from Pylon Point
on Harbour Bridge -
a ship crawls in

Original ~
pyaas to hai par jaam nahin hai
taruvar hai par chhaaon nahin hai
...
Hail to Thee, O Kamakhya Devi, hail to Thee! !
To Thy abode at Nilanchal
Thy sons and daughters come to Thee,
...
Traveller O, why your feet have halted there?
Your terminus is still nowhere near.
Hear the brook that goes on singing in the woods,
...
Is andheri kothri men utar aayi roshni
Phir kisi ne aaj kholaa band roshandaan
Ek boodhe naujavaan ne kyaa bhari hunkaar
...
They all gather round the man in his seventies
Who is on a fast-unto-death against the muck:
I hear the flutter of a change in the spring wind!
...
Bhaya more meto Hanumaanaa.
Haun baalak main to ati nirbal, mohe nirbhaya balee banaanaa.
Ashta-siddhi nau nidhi ke daataa, ko hai jag men tor samaanaa.
Prabhu kaaraj hita laanghyo saagar, Lankpuree ko kiyo masaanaa.

(Mere man ye bataa de tu, from the Hindi Film 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna') ~
O my heart just tell me
whither you go

Original-Hindi Brajabhasha (by Surdas) ~
jo sukh hot Gopaalahin gaaye
so nahin hot kiye jap tap ke kotik teerath nhaaye
