parijata!!!

Under the scorching sun
Drenched with sweat
And with blistered skin
A petty soul
Dragging the rotten corpse
Hither and thither
Needed some dwelling place to save it
From worldly pleasures
Unable to carry its weight,
Trying…but failed
Ah! Petty soul!
And his kismet
Lost in the labyrinth,
with wild elephant,
found himself beneath a parijata
with tears on his eyes,
suddenly
he felt the showers of divine blossoms
piquantly rich.
and he found himself beyond all laziness
Beyond all worldly pains
And affections,
free from bondage
Free from “me and mine”
Completely lost in the streams of nectar
Hast thou sat beneath parijata?
