As the rays kissed the sky
From a veil of clouds dark and deep
Upon the river passing by
Its fragrance spread with melody.
Do the strings play a tune
And awakens untouched chords
That resonates and weans too soon
Leaving pathos in the heart?
Do the music and the ray
From the Goddess soak the souls
Of battered humans in mayaic play
Craving with senses varied goals?
Play on oh! maiden Nature
From your holy strings, ragas divine
To bring us inward,we mortal creatures
Where Love resides in Her holy shrine.
