The Boatman’s Song 25/ Many The Boatman left the chamber of the Queen And vanished in the darkness, to give shape to his schemes One by one his men got hold of all the Guards Some of them were totally eliminated Some duly tied-up, were put behind a locked chamber like bar And some of them were made, temporarily limp like To take care of their master the Traitor Before the dawn was about to approach, The Boatman got hold of the real traitor And after a fierce fight, he got hold of him The dawn came next morning, but it was a different Sunrise It was the festival day of Vasant* and The Sun came that day with a different shade and shine The mist and long dwelling fog had vanished that day Although the season of Spring has yet to set its music But the Palace was singing a different tune After many years the Palace was feeling a thrill and joy As its most beloved the King of Malla*, the Queen And the Princess were enjoying a new Sunshine The Palace was free today, from all the vicious men And many of them were put before the King in his court To put them on trial and to give them the punishment It was a different Court assembly, after many years When the King was sitting on his throne, with a face smiling The court was full of all the courtesans and council members Where all the respected citizens, of Malla* republic were invited And they came to attend this extra ordinary assembly Called by the King, on the auspicious day of Vasant Utsav* After many years the court of the King assembled The king heard the group and its head traitors And gave them a chance to tell the truth And once he was convinced, Gave punishment of death to their chief traitor Along with all those, who were hands in gloves Somehow, one black sheep escaped the Palace, To continue the legacy of his father’s hatred It was the son of the chief traitor After punishing the traitors of the Kingdom of Malla* The King announced a special ceremony Which held in the Kingdom, never before in its history To honor the Heroes of the today’s ceremony Ravindra continue on 26 ….
