My spectacular garden plume,
Whistling away like a happy groom,
When they smile and bloom,
My heart shoos away all gloom.
Many petals stand together unblemished,
Merry red Jungle flame cherished,
Red profusion of cool November,
Red fluorescence fondly to remember.
Bold flowers that wins the heart of Rukmini,
Blissful flowers that unite the lovers,
Green ‘Tulasi' that matches the flame of Lord Krishna,
Gorgeous garlands and offerings as ‘Archana'.
‘Thetchi' flowers remind you of the promises made,
Teaching a lesson that one should never shirk or break,
Together, the flowers stand in strength and unity,
Together, the bloms win the loving grace of Almighty.
Thank you Seema for reading, commenting and sharing your thoughts. God bless.
The following lines remind me of an Urdu translation of Kavivar Bihari's couplet: Green ‘Tulasi' that matches the flame of Lord Krishna मेरी भवबाधा हरो, राधा नागरि सोय / जा तन की झांई परे, स्याम हरित दुति होय..... कविवर बिहारी मेरे अफ़कारे दुनिया दूर कीजे राधिका रानी / कि जिनके सायएतन से हरे हों श्याम नूरानी..... स्व. मुंशी देवीप्रसाद 'प्रीतम'
