ADAVI BAPIRAJU'S POEMS-- (Trans. RAVINDRANATH )

Poet Ravi!

Universal man of charm you are!
Oh! Poet Ravi !
Your voice beautiful and permanent !
Piercing black clouds and darkness deep
Gives lights supreme // Uni//

Devotion sweet
Word of joy celestial
Bloomed in world
Nectar in the word // uni//

Viswanatha is lord
Universal poetry is love
Their love divine
Divine Gitanjali!

***

Flying
Spreading its big white wings
In blue sky vast
A white large crane.

In this life infinite
In times dark
On journey endless
Alone I am.
***
In Modavakam hospital
Great poets.
Surrealists
Should learn from them.

***
He is Krishna.
You are Krishna.
He is Krishna.
He is the Buddha,
You and I are Buddhas
He’s an animal
He ! Only he!

***
When Sanyasis earn
Piles of wealth
Out of divine inspiration
For the sake of God,
Need the mundane men
Turn into guards of burial ground?

***


Fraternity of Brahmananda is Rasananda
Fraternity of Rasananda is pleasure of truth.

Saktiman
(1946)
There exists good force in me
Exist powers giant, creative, destructive !
It can shake all worlds
Smash some ages
Turns stars into dust
Brings heaven to earth. //there exists//

Melodious songs melting hearts
Words of pride rousing men
Can be sung by my voice
Can be uttered by slogan of my voice. //there exists//

Sad stories of low men
Cruel histories of brutal people
Can be woven by my imaginative power
Can be played by love of my word power. //there exists//

There burns deep hatred in me
Blooms love sweet
Get depressed in jealousy
Bear insults in patience. //there exists//

Blast the world entire
Turns into slave of world
Would dance in chaos
Would smile in faints of love //there exists//

Tar with colours black
Flow lines black
Would down tunes tainted
Would sing tunes tender //there exists//
