Moody, dusky mistress
Irrigating and
Deluging the Doab,

Coy and retiring in winter
Defiant and impetuous
In September,

Depraved in the mountains
Diffident in the plains
A pauper in summer,

Immeasurable
Before entering
The sea,

Immaculate,
In every
Thought,

Purifying
Life’s unknown
Karma,

Breaking
The cycle of
Life and death,

Always possessing
An unsullied mood,
A new point of view.
