THE STARS

MY DAILY SALUTATIONS TO THEE, STARS
YE WHO ARE THE PRECEPTORS OF PROFOUND TRUTH
YOU APPEAR ALONG THE PATH OF THE SKY,
WHEN THE EARTH IS GRIPPED BY DARKNESS.

AND YOU GO OUT AT THE BREAK OF DAWN
ON SEEING THE PURE-SOULED SUN
WHEN I THINK OF THE INNER MEANING OF THIS
ONE THING THAT COMES UP IN MY THOUGHT I SHALL STATE:

WHEN MY MIND IS SO CLOUDED,
SEVERAL GODS I SEE IN THE SKY
BUT WHEN THAT DARKNESS IS DISPELLED
WHAT SHINES BEFORE IS THAT SINGLE GODHEAD

YOUR PROXIMITY IS WORLD’S DREAMINESS
AND YOUR EXIT WORLD’S RESURGENCE.

MALAYALAM POET
MAHAKAVI ULLOOR PARAMESWARA IYER
