Radhey Shiam / राधे श्याम

offering milk to Ganga
the devotee I had a beer with
last night
गंगा को दूध अर्पित करते
वह श्रद्धालु जिसके साथ बीयर पी थी
कल रात




the village belle
with cluster of lilies
I lose my senses
गाँव की सुन्दरी
लिली का एक गुच्छा लिये
मैं होश खो बैठा





the vast ocean
caught in a net of waves
roars and cries
सिन्धु विशाल
लहरों जाल फंसा
गर्जे तड़फे







opening a cupboard
the shells have adomed
the tears of clouds
कपाट खोल
सीपियो ने सजाये
मेघों के आंसू







the mountain breeze
tikles the forest
the valley resounds
हिमानी हवा
वन गुद गुदाती
घाटी गुंजाती
