Inspiration



మది చల్లగనుండ గీతము తధ్యము వచ్చును

శారద కృప యుండ సభాసదులు గ్రాహకులు తప్పక మెచ్చుదురు

సకల జగత్కారకుడు శిఖిరజాత్ముడు నుండ నీ ఎద

భూజన సుందరాంగనల ప్రేరణ గ్రీరణ నీ కెందుకే మనసా?  (Copyright 2007)


Inspiration


If the mind is at ease (peaceful)

Definitely a poem (or lyric) will sprout

When Sarada’s grace exists

Listeners and audiences

Will surely applaud and appreciate


When you’ve the Uma’s dearest

and the sole Cause (Lord Siva) at your heart

Why do you need inspiration (or support)

From

Earthlings and beautiful belles

Why do you need

O mind? (Copyright 2020)


(Obviously the Telugu original came first. Several such poems were posted at Sulekha. I did not translate many of my Telugu poems and lyrics into English. But now I make it a point to post both Telugu and English versions for the benefit of wider community.)
