The glowing sun boasts with its full might
At the mid-path of day’s journey
As I stretches myself in the quiet bower of an oasis,
I know not the end of this unending exploration
In search of thee, the unseen personification.
Breaking my trance with an unheard note,
A sweet melody reasoning from a bush beyond
So sweet, so touchy, seems to be conveyed since bygone
When the Arabian knights would halt on fierce desert
To invigorate their mental hunger
Listening this enchanting note lingered for ever.
A little papia frisking in rapture on wavy branches
With her hypnotic note penetrating into my heart.
Ah! An indomitable desire to accompany thee,
Share thou joy & soothing apply on my mundane injury.
It seems to beckon me with her mesmeric tone
To be thy new companion in the world unknown.
Transporting we into an illuminating island
Where the rhythmic breaking noise of sea waves
Attempts to frighten you with water droplets on your tiny wings,
Fearful or naughtiness who knows? You plunge on my bosom.
Thou immortal bird! Sings intoxicating note for ever
Mortal fellow I, pray the Almighty to listen even in permanent somber.
