Attractive and beautiful,
Ornament of meadows,
Manifested in eclectic colours,
Having blossomed in ecstasy,
I am the ultimate longing,
And destiny of the seed;
My petals open up on the
Silent knocking of the dawn,
Then bees gather irresistively,
With a musical humming sound,
And the colourful butterflies
Join by dancing across us;
Meanwhile morning breeze
Carries away our fragrance,
To spread it all around,
In order to greet onlookers;
Thus we experience the totality
By blooming to our peak,
Though our life is ephemeral;
But I see you craving since long,
With all the possibility of flowering,
Since the aroma that you are carrying is
Unable to come out from your
Suppressed and captivated consciousness;
As you do not open your petals,
When the sunshine of consciousness,
Knocks your door, in fear of being lost,
Therefore, though you live longer,
A sense of discontentment haunts you.
