Summary
कवी म्हणतात, चला, क्षितिजाच्या पलीकडे झेप घेऊया आणि तिथले सुंदर जग पाहूया. आपण बंधनांतून मुक्त होऊया, झोपेतून जागे होऊया आणि आळस व वाईट प्रवृत्ती जाळून टाकूया.
In the first stanza, the poet invites everyone to leap beyond the horizon together and behold the beautiful world that lies there. To achieve this, he says, we must free ourselves from every kind of bondage, awaken from the slumber of laziness, and burn away the sluggishness and negativity within us.
कवी म्हणतात, आपले सर्व सोबती पुढे निघून गेले आहेत आणि आपण मंदगतीने मागे राहिलो आहोत. आता आपणही यानगतीने (अवकाशयानाच्या वेगाने) एका क्षणात अवकाशात उड्डाण करूया.
In the second stanza the poet says that all our companions have gone ahead on the path of progress, while we have lagged behind at a sluggish pace. Now is the time, he urges, for us too to launch forward at the speed of a spacecraft, leaping into space in an instant to achieve progress.
शेवटी कवी म्हणतात, विज्ञानाच्या दृष्टीने आणि अध्यात्माच्या शक्तीने आपण दाही दिशांत शांतीचे गीत गुंजवूया.
In the final stanza the poet says that by uniting the rational vision of science with the inner strength of spirituality, let us make the song of peace resound in all ten directions. Through this, the poet conveys that science and spirituality are not opposites but that true peace and progress can be achieved only through their harmonious union.
