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
लहर-जाल में फँसा
गरजे- तड़फे
opening a cupboard
the shells have adomed
the tears of clouds
कपाट खोल
सीपियों ने सजाये
मेघों के आँसू
the mountain breeze
tikles the forest
the valley resounds
हिमानी हवा
वन गुदगुदाती
घाटी गुंजाती
