A Temple Beside a Pond

A Temple Beside The Pond

A temple beside the pond,

Surrounded with date trees;

And trees loaded with flowers,

Receiving cold cool breeze.

Coming across the acres of farmers land

From grove of mango trees, 

To this holy peaceful place from home,

A narrow spiral way leads.

The pond itself adorned with lotuses,

Many water plants and weeds.

Halt for thirsty castles and tired villagers,

Pleasure of fishing and diving exceeds;

Fragrances of flowers and fireflies at night

Stand the place in good stead.
