The earth
And life on it!
When everything resorts to decay,
But you will
As time obdurate and stubborn.
Man will keep blanketing their dead,
But you will go marking
The dead bodies out of the homes.
Just marking all these from the hilly rivulet bank,
Man burning their dead
And the body turning to ashes and coals.
Just by being from the shady peepul and banyan trees
Of the hamlet,
You marking them burn with tears into the eyes.
Kalpurusha, you are Time, Time, timeless and deathless,
Immortal and indestructible and changeless,
Ever ticking, ever passing.
You are time, time, immortal and indestructible,
That which never dies, never destroys,
Always spinning, always striking.
You are time, time and tense,
Time-keeper, the same old time,
The time watchman.
