My lovely mother,
My simple mother.

God, save me, save me from the poets,
Indian English poets and poetesses,
Calling themselves Wyatt, Spenser, Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton, Donne, Marvell,

Poet, poet, poet, God, where are You,
Are you listening to me,
O, God,
My God,

From the mad people,
Pseudo-scholars and critics
Maddening it all,

Why has God made you so beautiful?
I just ask on seeing her
Why has God so beautiful?
A girl never seen before,
...
Your God-gifted face,
Golden hair,
Glistening face,
Lustrous eyes,

Will life come to a close
As they keep saying about the heat wave and the cold wave
Taking their toll by turn,
The soaring temperature

My God, the blunder of being a poet,
You make me not a poet again, if this be,
Putting aside everything, see me, how mad am I
After becoming a poet,

I love you,
But it gets said to,
The tongue slips and it gets out,
...
God, God save You,
Beautiful Ukraine
From the rebels,
Save You

O God, how to lift
The dead body of the mother!
The skies have fallen over
And the burden of the load
...
God, return me my purity of heart,
That chastity
Which I had in the beginning,
God, return me, return me,
...
I saw you,
Just from a distance,
A beauty never seen before
And thanked God
...
I saw her and said it to myself,
Wonderful,
Again, whispered I, wonderful,
Very, very wonderful
...
God is great, God is great, isn't it?
But friend, is it a new thing that you are saying
...
Am I here,
Just your God-gifted face.
...
I think about your
God-gifted face
That God has given to you.

May I confide in You to say,
Even if,
Even if they are not…

Are You listening to me,
As here lie I on the hotline,
Reporting You, Your staff reporter perhaps,

Of my native tongue
Then an English poet

As my sweetheart
But gave You not.

Of clay,
Make me not a poet
Again

Poets are coming
And on finding them approaching,
Let me run away
Taking my father's name

My God, the blunder of being a poet,
You make me not a poet again, if this be,
Putting aside everything, see me, how mad am I

So lovely and marvellous
Just like a golden dream
Saying good day,

So self-centred, so selfish,
So narrow and parochial,
So anti-Hindi and linguistical,

As for their posting and placement
And I am still not
Instead of my works.

And to throw away not good at all.
