VILLAGE LIFE
Infinitesimal
aspiration lack lust,
Rustic
humans work hard a must,
Accustomed
to the vagary of weather,
Cultivation
of their culture enamor, (1)
Green
fields village pond cottage,
Dusty
road connect thank amaze,
The
creepers, vegetables, flowers,
Backyard
deep well bath showers, (2)
Cattle,
straws collected, a sight,
Patch
of vegetable leaves delight,
Potato,
tomato, green chili, grows,
Onion,
garlic, and cucumber shows, (3)
A
jackfruit inlet to home curries,
The
fresh banana plate is leaf hurries,
Wooden
hearth silver bowls plate,
Mustard
oil cooking aroma wait, (4)
Spices
village home cook reminder,
Urban
life is different taste wonder,
Fish
from ponds or rivers are plentiful,
Hens
innumerable eggs tasteful, (5)
Milk,
corn, fried rice, milk product,
Villager
leads lives at minimum cost,
In
the village square, there are trees,
Tea
shop, wooden bench precise, (6)
Place
of gossip life enjoys evening,
Back
home home late night thing,
Rest
peasants sleep no fan beds,
A
mattress, oil lamp, life threads, (7)
No
way, inferior to urban life,
Village
festival community sway,
The
bond variety of cakes sweet,
Symbol
of the people exists neat, (viii)
Look
at the beauty of the village sight,
The
cow herd evening sight right,
Dust
glows behind cows, bells ring,
Distant
hills, nearby river string, (9)
Schoolchildren
play on the ground,
Headmaster
personality sound,
Respected
by villagers to advise,
At
night darkness thick reminisce, (10)
The
utter silence and peace present,
Left
village life to city lot resent,
Job
forced many of us to leave sad,
The
noise pollution city is like mad. (11)
