INTARSIA

 

INTARSIA

 

An ancient land millennia old,

Culture, customs, civilization, gold,

Innumerable people languages,

Lifestyle, food, dress, faith crazes, (1)

 

Time tested survived grew to linger,

Hues festivity lunar solar longer,

Across the country, names differ,

Happiness melting fogs disappear, (2)

 

Warmth will be visible in winter frigid,

The arrival of summer farming rigid,

Farmer dreams annual output,

The spine of the country grain sprout, (3)

 

Emotional today, Bihu Pongal,

Makar links to the time eons,

Who looted the country's poor,

Dying without food cry sufferer, (4)

 

Killed natives, burned houses,

Looted gold silvers anger rouses,

Still, the land displays miracles,

Flood the milk-river, gold carnival, (5)

 

The bountiful earth, fertile rivers

Feed a billion lives, feed sufferers,

The harmony amity fraternity,

Intarsia in exhibition link serenity, (6)

 

Unite, you survive, divided perish,

Intarsia cultural hues life cherish,

The prosperity education skill,

Stronger in history invincible drill, (7)

 

The highways, railways, flight 

Hubs of transport intarsia right,

Enormous effort culmination,

Dreams billion front, realization, (viii)

 

painful hunger and poverty read history,

A thousand-year country in slavery,

No more, I cried, hues inviting,

How beautiful India, women singing, (9)

 

 

Electric their smile, inviting lips,

Intarsia strewn colored dresses,

Rhythmic, their dance song is ecstatic,

Enigmatic intarsia, republic romantic. (10)
