Nirtan Alankaras
My heart! At times one moment is as a year, and at
times one year is as a moment to thee.
I cry and shed tears when clouds gather round my he-
art, and when the light of my soul is covered from my sight.
Mother's arms receive me when I come to the earth;
Father's arms lift me up at the moment when I depart hence.
Heart
The heart has its head on its own palm,
The face of the heart is veiled;
The heart's hands are bound with iron chains,
The feet of the heart are nailed.
The eyes of the heart are never dry,
The heart speaks only through tears.
The ears of the heart are so keen
That the voice from a distance it hears.
The voice of the heart is silent,
Yet far-reaching is heart's cry.
The heart has no question nor answer,
The heart is expressed in a sigh.
