我的祈祷

             泰戈尔

让我不要祈祷在险恶中得到庇护，
但祈祷能无畏的面对它们，
让我不祈求我的痛苦会停止，
但求我的心能征服它。
让我在生命的战场上不盼望同盟，
而使用我自己的力量。
让我不在忧虑的恐怖中渴望被救，
但希望用坚忍来获得我的自由。
允准我，我虽是一个弱者，
只在我成功中感觉到你的仁慈，
但让我在失败中找到你的手紧握。

Let me not pray to be sheltered from danders but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life’s battlefield but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward,
feeling your mercy in my success alone;
but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
