Inspired and motivated by a Bollywood Song, “Jago Mohan Pyare” from
Hindi movie Jagte Raho (1956). Expanding on the idea of a Beautiful
morning and becoming alive to one’s surroundings and the world,
A few random thoughts….
Awake it is a beautiful morning.
In the realm of dreams, the call resounds,
“Awaken, Awaken,” the voice surrounds,
The light’s radiance spreads, night’s grip abates,
Darkness of the mind fades, its shadow dissipates.
The queen of rays sings a sweet refrain,
Awakening my heart, relieving every pain,
O beloved fellow, let your eyes be kissed,
By the dawn of a new era, love’s sweet tryst.
A wandering minstrel, ascetic in grace,
Awakens the streets, every corner, every place,
With twinkling eyes, he greets the morn,
Embracing the world, in love he’s reborn.
Arms wide open, consoling the sad,
In this new morning, hearts are glad,
O beloved fellow, awaken, arise,
Spread love’s wings, beneath vast skies.
One who lit the lamp of his mind so bright,
Finds beauty, in the world of light,
Beyond eyes’ support, his vision soared,
Awakening truth, where dreams are stored.
The fairy of rays, her brilliance gleams,
Quenching thirst, in love’s flowing streams,
O beloved fellow, become love’s flower,
In the garden of life, a fragrant bower.
