Tulsidas Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Valmiki will incarnate as Tulsidas in Kali Yuga,
So Parvati was told by her husband Shiva,
And retell the Sanskrit Ramayana,
Based on the life of Rama.

The epic was penned by Tulsidas,
Known as the Ramcharitmanas,
In the vernacular Awadhi,
The foretelling became true eventually.

The world saw a great poet, a reformer,
A devoted saint, a philosopher.
