Spgm 035 - Kovalan Left Her Alone Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

MADHAVI SANG.

While playing the strings,
Madhavi continued to sing
Several other classical songs,
With her melodious tunes.

LONG LIVE THE EVENING.

"Oh evening, when strings I played,
You came here and with me stayed.
It's what for? To loot my happiness,
Or, my life that fell in love sickness."

"The sweet words of my lover,
They still reverberate in my ear,
Why you, the wretched evening,
Here you're also mourning? "

"Is it to take my life, you're here?
What relationship you've there
With the attacking strong king
Outside the fortress of a weak king? "

"From my sickness I've no rest.
The sun has already set in the west.
The whole world is now at sleep.
The evening is here to make me weep? "

TO WORSHIP THE LOTUS FEET.

"The evening shares my worry.
It's intoxicating, but is fiery.
I believed his words as real,
And into his trap why I fell? "

"Oh my Sea-God, bear with him.
For my sake, don't do any harm.
I submit myself to your lotus feet,
This request I again repeat."

KOVALAN LEFT HER ALONE.

When Madhavi sang like this,
Kovalan took her words amiss.
He then suspected her fidelity,
And doubted on her morality.

Though this dual play was no reason,
But his fate turned it up as treason.
It was time for him to slip out,
As his destiny finally decided it.

"It's time for us to leave.
Shall we get up and move? "
She asked him submissively,
And looked at him invitingly.

He didn't accept her invitation,
But preferred her separation.
As fate would have it, he left
On his own way, after this rift.

SHE LEFT ALONE.

After he left her in the garden,
Much worried she became then.
She had to silence all her maids.
Thereafter, she spoke no words.

In her coach unusually this time,
She went home alone, not with him.
Thus their love-tie came to an end.
The destiny's ways, who can mend?
