Poem
The Boatman’s Song 5/Many Where one very rarely finds love, hopes and joy in life Sometimes, even the noblest souls on earth Have suffered tortures and pains Even some have sacrificed their lives in agonies and pains So that others may see that beam of light Think again Urveshi think The ecstasies of the joys and thrills You have witnessed in the pleasures of Your dance, music and dwellings Which no humans can even think of Would be lost for ever and for ever And you will also miss the most Prominent among all The blessings of heaven to keep you young And beautiful, without aging for ever and for ever The charms of youth which you are enjoying here Would no longer be there on earth Aging and wrinkles, sorrows and worries would Evaporate slowly, the glow of your skin and charms Time would also erode slowly the heart capturing Beauty of your enchanting eyes and the youthful beauty Of your rising and falling bosoms Slowly very slowly your dance steps would miss The youthful rhythms of your legs And more slowly your songs will miss The melody of your tongue and voice You would also see that your fans here and there And dear ones too would fly With the passing of time on earth Leaving you alone without any one to adore And no one to praise and to throw even a Lovely glance on a beauty on decline The glory of your name and fame Would get lost with the passing of time And even the most close to your heart too Would not stand to console and support you In the hours of your need and time Can you imagine Urveshi, such a life? And such an end of your rejuvenating beauty And an end of your glorious Youthful performances of heaven In the hands of time and mortality on earth, Here in Heaven you are the queen of Everyone’s heart Your ravishing beauty and heavenly youth And the melody of your songs and dance Would remain young and evergreen For ever and for ever Without ever experiencing, what is an old age Pains, sufferings and the agonies of departing From your most dear, near and beloved ones Which often kills the human hearts Making them weeping and rolling in tears Ravindra to continue .... Kanpur India 8th January 2010 * Apsara (A Nymph dancer of heaven in the court of Indra as per Hindu Mythology * Indra (The Lord of Heaven as per Hindu mythology * Urveshi (One of the beloved Apsaras of Indra * Saraswati (Goddess of knowledge, music & arts)
