Neither a mother nor a daughter Nor even a wife in an earthly home O fair Urvashi You are a denizen of heaven! Drawing a golden veil When evening descends on the meadows You do not light up a lamp In the corner of a home In the middle of a silent night With a tremulous heart and bashful eyes In shy halting steps you do not go To the chamber of a groom For your first union. Like the light of dawn You wear no veil You are never coy And hesitation you have none. Like a flower in full bloom Growing without any stem When did you blossom on your own! With a cup of honey in your right hand And a cup of poison in your left In the primeval spring you sprang Out of the churning oceans Whose waves like charmed snakes Laid at your feet their thousand hoods And the king of gods Paid homage to your naked form Blemishlessly white as a white flower. Like a bud yet to break Were you never a small child O you Urvashi forever young! Where did you spend your childhood days Under the seas unseen Playing with pearls and gems And sleeping on a coral bed The moment you rose above You appeared fully grown And in full bloom. From the time without a beginning To the whole world You have been an object of desire O fair Urvashi without compare! Sages have offered at your feet All the fruits of their meditation By your insinuating glance The world stirs up in youthful vigor The winds like messengers blind Carry your intoxicating scent All around Like greedy bees Intoxicated by honey The poets hum rhapsodic songs Restless like lightning Jingling your anklets You glide past them all. In the heavenly hall When you dance in wild ecstasy O you fleet-footed Urvashi! In waves the oceans dance In her waving cornfields The earth expresses her thrills In the skies Like gems of your necklace Pendant on your breast The stars fall The horizons are exposed bare When you are careless with your dress And from your waist It suddenly slips. Like the dawn That dawns on heaven`s eastern mounts You have kept the world ever spellbound! Your slim beautiful body Is washed by world`s tears And your feet its blood beautifies O you naked one with hair flowing free! The lust of this world is a lotus On it your feet you have lightly placed In the universal mind You are the playful partner of its dreams. For you all the world wails Do you hear O you Urvashi deaf and cruel! Will the time when you first appeared Ever return And you will rise again >From the depths of shoreless seas On a fresh morning We will see your fresh form And all your limbs will cry >From wounds Made by lustful glances of our eyes And in breaking waves The oceans will sing a song in your praise? No, no, such a time will never return O Urvashi Like the setting sun You are forever gone Even the happiest moments of spring Are now mixed with sighs Of someone`s eternal separation In the full moon When everything smiles A sad tune like a long forgotten memory Saddens our mind. Yet a forlorn hope remains In our cries and cravings for one Who defies all bonds.SourceThe script ran 0.005 seconds.
