Remebering Mahakavi Bharathiar - Death Aniversary - 11/09.

[Guest guest]

Sorry my earlier post contained tamil version which is not accepted.

The following are two more poems translated in english by Mahakavi

Bharathi on Krishna ( kananan as we are used to call in tamil ) &

self discipline

 

Self Discipline - & #2950; & #2980; & #3021; & #2990;

& #2972; & #3014; & #2991; & #2990; & #3021;

Things that are visible to me

Won't my hands take them all?

The sky that's visible from earth

Won't that become ours to call?

Thinking forever and trying

hard, will we finally lose?

Tell me O goddess thou who

are the sky, earth, my eyes and numbers.

 

The Promises, the pride, the successes

So many priveleges!

Control over self shall

get these and more

told the wise men of yore

in the scriptures.

Yet will we stand low

failing to control our self?

 

 

Kannan my lover

 

 

My beloved's face is forgotten - to

whom shall I covey this my friend?

The heart hasn't forgotten his love - then

can the face be forgotten?

 

In my eyes there is an image - but

his splendor isn't complete.

When I recollect his face - that

enchanting smile is not there.

 

My heart, without a rest,

thinks only of his love.

My mouth, wihout a break,

talks of that charmer's praise.

 

My eyes committed a sin - and

I started forgetting his face.

In the entire womankind - have

you ever seen a dumb girl as me?

 

A bee that forgot the honey - or

A flower that forgot its radiance

Or a crop that forgot the rain - are

Not there in this whole world, my friend.

 

If they forgot his face - what

is the use of these eyes, my friend?

I don't even have his portrait - then

how am I to live my friend?
