Exile Of Rama Poem by S.D. TIWARI

When Lord Rama exiled for jungle
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

How would He face the hard-ships
of dreaded forests for fourteen years!
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Wept all the men, wept all women,
Wept out all the Ayodhya's children.
Wept all the creatures present there.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Wailed mother Kaushilya in grief,
Mother Sumitra, also did weep,
on Rama's banishment; despaired.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Vanished cuckoo's song, chirps of birds,
all the trees and plants got withered;
fragrance of the flowers disappeared.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Dashrath could not bear Rama's exile.
Ayodhya's grieved king gave his life.
Water stopped flowing; Saryu river's.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Whoever saw him on way, was sad;
Sad were the animals of forests.
Stuck on, sad eyes of deer and bears.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Who deserved the opulence of palaces,
He is exiled to live in demon's places.
What would He eat, would sleep where.
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.

Kaikeyee too wept repenting.
Her wicked plans, Bharat was rejecting.
No one will forgive, her deed unfair
Everyone in Ayodhya shed tears.
