Nestama
Naa sarvaswam
Neeve anukunna kshanam
Silaksharamai
Yugaantam varaku nilichi povaali!
Ee modunu chigurinpa chesina
Nee saannihityam
O chEdu nijamai
Hrudayaaniki gaayam chestoone vundaali!
Nee gyaapakaanni moyalEka
Ne yilaa
Kavitalaa
Karugutoo vundaali
Aashruvunai
Alaa
Varshistoone vundaali.
English Translation : Ch J Satyananda Kumar
Darling
The instant that I construed
you as my everything
should remain
an engraved stone edict
till the end of the epoch.
Your intimacy
which sprouted this dead stump
should remain a bitter truth
gashing my poor heart
Not able to bear the brunt of
your recollections
I should melt away
like a doggerel,
raining tear drops
ever, for ever!
