Telugu Original: Naarla Venkateswara Rao (01-12-1908 –13-03-1985)
Telugu Translation: Ch J Satyananda Kumar

Velugu venukane yirulu
Yirula venukanE velugu
Itu choodu!
Udaya sandhyaa sobha!

YendalOnE vaana
VaanalOnE yenda
Itu tirugu
Indrachaapapu sobagu!

Bratuku vennanti mruthi
Mruthi needanE bratuku
VinavEmi?
Puritinti kErinta!

Translation:

Gloom behind glow
Glow behind gloom
Look there!
Morning sun’s grandeur!

Drizzles behind sunshine
Sunshine in drizzles
Turn here
Rainbow’s splendor!

Death behind life
Life in shade of death
Why not listening?
Labour room's ecstasy!
