The old and the new

What I have received all these days is precious,

But still an unborn longing burns in the flame;

It shall leap up and seize the tranquil of the sky

And bring its wonders to body’s urges;

The old stays with the triumphs won in it,

And the new dazzles in splendours of gems;

A bridge, an exquisite rainbow spans the two,

And up and down hurries the first promise.

पुरातनं नवं च

एतानि सर्वाणि दिनानि मया यत् प्राप्तं तत् बहुमूल्यम्,

किन्तु अद्यापि अजन्मा आकांक्षा ज्वालायां दहति;

प्लवति गृह्णीयात् च शान्तिं व्योमस्य,

तस्य च आश्चर्यं शरीरस्य आग्रहेषु आनयन्तु;

तस्मिन् जितैः विजयैः सह पुरातनः तिष्ठति,

नवं च रत्नवैभवेषु प्रकाशते;                                        

सेतुः, उत्तमः इन्द्रधनुषः द्वयोः संयोजयति,

उपरि अधः च प्रथमप्रतिज्ञा त्वरयति।
