क ् ल ै ब ् य ं म ा स ् म ग म
प ा र ् थ न ै त त ् त ् व य ् य ु प प द ् य त े

do not yield to unmanliness
O son of Pritha
it does not become you
shake off this base faint-heartnedness and arise
O scorcher of enemies!

who is shining smile
bestower of all happiness
whose heart is full of mercy
whose strength is ready
to save any soul from danger

who is decorated by various gems
with harmonious praises
wih melodious hymns
in a dream you came
and I knew you are special

you are the inspiration
you are the rainbow
you are the moon
you are the sun
you are the air

I need you, now, always, and forever
who's always our eyes, our ears
our hope, our spirit, our family
when it is thunderstorm
you are my lighthouse

it is the blood of brotherhood
it is the rope of sisterhood
embrace the precious
it is the tenderness
it is the love inside

like a universe vision of light
like a divine embroidery
through the river of life
in purest and noblest
nature song ascends

let me carry you in my heart
let me carry you in my mind
let me carry you in my soul
let me carry you in my love
may be the closest one

क ् ल ै ब ् य ं म ा स ् म ग म

Dear Siddiqui, This is a devotional poem based on The Geeta where Krishna is inspiring Arjuna to fight his kith and kins in the devine war.Your devotion to Karin Anderson is exemplary and interwoven like an embroidary with selected words embeded in imageries so colourful that the receipient must be a lucky one and of course, deserving.Particularly, these lines are worth mentioning to show the devotion: 'you are the inspiration you are the rainbow you are the moon you are the sun you are the air' OR 'let me carry you in my heart let me carry you in my mind let me carry you in my soul let me carry you in my love may be the closest to me' While the first paragraph suggest the devotion, the second one suggest for ultimate submission. Your paraphrasing and rhythm made the poem more attractive.Thanks for sharing As a poem A-10-FROM ME Rajkumar
