The splendour that I did not find yesterday
Has awakened in me this morning, I know not why?
An unknown raaga is being played within me.
I know not why?
The strains of the string are heard within me.
I know not why?
Every tree that has flowered looks like a new bride.
I find wine oozing from every flower.
Where have all these shades of beauty hidden so far?
With white swirls in water becoming smiles,
And waterfalls reaching me inducing a great thrill,
I hear the collective symphony created by invisible and moving veenas.
With the golden border of her robe slipping a little down,
I see a young girl in the form of a cloud moving ahead.
She got enthralled with the touch of sun shine.
