My Friend !!
Khelen *
Beneath the starry sky,
Beside the shimmering lake,
Communing with the smiling moon,
Enthralls me so wildly.
Oh! moon,the smiling moon,
You look so calm and cool,
You shine so charmingly,
By the silvery rays of ur friend.
Oh! river ,the flowing river,
You flow so smoothly,
Expecting to meet your big friend,
Who is welcoming you at the other end.
Oh! ship,the lucky ship,
You sail so mesmerisingly,
You dance so elegantly over the waves,
Because of your friend who is buoying you up.
Oh! moon, oh! river, oh! ship,
Don't be so frivolous and blind,
You owe your lives to your friends,
And the camaraderie with them.
Oh! nightingale,the flyig nightingale,
You fly and sing so wondrously,
Because you've a friend beneath your wings,
Giving you the lifting thrust.
Oh! trout,the playing trout,
You play so lovingly and enticingly,
Because you've a friend around you,
Giving you the playing ambience.
Oh! banyan,the great banyan,
You look so firm and unshakable,
Because you've a friend beneath u,
Allowing the roots to grow.
Oh! nightingale, oh! trout, oh! great banyan,
Don't be so arrogant,instead be courteous,
When your friendship founders,
You lose your existence.
Oh! friend, my loving friend,
I smile because of your winsome smile,
Dear,the moment our friendship castle shatters,
We will go haywire and live in ennui.
Be my friend,
Let me be your friend,
Let's forge a friendship,
Let's make the world a beautiful place.
** Dedicated to my bosom friend KSS
