VISWANATHA SATYANARAYANA
Proudly bent on its course
And cruel in its speed,
Thy car was whirling on.
My frail form was crushed unto death
Beneath the chariot wheels,
And streams of blood gushed forth.
Thy car, divinely bright, stopped not a moment
In hesitation that aught impeded its progress;
Nor did it veer round to note the sudden wail
That went up from my bruised heart.
At early dawn, dread Lord, Thy charioteer
Will wash the blood-stains from off Thy chariot wheels,
But, how from amongst the blood-stains of millions
Wilt Thou spot out mine?
Translated from Telugu by ADIVI BAPIRAJU
