We watched helplessly your`Tandav`
as you lashed ferociously
and destroyed everything we could boast of
Who are you?
Are you the wrath of the Almighty
or just a holocaust
or an atonement of our sins?
Did you strike to humble us
and break our`Ahankaar`
because we proudly strut and dance
on the sands of Time
and challenge the power of God
or did you arrive to remind us ahead of time
that the impending `Pralay`
will soon engulf us all, so Beware?
Your Fury is a `wake-up` call
but don`t you know
that we are children of Time
who wake up, laugh and cry
and return to sleep again
in the lap of Time
not minding your
Sound and Fury.
