Limerick R35 (Hindi) Lion / शेर

Rating: 4.9

The lion is wondrous strong
And full of the wiles of wo; (woe)
And whether he pleye (play)
Or take his preye (prey)
He cannot do but slo. (slay)

(From An 11th Century Manuscipt from Europe. Name of the writer not known)
(यूरोप से प्राप्त 11वीं शताब्दी की एक पांडुलिपि से उद्धृत)

(Hindi Adaptation done by Rajnish Manga)
(हिंदी रूपांतरण रजनीश मंगा द्वारा किया गया)


आश्चर्य क्या जो शेर इतना शक्तिशाली होता है;
अपने शिकार की नज़रों में सदा मिसाली होता है;
चाहे तो खेल की बात हो,
चाहे शिकार दिन रात हो,
इनके दांतों और पंजों पर लिखा हलाली होता है.
