A rajanigandha she
I am feeling the sweet scent coming to me
All through the night.
...
God, I had asked You for a red rose
As my sweetheart
But gave You not.
...
Sometimes the memories and remembrances of the old house
Sadden me so much
With the memories of the past,
The days spent by and lived in their company,
...
In a straw-thatched, bamboo-pillared cottage,
Open from all sides,
I used to live poorly
And used to pass my days
...
When the words, my mother, come to the mouth,
The eyes wet with
...
Who made the flowers in stone,
Chiselled and hewn out of the larger chunks
Or blocks of stone?
Poetry in stone,
...
You take your glass of wine, but be not a drunkard,
See it that you have a family,
You have small daughter and son to attend to
And in loaded full,
...
On seeing you drunkard, they are running out,
Your wife, son and daughter,
Make not please their life hell,
Just think, think you
...
Burquawalli, wherever go you, I shall keep following you,
You are the song of my life,
My shy and coy mistress,
In the dark you going on a bullock-cart to your country home
...
