Rass

Mesmerizing music of flute,

In the darkness within the woods,

Dusk has fallen in the whole Vrindavan.

Along the full moon night,

Charms in the air,

Happiness everywhere.

Fireflies on the horizon,

Flew beside the river Yamuna,

Oh! how beautiful.......

Suddenly some noises breaks all silence,

In the entire village through.

"Where are you?

Oh! my dear

Oh! my beloved Kanha

Where are you?

My heart is dying to see you

My lungs have stopped breathing

My eyes are fluttering in pain

The tears are down pouring

Like flood onto the Yamuna river

Where are you?

My lively soul

Where are you?"

Soon the disturbance,

In Vrindavan,

Breaks into anger,

Anger bursts into cries,.

Sadness everywhere

Radha along with all the gopies,

Starts singing,

A song.

A song full of,

Pain, anger, sadness,

And all other expressions.

"Keeping on looking for you

I have kept all my work aside

But you charming but stubborn Krishna

Hardly ever come to keep you promise

I seek here, you hide somewhere,

Somewhere beside the Yamuna,

Or behind the woods,

As if a fool running behind,

His shadows,

To keep it forever throughout.

Oh! Krishna, my beloved Kanha,

Come to me,

Don't make me heartbroken,

I will surely die out of pain,

Come to me,

Oh! come to me,

I will be yours forever"

"No, I know you wouldn't come,

To keep your promise all along,

Is this your love for me,

I don't believe.....''

Krishna hiding behind a tree,

Listening each and every word,

Feels awkward and says:

''I know the way you feel,

I know that your heart beats,

Only for me.

But, Radha my heart,

Also beats the same as,

Yours do,

I'm yours and only yours''

Radha's words-

''If you were here

It would have not been like this,

Situation would be different,

The way you disappoint me,

Everyday.......!''

At last lord Krishna says,

To his ladylove Radha :

''How far must be the moon,

How far be his beloved lily,

(The flower of love)

Whatsoever it may be,

The one belonging to the other,

Will remain his,

Forever..............''
