The Beautiful Maiden

I left a place like oven
That got my tongue cloven

It was a cosmic travel
A trip to heaven

On the street of heaven
I met a beautiful maiden

Her lush voice hushes my fear
Her smile halts my tears

Her presence is like a safe haven
Her beauty like that of heaven 

My heart is as big as the earth
Painted like an art

Her heart enveloped in my heart
Like a precious stone enclosed in the earth

Smile for me maiden
Let your smile makes my earth heaven

Fill my heart with thy glory
And all shall be hunky-dory
