The Boatman’s Song 18/Many As soon as, his song was over and the boatman Came near the place, Where Urveshi was standing on that silver moonlight sand He tried to get convinced, if it was his love the Princess? Who had promised him to come very soon, Before he could ask any thing from her Urveshi uttered, in her most soothing and beautiful voice, “O boatman, I am not the Princess whom you love I have come here from heaven, to hear your songs Your love the Princess YogMaya, is not safe in her kingdom As his step Uncle is trying to capture her kingdom By killing the King and even the Princess you love” The Princess came to know, all about his treachery When she came here with her aged father the King, She could not tell you all that, due to sudden arrival Of that treacherous Uncle and his father knowing nothing When she met you here, On the bank of river Ganges, She wanted to tell many things to you She could not come, to see and meet you so far As her palace is in the grip of her Uncle and his conspiracies Plotted by him to soon kill the king and the Princess Her life also is in dangers, till she faces these conspiracies Although your love is a lady of high ventures She possess tremendous strengths in her body and mind With her expertise in fighting, with sword like lightening But alone she can not end such men of treacheries The boatman gazed her altogether with a surprise How an Apsara like a beautiful woman, is telling me all the story As if, she also was here and knows everything Happened that day, when he had met the Princess He thought for a moment and questioned himself “Is she a friend or a Guptacher* of his kingdom, Or someone from heaven, who only could know everything And has come as a blessing of God for him?” The boatman saw her a little more deeply and thought That in beauty and looks, she may even surpass The best of any artist’s imagination As she appears to be much above the word beauty But why and how she knows everything about him And even about his love, whom he had seen Only for few moments, Ravindra to continue…… Kanpur India 20th January 2010 * Apsara (A Nymph dancer of heaven as per Hindu Mythology * Urveshi (One of the beloved Apsaras of Indra * YogMaya. Name of the beloved Princess of the Boatman. * Guptacher A Hindi word meaning spy
