SUBRAMANIA BHARATI
(Translated from the original in Tamil by Dr Prema Nandakumar)
Let’s be happy, bird
come whatever may;
daily work apace
and bow to the Mother.
’tis Nature’s law, we know,
that if we labour hard,
We shall reap the right reward.
Why sorrow then?
Love is the solvent
of tiredness and fear
and all painful thoughts.
Love shall not die.
Meditating on the Sun,
we’ll tread the dramatic, way;
for a thousand years, bird,
let’s live a blissful life.
When we offer stainless love
to the Lord Muruga,
how O beautiful bird
can sorrow dare assail us?
