From the Pretty Shillong Peak
Day curfew throughout the city
The cavalry, who went on this route,
are missing
And the falling fog ...
nearly wiped their foot prints.
Comes the 'Kojagari' full moon night
The hills are now silver canvas
Yes, Raja Ravi Varma likes
to go missing in this way ...
Facing the pretty Shillong city,
I am sitting up.
Oh space, enlighten human life !
Seven stars of the Ursa major
can never be separated.
* Kojagari: Hindu fesitival to worship the Goddess Laxmi
