KANCHANJUNGA USHERED ***************************** I asked clouds, fog, smoky dust They said You don't own any part of sky, Birbhadra! I asked high mountains , too They said You don't own any surface, Birbhadra! It is very true that I don't own any house, any palace, Sir. Not even shambles I merely own a hut In which dwells my mother Once, narrating my story to Kanchanjangha I pleaded Blessing me, she said Calm down, Birbhadra! Observe patience Don't narrate this story to Anybody else than me Listening to it Neither snow, nor Himalaya will melt Even huge stones can melt, but When stones melt You will suffer more pain Than me, Birbhadra ! After listening to her Caves dwelling in me Are constantly waiting For soft sunlight You blame me that I am greedy This name has been defamed always Tell me, of what use will This name be. To you.
