Poetry for Mars

Flower’s Wish / पुष्प की अभिलाषा

Don’t wish to be woven in the ornaments of celestial beauty,
Don’t wish to lure the sweetheart bound in the garland of love,
Don’t wish O’ God to be offered to the dead bodies of rulers,
Don’t wish to be placed on the heads of Gods feeling proud of my fatePluck me O’ forest gardener,
Throw me in that path,
To offer their heads to motherland,
The path where several brave travel |
चाह नहीं, मैं सुरबाला के गहनों में गूँथा जाऊँ,
चाह नहीं, प्रेमी-माला में बिंध प्यारी को ललचार्ऊँ,
चाह नहीं, सम्राटों के शव पर हे हरि डाला जाऊँ,
चाह नहीं, देवों के सिर पर चढ़ूँ भाग्य पर इठलाऊँ,

मुझे तोड़ लेना बनमाली,
उस पथ में देना तुम फेंक
मातृ-भूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने,
जिस पथ जावें वीर अनेक |
