The alphabet of poetry,
What the alphabet,
How the letters
Resounding,
How the signs and figures,
Who created them
And how?
The alphabet of poetry,
Is it the alphabet of learning to write,
The alphabet of poetry,
Is it the sign for sound,
What is it,
The alphabet,
The alphabet of poetry?
Sunik accha laage cche,Aapan dehati bhasha sunik!Aaba, aaba aar suna, sunaWu sab kirakamKhortha bolecche!Do speak in Khortha,Will you please,It sounds tuning, listening to,One’s own countryside cowboy rustic dialect!Come, come and hear, hearHow do theySpeak in Khortha!
In feathers spread aroundAnd dancing in showers.
Sadness befalling humanityAnd mankind reeling under,You do not know how sad am I,You do not know how sorry am I!
Setting poems to music and wordAs per sound scheme and letters lilting?The poet a song-writerSinging the songs of life,Songs so lyrical and touching,Striking the heart.
And getting dizzyAnd falling sickTo clutch it alongAs for confusing with samsakara.A Brahmin South India mathematician’s son,Astrologic and horoscopic,He too like his fatherMixingAstrology with astronomy,A Kathaka dancer of comic and irony.
One cannot deny the influenceOf your friendly sister-in-law,Kadambaridevi?Tagore, say you,How had it been your love,Your hidden romance with herThat jumped she to deathFalling from the terraceOf her building?
