The Winds of Wonder

It was a new thunder

It was a new thunder when the night was asleep,

Fast, with no guard against the calamitous shade;

A sudden invasion had surprised the calm

That rested in serenity of the musing stars;

Pronto came Anandi in her rich velvet gown,

Adorned with scented flowers of smiling life;

There was then found the real of unreality,

Sense and significance of the heart of darkness.

नूतनः गरजः आसीत्

रात्रौ सुप्ते नवगर्जनः आसीत्,

द्रुतं, विपत्तिच्छायायाः रक्षणं नास्ति;

आकस्मिकं आक्रमणं शान्तं आश्चर्यचकितं कृतवान् आसीत्

तत् चिन्तनतारकाणां शान्तिं विश्रामः;

इदानीं आनन्दी स्वस्य समृद्धमखमलवस्त्रेण आगता

स्मितजीवनस्य गन्धपुष्पैः अलङ्कृतम्;

तत्र तदा अवास्तविकस्य वास्तविकं लब्धम्,

अन्धकारहृदयस्य भावः महत्त्वं च।
