Happy Birthday Raj Nandy Sahab Poem by Sathya Narayana

O' Poet humble, O' Pundit par excellence
a lot you learnt, a lot you taught
But still you are as vernal
as a just budding rose plant.
At an age...how much?
70...80 or more
why should you care
you're still young;
yeah as young as a strong stallion
ready to till the soil of life-terrain.
Yes, its now your life, your own journey,
longer than you did paddle so far,
may be a little tricky,
quite funny, but fulfilling verily this time...
surely a never ending trajectory
than that rugged road
you stomped so far with ease.
Come on; lunge in to the new domain
No need to pain your eyes
looking at distant horizons
no need to strain your legs
walking distant miles,
not necessary to carry the weight of mundane predicament...
close your eyes, take a deep breath
and silence your senses...
and step on with your soul-soles
on that invisible turf of holy realm..
there you are on the ultimate path
towards a new milieu of divine fragrance, unseen beauty
and inexplicable and eternal
joy.
You are now younger than ever,
stronger than never before sipping the nectar of endless bliss.
