Laxmi P. Devkota

The swallow and Devkota
Share the same nest and the same trait.

Down lines of pine and eglantine
Serpentine in my falling

A parrot called a bird, a twice-born child,
By Fate into an iron cage beguiled,

Oh yes, friend ! I'm crazy-
that's just the way I am.

नरूँ ? तारा ! हेर, हेर,
नरले पार्यो नर,
कस्तो बरबर बा ! कस्तो बरबर !

सागर भरी छाती चिरी पाहाडबाट आएँ
तीन-तारे सारंगी ली छिनभर गीत गाएँ ।
