There Comes My Darling! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Hey mamma! Hey jumma!
Hey mamma! Jumma! Jumma!
There comes my darling!

Wearing bangles in her forearms my darling,
Wearing bangles my darling,
Beautifully swinging her forearms!

Wearing anklets in her ankles my darling,
Wearing anklets my darling,
Beautifully dancing her legs!

Smearing eye paste in her eyelids my darling,
Smearing eye paste my darling,
Looks like twin fish in her face!

Ear-ring drops in her ears hanging my darling,
Permitted ear-ring drops to hang my darling,
Ear-ring drops jumping with joy happily!

Golden girdle-ornament glittering in her waist my darling,
Glittering in her waist, my darling,
Her waist is swirling in the air!

Wearing ring in her tender finger my darling,
Wearing snugly my darling,
Tender cucumber her finger!

Smearing red nail polish in her nails my darling,
Smearing nail polish my darling,
Blooming like red flowers her nails!

Wearing pearl necklace in her neck my darling,
Wearing necklace my darling,
Lightning grandeur her neck too!

Wearing flower garland in her hair-doing my darling,
Wearing flower garland my darling,
Swinging along the hair plait!
