Shakuntala, Classic Or Romantic? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Shakuntala
The daughter of Menaka and Vishwamitra,
How to enact you,
How to dress you,
What the costume, what the make-up,
Dress-up,
Shakuntala,
Shakuntala,
What the mystery, what the myth?

A king comes,
Comes and falls in love with you,
The daughterof hermitage,
Brahminical,
Vedic and Upanishadic
And comely
And elegant,
Shakuntala,
Shakuntala!

Shakuntala,
Shakuntala
Pastoral or classic or romantic,
In the lap of Nature
Or Brahminical,
The daughter of a rishi
Andcelestial damsel,
Born as a boon
Or in bane
Orfeeling blest!
