問：http://www.2abc8.com/ Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves. ８３ 那想做好人的，在門外敲著門；那愛人的看見門敞開著。 He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open. ８４ 在死的時候，眾多和而為一；在生的時候，一化為眾多。 神死瞭的時候，宗教便將合而為一。 In death the many becomes one; in life the one becomes many. Religion will be one when God is dead. ８５ 藝術傢是自然的情人，所以他是自然的奴隸，也是自然的主人。 The artist is the lover of Nature, therefore he is her slave and her master. ８６ “你離我有多遠呢，果實呀？” “我藏在你心裡呢，花呀。” “How far are you from me, O Fruit?“ “I am hidden in your heart, O Flower.“ ８７ 這個渴望是為瞭那個在黑夜裡感覺得到，在大白天裡卻看不見的人。 This longing is for the one who is felt in the dark, but not seen in the day. ８８ 露珠對湖水說道；“你是在荷葉下面的大露珠，我是在荷葉上面的較小的露珠。” “You are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf, I am the smaller one on its upper side,“ said the dewdrop to the lake. ８９ 刀鞘保護刀的鋒利，它自己則滿足於它的遲鈍。 The scabbard is content to be dull when it protects the keenness of the sword. ９０ 在黑暗中，“一”視如一體；在光亮中，“一”便視如眾多。 In darkness the One appears as uniform; in the light the One appears as manifold. ９１ 大地借助於綠草，顯出她自己的殷勤好客。 The great earth makes herself hospitable with the help of the grass. ９２ 綠葉的生與死乃是旋風的急驟的旋轉，它的更廣大的旋轉的圈子乃是在天上繁星之間徐緩的轉動。 The birth and death of the leaves are the rapid whirls of the eddy whose wider circles move slowly among stars. ９３ 權勢對世界說道：“你是我的。” 世界便把權勢囚禁在她的寶座下面。 愛情對世界說道：“我是你的。” 世界便給予愛情以在它屋內來往的自由。 Power said to the world, “You are mine.“ The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world, “I am thine.“ The world gave it the freedom of her house. ９４ 濃霧仿佛是大地的願望。 它藏起瞭太陽，而太陽原是她所呼求的。 The mist is like the earth“s desire. It hides the sun for whom she cries. ９５ 安靜些吧，我的心，這些大樹都是祈禱者呀。 Be still, my heart, these great trees are prayers. ９６ 瞬刻的喧聲，譏笑著永恒的音樂。 The noise of the moment scoffs at the music of the Eternal. ９７ 我想起瞭浮泛在生與愛與死的川流上的許多別的時代，以及這些時代之被遺忘，我便感覺到離開塵世的自由瞭。 I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and loveand death and are forgotten, and I feel the freedom of passing away. ９８ 我靈魂裡的憂鬱就是她的新婚的面紗。 這面紗等候著在夜間卸去。 The sadness of my soul is her bride“s veil. It waits to be lifted in the night. ９９ 死之印記給生的錢幣以價值，使它能夠用生命來購買那真正的寶物。 Death“s stamp gives value to the coin of life; making it possibleto buy with life what is truly precious. １００ 白雲謙遜地站在天之一隅。 晨光給它戴上霞彩。 The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky. The morning crowned it with splendour.
１０１
塵土受到損辱，卻以她的花朵來報答。 The dust receives insult and in return offers her flowers.

１０４ 遠遠去瞭的夏之音樂，翱翔於秋間，尋求它的舊壘。 The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest.
１０５ 不要從你自己的袋裡掏出勛績借給你的朋友，這是污辱他的。 Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket.
１０６ 無名的日子的感觸，攀緣在我的心上，正象那綠色的苔蘚，攀緣在老樹的周身。 The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart like mosses round the old tree.
１０７ 回聲嘲笑她的原聲，以證明她是原聲。 The echo mocks her origin to prove she is the original.
１０８ 當富貴利達的人誇說他得到神的特別恩惠時，上帝卻羞瞭。 God is ashamed when the prosperous boasts of His special favour.
１０９ 我投射我自己的影子在我的路上，因為我有一盞還沒有燃點起來的明燈。 I cast my own shadow upon my path, because I have a lamp that has not been lighted.
１１０ 人走進喧嘩的群眾裡去，為的是要淹沒他自己沉默的呼號。 Man goes into the noisy crowed to drown his own clamour of silence.

３１５讓我真真實實地活著吧，我的上帝。這樣，死對於我也就成瞭真實的瞭。Let me live truly, my Lord, so that death to me become true.
３１６人類的歷史在忍耐地等待著被侮辱者的勝利。Man’s history is waiting in patience for the triumph of the insulted man.
３１７我這一刻感到你的眼光正落在我的心上，象那早晨陽光中的沉默落在已收獲的孤寂的田野上一樣。
I feel thy gaze upon my heart this moment like the sunny silence of the morning upon thelonely field whose harvest is over.
３１８在這喧嘩的波濤起伏的海中，我渴望著詠歌之鳥。I long for the Island of Songs across this heaving Sea of Shouts.
３１９夜的序曲是開始於夕陽西下的音樂，開始於它對難以形容的黑暗所作的莊嚴的贊歌。The prelude of the night is commenced in the music of the sunset, in its solemn hymn to the ineffable dark.
３２０我攀登上高峰，發現名譽在荒蕪不毛的高處，簡直找不到一個遮身之地。我的引導者呵，領導著我在光明逝去之前，進到沉靜的山谷裡去吧。在那裡，一生的收獲將會成熟為黃金的智慧。
I have scaled the peak and found no shelter in fame’s bleak and barren height. Lead me, my Guide, before the light fades, into the valley of quiet where life’s harvest mellows into golden wisdom.
３２１在這個黃昏的朦朧裡，好些東西看來都仿佛是幻象一般——尖塔的底層在黑暗裡消失，樹頂象是墨水的模糊的斑點似的。我將等待著黎明，而當我醒來的時候，就會看到在光明在您的城市。
Things look phantastic in this dimness of the dusk—the spires whose bases are lost in the dark and tree tops like blots of ink. I shall wait for the morning and wake up to see thy city in the light.
３２２我曾經受苦過，曾經失望過，曾經體會過“死亡”，於是我以我在這偉大的世界裡為樂。I have suffered and despaired and known death and I am glad that I am in this great world.
３２３在我的一生裡，也有貧乏和沉默的地域；它們是我忙碌的日子得到日光與空氣的幾片空曠之地。
There are tracts in my life that are bare and silent. They are the open spaces where mybusy days had their light and air.
３２４我的未完成的過去，從後邊纏繞到我身上，使我難於死去。請從它那裡釋放瞭我吧。Release me from my unfulfilled past clinging to me from behind making death difficult.
３２５“我相信你的愛。”讓這句話做我最後的話。Let this be my last word, that I trust thy love.
