With intensive heat and loo
Has come,
Summer,
Indian summer
Full of heat and dust,
The sun appearing to be a fireball
And the flames falling around,
Scorching it all.
But do not disheartened,
Take you heart
To beat it naturally,
Pause a bit under the gulmohar tree
Marking the florid blossoms,
Jasmines to fragrance you
During the night-time,
Walk you, walk you.
the cuckoos withhold their misery.
The cornstalks slant deeper into themselves,
the red poppies.
The blackening sky cracks open
over the hills.
The ancient song of the cricket
dies in the harbor.
It never stirs,
the crown of the chestnut.
Up the winding stairs
your dress rustles.
The candle’s glowing silence
darkens the room.
Your silver hand
quenches it.
Tonight, no wind, no stars.
Translated by Eric Plattner

Sommer
Am Abend schweigt die Klage
Des Kuckucks im Wald.
Tiefer neigt sich das Korn,
Der rote Mohn.
Schwarzes Gewitter droht
Über dem Hügel.
Das alte Lied der Grille
Erstirbt im Feld.
Nimmer regt sich das Laub
Der Kastanie.
Auf der Wendeltreppe
Rauscht dein Kleid.
Stille leuchtet die Kerze
Im dunklen Zimmer;
Eine silberne Hand
Löschte sie aus;
Windstille, sternlose Nacht.

Winter
Frosts take;
I wish summer fruits and
Fear of winter ever.
