ALASYA KANYA

 


Unmindful of the intoxicated bee

The beauteous one stands beneath the Kadamba tree,

She is the moonlight to the lotus that is his heart!

The fragrance of the blossoming flowers

Stirs up the primal cause of life!

O One, with hair that is dark like the monsoon clouds,

Style a braid gently

Lest the tempestuous wind

Should ruffle your silken tresses

Or disturb your tender heart.

Her half – turned face catches the moonbeam

And glows with embers of love.

The half-closed lids, heavy with sleeplessness

Search for the footprints of the Beloved.

The lazy lips stir up some tune

As she stands transfixed!

From the pure pitcher of the skies,

The rustling leaves of the Kadamba

Having sipped on cloudful of nectar

Play Megh malhar.

As raindrops seep through the greens

And fall on the parting of her hair. 

The graceful swan cranes its neck to hear

The honeyed voice of the Alasya Kanya

Accompanying the beats of the thunderous clouds

II काली बदरिया मारे नजरिया

मन में छुपा लो मोहे

जुल्मी सावरिया II
