Bhilwa

(1331)  Meghe pahare khela

Play between the clouds and hills,
It has endured in presence of the forest.
Twixt blue and green is the bhilwa,
While seasons, they have floated on.

You are the huge mountain,
Lofty ground mid echelons.
Downward have the clouds come,
And they have brought flecks of love.

And snow creeps in
O'er mountain peak...
On blue and green and black,
In white has it fallen around.
Oh, whom has it held dear?
