泰戈尔《园丁集》新译第15首·麝鹿

15

I run as a musk-deer runs in the shadow of the forest mad with his own perfume.

The night is the night of mid-May, the breeze is the breeze of the south.

I lose my way and I wander, I seek what I cannot get, I get what I do not seek.

From my heart comes out and dances the image of my own desire.

The gleaming vision flits on.

I try to clasp it firmly, it eludes me and leads astray.

I seek what I cannot get, I get what I do not seek.

译文：

我像麝鹿一样在林荫中奔跑，因自己的香气而发狂。

夜晚是五月中旬的夜晚，清风是来自南方的清风。

我迷了路，四处游荡，我追求的是我得不到的，我得到的不是我追求的。

我自己欲望的影像从心中走出来翩翩起舞。

那闪烁的幻象飘忽游移。

我想牢牢抓住它，它避开我并将我引入歧途。

我追求的是我得不到的，我得到的不是我追求的。
