ସର୍ପବଶେ Under The Clutches Of The Snake Poem by Gajanan Mishra

କୋଉ ପୁରରେ କିଏ ରହି ଯାଉଛି କୋଉ ମାର୍ଗରେ ଜଣା ନାଇଁ। ଆଉ ବି ମତେ ଅଜ୍ଞାତ ହେ ମିତ୍ର ଲାଭହାନି ଭୋଗ ଅନୁରାଗ।ପାରୁ ନି ଜାଣି ସୁଖ ସାର।ଏଠି ଦ୍ୱାରୀ ଏ ସର୍ପ।ଦେଖ ଦେଖ ସର୍ପବଶେ ମୁଁ ତୋଷ।ଜଣା ନାଇଁ କୋଉଠି ଆରମ୍ଭ କୋଉଠି ଶେଷ!

In English;

I know not who is there in this body and where to he is going. Unknown to me also loss profit love luxury. I am unable to know essence of happiness. Here the snake is the guard. I am satisfied with the snake and under its clutches. Unknown where is the beginning and where is the end.
