In Sanskrit

In Tibet, the night was cold and she said in Sanskrit:
Over years, in loneliness my heart bled in Sanskrit

All mantras of love have failed in winning her for me
Tell any Tantras to take me ahead in Sanskrit

Behind curtains of temple there was a paradise
Night was pleasant ride, though she spoke in bed in Sanskrit

The awesome civilization left us drowned in thoughts
In Hindu and Buddhist books, how we fled in Sanskrit!

In snowfall, my near death feelings craved for surpassing
How to ask fairies, "Is anyone red?", in Sanskrit?

Morning welcoming the Sun and evening fire blowings
I want to read my faith and others' dread in Sanskrit
