To Rambha Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Oh Rambha! The Queen of the apsarases thus!
You have no right to be so dashingly gorgeous!
Vishwamitra was not seduced by your beauty,
But I could not resist myself certainly!

I felt so sorry when violated you were by Ravana,
Yet the due chastisement he got from Brahma!
Ever chaste you are according to me,
Ever young, ever beset with beauty!

I wish the mortal girls could have your loveliness!
I know that you are breathing now in happiness!
