Words Well Worth 10: Worthless Vain These Four Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Words Well Worth 10: Worthless Vain These Four
Vain is to ocean a rainfall,
Vain, food to him filled to the full,
Charity to one wanting none,
Vain as lamp to radiant sun!

Well, I must write it again. The first line says: vain it is to ocean a rainfall. And then other three things that are vain. Google would not have helped you dear reader.
My dear PH, this is not fair. My feedback to this was not long, but you didn't allow it, not only that you rubbed it off. I've seen much longer feedback than what I had just now.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
