Swaratikrama-Stepping Beyond Heaven Poem by rajagopal haran

Earlier also I tried a few things in Sanskrit; eventhough I have written many poems and articles in English and sometimes in Tamil, Sanskrit has been my dream; I wrote a poem for my company also; it went into the dust bin; now I wanted to plunge into Sanskrit from the Republic day! Seek all your blessings for a challenging journey in Sanskrit

I dedicate this to my Father, to whom I was a star; Father take me to those Mountain Peaks!

(Note: as I do not find Devnagari script in the Laptop, I am submitting the transliteration with the nearest translation in English)

Ati ramaneeyaa parabruthikaa
Sunddharam drusyatae thava aathmaa!
Sanaihi sanaihi Bhavati aaghati!
Bhavathi katam ajaanaath mama sakti?

“Vikasithum prayathnam kuru”
Iti thava aajna abhavath!
Aham aakasam lakshitam akaravam!

Parantu, kevalam parvatasya sikharam sampraaptam!
Kintu mandamaarudam mama sareeram anubhavati!
Oho! Mama Devata! Thatu Bhavati Eva!
Samprati maya swargam na ichchatae!

Meaning

Stepping Beyond Heaven

Very beautiful female cuckoo!
Your soul looks beautiful!
Your highness enter slowly
How do you know my power?

“Try to evolve! ”
Was your command!
I aimed at the sky!

But I could reach the mountain top only!
But my body could feel the gentle breeze!
My Angel, it’s you only
Heaven is not wished by me now!
