Limerick R8 (Hindi) Cannibal Monarch / नरभक्षी राजा

Rating: 5.0


Limerick R8

A cannibal monarch imperial
Kept his wives on a diet of cereal,
But he didn't much care
What the women should wear,
Nor did they; it was quite immaterial.

(Name of the original writer not known)

Hindi translation by Rajnish Manga:

नरभक्षी था एक मगर वो राजाओं का राजा था,
उसकी हर इक बीवी को खाने को मिलता खाजा था,
चिंता उसे कभी न होती,
पहनेंगी वो स्कर्ट या धोती,
वो मरता है या जीता है, उनको भी नहीं अंदाजा था.

(अनुवाद/ रजनीश मंगा)
