CHORD
Mesmerized the Veena of life
tunes,
Melodious scintillating tame
fumes,
Seen hazardous life flute vibrant
lit,
Poverty corrodes life, hunger
defeats, (1)
Shrunken eyes noticed cried
escort,
Death cruel vulture Lord's grace
lot,
Lifted lives from sickbed, cured,
sock,
No symptoms of ailments heal
woke, (2)
Orphaned child at birth mother
left,
Adopted by another flourished
fate,
Diamond spoon mouth, child born,
Divorced parents desert child
earn, (3)
The chord changes symphony alert,
Divine play flute seven notes
divert,
The sadness cripples a mind, and
tearful,
The Veena plays chords remindful,
(4)
Life is not for pleasure,
physically fit,
Life is for realization, discover
light,
Light invisible energy breath
flute,
Seven notes admixture yet
dispute, (5)
Foolish human chord tames plant,
Chord attracts birds, animals,
want,
Listen to frequencies
contemplate,
Magic where musical chords
relate, (6)
The Ganga Ghat dusk dilapidated,
Alone on the stone steps, I
evaded,
The spine-chilling fears of
loneliness,
Dark was the river clouded
stress, (7)
Wet were steps after rain at the
shore,
Waves of river Ganges high
surfer,
Spraying moister evening depress,
By boatman floated into darkness,
(viii)
Watched the shoreline, sat
record,
Vast shoreline of Banaras
offered,
River bank rock steps are sparse,
dark,
Lighted at one place oblation
stark, (9)
Offering oil-lit lamps hymns
sound,
Pervading musical notes lots
around,
Bewitching beauty distance
evoked,
For millennia, human prays, stoked,
(10)
The chord connects to human love,
Cold waters of the river
dissolve,
The boat proceeded to Ghat was
bright,
The pyre was burning no one, a
sight, (11)
Sizzle at innermost heart
flaming,
Ambers red hot charcoal glowing,
No one attends a life extinguished,
Cold wind cools burn pyre missed,
(12)
The air at the boat distinct a
note,
The chord of life rejected world
denotes,
Abandoned children, life once
begged,
Musical note flute boatman egged,
(13)
Showed Banaras ghat lonely night,
There was delight, included
fright,
Human hymn to life extinguished,
Chord of human life
distinguished. (14)
