飞鸟集

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves――生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美

你微微地笑着，不同我说什么话。 而我觉得，为了这个，我已等待得久了。 You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. —泰戈尔

生如夏花之绚烂,死如秋叶之静美 Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves. 如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

根是地下的枝，枝是空中的根。 Roots are the branches down in the earth.Branches are roots in the air.

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

生命如横越的大海，我们相聚在一这条小船上。死时，我们便到了岸，各去各的世界。 This life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship. In death we reach the shore and go to our different worlds.

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

生命注满了爱，就如酒杯斟满了酒。 Love is life in its fulness like the cup with the wine.

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 有一次，我梦见大家素不相识，醒来后，才知道我们原来相亲相爱。

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open,or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance? 压迫着我的，到底是我的想要外出的灵魂呢，还是那世界的灵魂，敲着我心的门，想要进来呢？

— 泰戈尔 《新月集·飞鸟集》

The silent night has the beauty of the mother and the clamorous day of the child. 静夜有母亲的美丽，如喧哗的白日之于孩子。
