Selective translation of Poetry of K.S Narasimhaswamy (K S Na) from various collections by Dr Raveendra, Hosadurga


Poetry of k.s.narasimha swamy part-1
1)      Back line students :

Back line students means
No fear to us!
No disturbance  to school from us
 No success to us for ever!

Rock won’t moov to force of water;
  We are  like that to class!
Is exam ball of flowers?
Should not worry for ill fate

Year by year where we exist 
Become new students;
Without opening pages  without reading
Mature due to  sunlight and air!

Sitting with us brothers and sisters
 Won’t pain(disturb) their reading and writing
Without becoming like us  to this school
Let them rise flag we tell.

To less salaried teachers
 We  stand supportive  to them
If lessons are not tasteful
We will eat pakampoppu.

 In classroom we are backward
We are backward  here!
Let them come and see in plauground
We are anjayas there!

Pampa kumara vyasa  dasas
We are caste of hari hara sharanas!
 Not passing in kannada  only
We are army of scholars  sons!

All who have won are ours;
No anxiety of  win to us
To those who have failed are we not model?
To fall into pond is not proper

To path of luck  who have won
We become fixed lamps;
Many not losing  for win of few
 No value we believe.

If whole town stands on hase(sacred bench)
Where are people to do arathi?
If all are singing mouths
Where are people to clap?


In jail of  luck of world school
 We have found infinet joy
 This is truth ,in support of this
We go beyond success and failure


Without reading understood love;
We earned pride without studying;
We will never leave this scool;
We will remain peaceful!

2)      You are not a lass like this or that!
By k. s. narasimhaswamy


You are not lass like this or that;
no   other lass   like you.

1)series of hoods  whole knot
Gudininda (………………………..) flower above
Twist of waves waves all hairs
Whirl lightning  all eye rolls!
            

2)All tones of neck garland of beads
Inside desire of hombale(golden bamana)
No pressure ,all love!
Not lasses many like you

3)flower creeper stood at chest level;
How much flower in tat?
 Breath breath buds flowers all;
You are creeper light all life!

4)in middle of hills your place
There are three undred peacocks
As though three humdred peacocks coming
If you come to me ;rich

5)in mid way my place;
Place of angle of  eye lightning  honnur;
As though three hundreds   lightnings  flashing
If you come to me ,rich


6) you becoming distant distant
Golden dream  in middle tone swinging
As I am waiting for you
You beauty cone as river
7)you are not such  beauty.
Not you? No other beauty!not song, 
you are not dream;
 from you song is   all dream

3)From house to house:            by poet k .s. narasimhaswamy

1)
 If  Year completes  from out house to out house
Transfer.transfer means
Tying of luggages,   still more  tiredness
Screwless lamps bottomless  gudes(…………………..)
(jaradi)……………….,cradle,onake procession of all these!

Luggage is simply burden,won’t     it  be thrown  tell
Is it over if it is thrown ?first bring new one
No space in cart,’have to carry  and moov’
Carry and moov?but dark is needed!
Shall wait for dark!


  Mother    Of   
 seven children  ,friendly,laughed)
As laugh kills enemity can’t kill;get up
First we shall go to new house’ coming in evening
Let the work of carrying(moving)  be to me
Tearing
Red  feathered  fish was disturbed, female won
It can  be laughed often  once in life like this


2)

 One reason  to   leave one one house
This time experience;house owner is good;
His wife ,daughter might be good!
They did not  ask us to leave  the house
What they did is some other work!



 At least tone of daughter  who has not red adjusting
With the desire of  getting married
Appointed music   teaching!
Those eight months were rainy season,frogs
First and last-that girl learnt only one line
“pouring pond water to pond”
All what is done here is this much only!


Pouring pond water to pond
In morning,after noon,in evening
Without space to more water in house
If we come and stand in middle street
Telling that you are people who have poured water
Charged full tax o my head!
Water pumping  pump   had told truth;
Door of other house had opened  for us.

3)
One house for those who have,for those who do not have hundred
Don’t know how many children they had  who were here previously!
Every where they have digged floa;
Taps have broken;
Have written ‘zeros’ on all doors
Tomorrow what about these children!
Where is newness here?we have come to house
In which somebody were there.are we new? No
On grey wall  dust    screen  (layer)fallen
Waiting drama’s name is ‘new’
Today only we have come to this house
No hurry for  repair of glass broken  phptos;
For repair  (kalaya………………..)of vessels
Further one week can be pushed

  New mat   cleaning leg – may be brought tomorrow ?
“what to do now?”asking again tou are!
All entered houses we shall call new house;
We shall tie new torana (leaf garland) old door;
Like school children learning newness
Let us spend one more year!


4)to each house  one one year queue
Not that much new tomorrow reading news
In opening coil of memory     path of   silver thread;
Bent back has moved away valueless  materials;
  Bypouring pond water to pond  eyes have whitened;
child witten zero;the speech  and laugh which house owner laughed ;
 not one or two punya(good deed)  on our part!
No place in cart,carry and moov;
For that dark is needed.
we shall   wait for dark!

5)from house to house,from outhouse to outhouse
From first house   respectless,nameless, to other house
That is new village all have gone for piligrimage.
There no  obstructers;
No in callers(welcomers)
No  other house;
No shadow of  out house;
For those who ave gone  no ways to return;
That is last house!
under crossed eye of sky stars
now and then blows open field  air.

……………………………………………………….end……………………………………….








3)housewifeLgruhalakshmi)

My wife rules my chest’s gold region
White cheeked beauty my wufe;
Beauty of eye is deeper than whirl of  river
If she once spreads  her knot
 Spreading her black hairs  on back
At distance on hill
As though  droped down night garland.

Mother house when called-my house when remembered
She is lovely creeper of two villages.
Witout concealing anything like pure jasmine
Her life is blossoming
Not desiring gold ornaments in  in mind
Gold like girl
My ornament ,my  girl.
Wearing green saree ,wearing red bangles
 Calls me  in  full tone my beauty;
Kumkum   long sign  Rules forehead 
She is lakshmi  to my house,
To us this is  this is sandy of life colours
No hundred worries to us;
We are gandharvas.

Full moon  coming on coconut leaves(garies)
 On that day when  milking of  silver  cows
standing near brindavana in middle of
will sing seing richness,
we play stars,go beyond moon
we are one in love;
we have no pain,death.
…………………………end……………………………………










4)answer to question:

At one night I asked my wife
Which is fine to you
Our place honnuru or your place naviluru
Which is fine to you

 Why to ask wheather  our place or
Your place to me?
In cot of our place  your place  dream
Shall I describe and tell?
Why do ask wheather your place  or
My place fine?-my lord
Keep quiet she told|pa|

In path of mother house coconuts nodding ead
Bananas waeving arms;
Buds of jasmine marrying thorn fence
Wabling  emiting fragrance;
 With laugh our place females  coming
To your sandyday,
Than naviluru honnuru is happy
 St0pped   love by calling. |Pa|

In your place cart when we left our place
Road ran quickly;
Shout (keke)of little kid had  filled cradle-
When we reached  your place
Coming near town fence   after seing  us
And asked about health(kushala,welfare),
Something standing in lip, something coming in eye
Cheek became red  |pa|
………………………………..end……………………………………………















5) is(are) not you? (neevallave)
Ten years back in  mutthur car festival
 Is it not you who wandered around?
Thinking as nearer female  again in matthuru
Is it not you who agreed and held hand?

 On back of hills in narrow (figure breadth) paths
Are you not the one who tied and wandered?
In front in ups(tittu) ,behind in valleys
 Areyou not  the one who laughed and  walked?

You are the one who came to door,one who told  to come quick
 are  you  not the one who asked  why did you come?
Come and see ,no go
Are you not the one who never left?

Pulling border(saree),paining by pulling hair
Are you not clever of bayaluseeme(……………………)
First night gold dream getting beyond fore water
Are you not the ship of  light show off?

Who teased as servant,calling as pearl
Are you not the one who  is of height house?
You are enough you are wanted
Are you not the one who stood in mind?

Bangles not rising to hand,when I told pain
Are you noy the one to get down from upstairs?
who shouted at bangle man settee
are you noy the one who brought stick?

You are gold river,I am pearl rain
 are you not the one danced and sung?
Female of malnad,fruit given by love
are you not the one  who wrote some ting?

You are daughter of moon,you are moon    faced,
Are you not the one who kept new name?
One who kept garland of jasmine in knot
Are you not the one  brought lip to lip?

Poverty,richness,who ever may be ,wherever may be
Are you not the one who shined as kink?
Acceptable to husband, as direction to kid
Am I not along with you in journey?
……………………………………..end………………………………..








6)Opened doorLtereda bagilu)
It is evening ,you also came
Did you get the bus on sandy day?
You hhave come late in the dark
On what day is your  child’s naming ceremony
How is she(wife)? When will she come?
I know she will definitely come
But on what day? By this time you might l have beaten paddy
Might have got one  cart of rice
(there is difficulty in  getting ox?)
There may be draught for  ox reason is this
This time is also  father’s  ceremony is on Saturday
If you can’t get rice you can get banana
It is good that you have come now
It is good .are all safe in  village side(town side)

The rain has stopped,cold as appeared (born)
Come in   see if there is any coffee in flask
So many shirts are these enough? On that also shawl?
Are you fort or bear ,gentleman?
Keep in corner  folding your star –umbrella;
No fear of anybody  to your chappal(footwear)
,this  old chair,this  mat both are dirty?-
what exists here is  dirt  what comes is also dirt.!

My words are not at all falling to your ear;-
Is it fault to have my door at road border
Is it a mistake  to  have  door opened?
I am open door .all season port.oper
Yes,gentleman you have come now is proper;
If at all nothing happens  we became two.
Hotel meal is after half an hour;
Now till that  I will story-
What story?- from  this morning till morning
What I found in open door
What I diid
Will tell listen.

Ayyo ,what a word!
Is mind (atti)………..) fruitto open and show?
who asked you to open atma(self) and show?-
for that we will have to wait till death.
To open shirt is in our hand
Lose your burden,leave membrane(layer)

Then it was morning .i had not yet awoken fully,
paper boy hhad come,had brought a news for me
in third page accident had happened;
a person of my street  of my same name
had cdied being caught by lorry!
( don’t comment  news is gomplete  prose,
Even in prose people may die)
 His existence was not at all known  to some extent
Death was known to  all.
On me sky fell down I  also know I am not the dead;
still peeping in mirror, 
throwing (hittihg)leg  ,bent body,got up,walked,

I fixed one more nail  on hosilu(lower border of door)
Pity! I held my fist and saw   to remove defect which some one
 brought to my name by some ones death
wearing dhothi  ran to bath room;
it was time for stoppage of water in tap.
In water available  did ganga bath
And enlighted ghee lamp  for dead one;
did namaskarams  to god by keeping stolen flower.
A lizard on the wall  stared at me;
I did not wait for it’s shakuna(prediction of good or bad)
Rushed to neighbour   house thinking wheather died or spoiled;
‘give to editor’ I asked in telephone.
That lady had stammering; ‘please talk’ she told

‘namaskara god,not one but two-
One surely to you  ,another to the world
Which you have  shown to my name!
No  mistake from my side here,though it is true
 News is doubtful sir,
Sun moon –(now moon’s witness is not needed)-
Only sun only as witness
I am living. Please will you correct?’
‘Is it? Excuse,let us correct tomorrow only;
Shall inform to all that you are living’
What a detachment!what a consolation!rama rama!
Knife went ,kid,sword came.
Wearing black saree  wearing flowers of tears
There was memory of condolence letters;
 Ad    lot of fear
Directly ran to post office;saw inside
Saw the hits fallen to card and covers,
One came outside  crimeless.
I stopped im;informing matter
‘till tomorrow what ever  ma come   
What ever comes let it be fallen here only;
Later will come and carry,if it is possible
 to help so much ,myself my wife
 my children are also  grateful(duefull) to you.’ I said.
What happened to him!
‘your head is not proper’he said and ran
Nodding ead to mid street
While coming on the way thorn pricked
Blood poured;her memory came.
She had gone to village exactly one month back ;
Paddy did not come ,she also.fate of wife having
mother ouse is like this only;
let her come on whatever day she comes I thougt.but-
understand now next matter
on this situation.understand? or that only
I earlier to all  in first bus only
At the time of crow crying at once
made subba to ran.i tink they may come at proper time;
I have done my best;
I am waiting in front of opened door
‘seventh is divine thought’.

He did not meet you in village,
Without knowing fact you came here only,
To me both are good; whatever
Happens is for our good.-

Where did it come now?
It was burning sunlight when we came  house in afternoon
Head though spoiled   I had head;head ache,
Stomachful of  hunger.then from neigher house ghama ghhama
Fragrance of  masala(vaggarane) of asafetida (ingu); kindness of air
 To hotel rice time had passed
Who came know?
like three fires  like three tenses(times,periods)
as though  good work(sukrutha) of three generations  embodied(myvetthanthe)
three hungry  people wearing madi(holy cloth)
open door,see,came in directly.
To house maid(servant) today is weekly holiday;right, 
Here there was no rangoli in front of door
By wrong imagination he would have  come!

Or now
Town streets  have been done fine,
on both sides of road  plants have been planed,
in circle and squares  flowers ave been grown
to old batrooms  dentures have been built;

have done unable to get recognized.
Pulling skin of floar burying water tubes
hAve gone having tied red cloth
to miss street is easy for anybody here!-
might have come to wrong street ,to wrong house!

These are my worries; insult to those who have come:
‘To where we have come?where next?’
Playing (vibrating) mat  saw clock;
hunger to deer also; hunger to tiger alsosaw
towards opened door;I prevented(obstructed,tolerated).
 After waste of time in enquiring  wellness(health ,kushala) on both sides
What was in well came up,
number of that house is also  leven  like this:
street  only is different,back line(lane),gentleman!
 Window of that house  made to see from here
Touching ear told pravara,prostated(addabidde)
Blessed by  amruta  manthras to become  (shathayu) long lived
See,like three fires like three times(periods,tenses)
 Got abhyagathas( un  invited guests)

Though fifty lost fifty had remained;
For my situation(circumstance) that much was enough
Sea became peaceful;sky became peaceful;
the earth which I stood became peaceful.
opened door people saw moving;
manthrakshathe(coloured rice) on  floar everywhere.
 Shanthihi             sathihi            shanthihi

7)In railway station:
‘Where are you meena?
Here only’
‘Cradle,box, bed?’

‘Forgotten something?’
To forget how?
‘Remembering somethint’
I am like that only.

‘Is there hot water meena
For milk powder of child?’
As muc as wished-

‘Hold child like this
Will keep black to eye-

  no(not needed) go
 I join hands from here only
 bless me from there only

creeped (spead) along with train
sound of engine;
where are you meena

In  smoke  twisting  spark
Roll of big wheels;
 Here only I am
I am here only

‘Shut windows meena
 sparks fall inside’
Closed window mother,
Spark not to fall.
……………………………………..end………………………………




8)Don’t keep me on your throne
don’t keep me on your throne;
don’t  make to wear moon crown
,burden to neck  to me garland of stars
 I don’t want kingship.

Don’t tease  me as ‘child, child ,child’
Don’t break my strength.
Today  if kingship is boring to you
Don’t entrust  that to me.

Don’t keep me on your throne
Let it appear your  power(pourusha) flame
In pamper  don’t feed me cowardness
Let your love become diamond.

After how long time  so much of self pride(abhimana)
Can’t understand your way(kind)
Kid unwanted on tat day is today that itself is joy
Is Selfishness iyour ethics?

Moter told :os some day you touched
Her  fascinating shoulder
Then I was born in midst of  wonder
Kissing earth –flag

In desert tying cradle to me
snow ,fire ,storm blowing
which joy to mother son like me was born
protected emiting amrutha

rain river sea singing my song
all life  crop is beautiful  wave of earth
mother holdind me on hills and ills
loved  drum of sky danced

pushing sunlinht(bisila) of land and land to my cheek
made kusumari in sky
in lions groups(shibira),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) of mountain and forests
made me to grow  agni kuvari(fire’s daughter

on that day you might ave seen me,smiling
blowing hand I called you
to you pride of rajadhiraja(king of kings)!
Walked without touching  my body

Mother told’child call him
By crawling go further
Listening to that you moving as though not listening
She pained very much’what people these are’

Stars sang as ‘mother is god’
They don’t know that she is  maya only
You might  have  seen her kind of love
That vasundara’s (earth’s)son I asked

I grew up without seing you; I am shriveled
Mother’s love and beauty
My son grows up  gaining strength of father
She has believed so.

Make me to learn to live witout your subordination
Bless as let life get pain and mature
(ninna kuriyada nanna darigedaranu  nilisu)
………………………………………………………………………………………
Open path and make to grow as I walk

You become father  troubling son,enemy
Make my breath to become fruit
On your rock make to  drop my blood
Let your name be seen!

 Coming door is soil:leaving  door is soil
In between protects mother’s eye
This eye’s vision all stone fort is gold;
To leave my and is fine to you

‘Senileless(old age less) deathless when your kingship
Will  end’ I have not waited
Grown up son  carry noga(burden……….) I will ask
You have come with illusion!

……………………………………..end…………………………………………….



9)in which time who laughed
In which time who laughed
As though you laughed?
How much pains  were swallowd
Laughing for a while!

Even if unwanted  why do you laugh
I don’t know
In life path  how did it bud out
With pain and joy?

How  laugh spread like  flame
Near lip leaf?
Memory of pain  why it came and troubled
 With our joy!

In shining pain  in tears
Shall I laugh with you?
 Leaf like coal(burning) in creeper
Was not seen by me?

To experience of real     shirt of dream
You came to make wear!
Who came near, who moved distant
 You are laughing?
……………………………………..end……………………………………

10) boat full  girls:
Those who  fallen to my eyes
Were like you only,
Who stole my heart(chest)
Flower wearing  knotful
Boatfull of girls

In clear river water
In sailing boat
All in one line|pa|

Cheekful of red rose
Day dream in  beauty  lip,
Lightning in border of eye |pa|

In worn white saree
In spilled stars
in capital of love |pa|

in shadow of  curley hairs
in maya of cool air
in sweat drops getting  down|pa|

ratna garland of beauty,-
went to catch ;they laughed |pa|

…………………………….end……………………………….

11) who is she?
In sandy of saraguru
Flower selling girl
You are not the one I know.
In song of kokila(kOEL)
Jasmine flower blossoming
Her kiss was leukewarm

Her lip is leaf of mango
Her breath is cool air;
Her eyes are deer eye’
Her head midline is fine;
Love beyond words;
Echo  of inner tone is very fine.

 She is  veena,sitar-
Who can play?
Question remained at end :who is se?
In circumference of my love
In dream I found
Who is she who came along with me?

I have not forgotten her;
 Not to be forgotten
Memory is  moon ray in sky
Whatever you say;
Ask any body
Coming answer :red field full!
……………………………end………………………

12) come for one minute and go
Come for a minute and go
Your child is crying
In pit   of flower(sevanthi)
 Petaled flower has blossomed.

Child in bamboo cradle
Lifting hood and crying;
In foam milk cup
Has saved ten drops


To you andful of work;
No leasure
 From  heart of flower garden
red is floating and coming.

How to leave and go?
Crying with eld breath
Calling’ mother! Mother!’
Has pushed the blanket

Till mother comes
Father is watch man
After it’s mother comes
Joy always

Pouring,putting dhupa(fragrance),swinging
Won’t sleep even if sung
Mother is wanted ,whatever said
It won’t fail to father.

Come,in room let
In room bangle sound spread
Within a minute  let
This cradle  swing( be pulled)

 For your tone cry has stopped;
Your laugh’s answer
Now I will go
 come near.

………………………………………….end…………………………..










13) come in my love:
Without tapping door directly come in my love,
I am open door I am to your tone.
As golden sunlight comes in open door
Come to your house waiting.

Along fence flower has become evening red
Ten drops of rain dropped  in evening,-
Now I remember the path you came
In non moving  stars light

Leaf dreams of forty chaithras
New colour as come to your lip
How shall I forget   kisses which I gave?
Your cheek is lotus dipped in honey

Than your words your smile is fine;
To that golden  crown your silence
At a time by many instruments
Is heard it’s sweet song

No anger for having come late,-
Very happy to me  by seing you
No doubt about that what he will feel
 Both are yours :field ,ball!
…………………………………..end………………………………….


14)in pallavi of pallavies…………………

In pallavi of pallavies song has spread winga;
In cool air is spreading  kokila (koel) music.
In lap of mango bees humming sound(jhenkara)
To trees and creepers body  is acceptable to red decoration.

 breath of    new chethana(spirit) has  covered hillsand rivers;
in garden   has been printed new years name.
wabbling leaf,net of beauty,rich spilling view;
in clear pond gold lotus flower blossomed  garden

sky blue endless  in blue sky
coming playing white clouds  under  cool  shadow
mango leaf  garland  (thorana) near front door
spring(madhumasa) is keeping feet  to enlight new year

 lip of love is shaking  in lip of lover
 light red ring is there in herfingure.
Fragrance of jasmine  in filled up knot;
 New year’s new song  is  tere in her neck.
………………………………………….end…………………………………………

 15)Your smile- jasmine
In circumference of    fragrance of your smile jasmine
I dance as you  make to play
In your  fruits and flowers big forest  love
Make to walk as you like

If how it is walked, beautiful like that  make to walk forward;
 Bring great joy to my life.
You are colourful  dream thrown in sky;
 Be attained in life  sing and bless.

In daily journey   call (bring)tomorrow’s  tone;
In evening play veena in hills;
Keep various  flowers in head which you brought;
Teach firmness in success and failure.

Now from depth of  valley’s and pathala’s
Some body’s flute fell to ear,
after knowing you are te one who called
 got flower like kiss to me.

I have not asked who you are  even once;
Am walking  along with you as mother.
I have not told   thatsteps get tired;
Is moving in sunlight and shadow.

River’s falling from hills  wich you have  shown
Spilled drops on my face
beyond dusk  found broken rain bow
one or two mother, your play!

Whatever you have taught to me
Like a lesson to my life
are you maya mother? I join hands to you
your love is also like tiger’s view(vision)

are you tiger or peacock?-discussion is going on
the path which you showd is my punya(good deed).
  Sound of water disturbance  in near pond;
your tone heard; I am blessed.
………………………………………………….end…………………………………..













16)in between red rose:
I found you in midst of red rose
In your  head was  jasmine piece

Your love is place where deers dance;
Your love in real is mychests prana
Your love is  boat filled by stars;
Red ceeked lass you are my queen.

Tilaka (sticker) sjhining in your forehead
In  flower  garden spreading long sigh
You came this side on green grass (blade)
Wile coming brought one or two flowers
.
Around you small dizling  here and there,-
You are the one knowing depth of  your love!
In front of your beauty I became wondered
Had spread white cloud deep blue sky

I don’t know which godes you are?
Wearing white dress o my love,
Spill answer in your eyes only;
Who came near  why won’t you stop?

………………………….End……………………………….


16)silence (mouna)
Put off light;
All have slept.
Keep veena in corner
Sleep has come to all.

Sheeps have become united  in herd;
Here and there listens demon’s snoring
 Dream on closing eye;screen behind screen
Eye of little  child line of sleep’
Give  to memory  infinet chances;
  Full dark in bed

Throw worn flower beyond  window;
This is time to kiss of boiling lips

Why are you over joy? Which dream to you?
Why your mind is  afraid of?
Poetry means  series of symbls

Put off light;
All have slept
keep veena to corner
sleep has come to all .
………………………..end…………………………

17)marriage  in valley:
No mistake of girl;
 Boy is not that black.

Marriage took place in valley
Ln morning of Tuesday
Purohithas(priests) in  roof(chappara)
Flied like bird.

To bring bride to dhare
Searched for neview.

Where was he ! did not come
Clarionet people did not leave

Tied tali to female
Told ‘won’ that old groom;

‘I also won’she told
 Showd fingureless  hand

Marriage took place in valley
In sound of instruments
…………………………..end…………………………….


18)soundlessness is not silence:
Soundlessness is not  silence .wat is hidden
In strings is also silence,at the eight of  
 Hill settled on big tree vision of eagle’s eye
Is also silence.seven colours of rainbow also
Melt in silence .later without sound
In green leaves shines noiseless  rain drop.
Child holding it’s mother’s saree border
 pulling celebration in cheek opens
beyond speech beyond feel poetry’s
first line.there is relation  to all letters
in successfulpotry,

Snow pours in silence.aquainted face
Becomes unacquainted in poetry,in snow.

19)to friend anand
Coming from sea (bank)shore to head of hills
I will ask you only one question;
Where were you born? One who
Have come along with me where
 were you born?what is your answer?
“in old big treetied swing
Just now heard new song”
Behind black cloud from answer of lightning
No any kind of consolation.in near temple’s tower
In shining lamps few are burnlng.some are put off.
Yes,white   waterfalls in black valley.
What is seen only is vision;white flowers
In green leaf. Your answer is not understood
By me.can be waited till it is understood
…………………………………………..end……………………………………….

20)Day is closing:
Day is closing
Dark is covering;
Star at distance distance

In way of town
In car street
Flow (fall)of flowers;

In green bed
Yellow flower sleeping  Found dream I am;


In eye of  flower
Wandering fragrance
I am drop of oney:

In full blue
 In Moving cloud
I found myself;

 In pearl evening
In border of  fence
I found myself;

After coming to house
Lighted lamp
Remembered you standing.

After remembering you
Singing myself
Opened window.

Fence is beyond
Flower is  this side
Chariot wearing beauty

You will come ,right
 When you will come
That much is secret?

You will come ,right
When are you coming
Only that much is secret?
……………………………………………………….end……………………….



21) your picture:

The picture(figure) which I built  by your memories
You did not become;this is my worry
Your eye lamps were like stars
Light light  in and out.

I was not knowing who you are
Joined lauging I garden,
You came near me to listen to  song;
Song was started  in evening.

First drops,later lightning,in cool air
Floated and came your fragrance of love
Ow shall I ask which flower it is?
To you rich jasmine is suitable flower.
…………………………………end……………………………….

22) rhymeless poetry

I won’t write poetry
For rhymes won’t seach  for words;
Sandal is not grown for sake of fuel
Like sahyadri people. In bank of amezon river’s
 Grass meadow missing some where
Black boy’s matter  I don’t know
 I am not at all  poet.shadow
Standing beyond  poetry.
Female’s knot’s flowers  floating coming dream
Of fragrance,in cradle of rainbow leg beating  kid
In path of tears whirling(coming) tender sun light
 Coming out ,from golden flute’s  eyes,seven notes
Door opened yaksha bhavan’s outside in blossomed garden
Keeping red lips to udder’s of kamadhenu
Nandini’s leg chain (gejje)sound
At distant  mountains  sacrifice smoke.

22)why kama(lust) became boy?
Original source:willium blake
Kannada translation: k.s narasimhaswamy
Re translation to English: raveendra hosodurga

Why kama (lust) became boy?
Why only boy?
 Is he has to become girl
As I understand!

By his bow he will leave  arrow;
Girl she pierces by eye;
To him and her to both joy
They laugh  by seing us crying.

 Kind of kama becoming  boy
Her plan(trick) of  imitation
Till he becomes  man
 Boy can’t  make to understand

Then hear his fate:
Hundred worries,pain,wound
He will reserve all his life
To search for sword’s(knife’s) edge.

From war loving Greeks
At last love becoming boy
Female becoming stone doll
Joy flied off
……………………….end………………………………….

23)i loved you once:
Original source :a.s pushkin
Kannada translation :by k.s. narasimhaswamy
Retranslation to English:ravendra hosadurga


I loved you once;how can heart be in peace
That love  still  remaining there only looks as though hesitating.
It’s worries difficulties and losses be not to you in future;
From me no any kind of  pains. O my love!
Without hopes I loved you;I am criminal  no mouth to me;
Pains of jealousy,shying despairs  I came to know one by one!

At depth,one more love equal  in delicacy,fermness,
By god’s grace,by one more person  wish it will be fulfilled|

In five elements(pancha bhutha)  heart my and your union;

In plantful fruit my and your union;
In deer kid’s eye my and your union;
In fruit’s honey my and your union;
In  flower held drops my and your union;

In morning sunlight my and your union;
In colour of design(picture)  my and your union;

Born some where  grown some where  my and your union;
In fragrance of love my and your union;

Like floating coming air my and your union;
Like heard song my and your  union.

25)prema(love)

In real joy blossomed jasmine
Coming fragrance  name is love;
 In  blue sky  shining  stars
Eye guesture’s name is love.     

Got down into green field white birds
Name  of  distant melody is love;
Female of squint eye,on your both sides lip
Smile’s name is love.

In some dream song sung by some body
Played heart’s name is love;
Come near mine,embrace tight and speak-
 I call itself love.

Come my love,let cheek come near
In kiss  let two lives unite!
 To journey with endless ups and downs
 Let wish good  coming blessed feel!

26) beauty:
moving  on head of hill
from border of white sky

Sounding bees love called me.

From shadow of bamboo stick
From herd flute
 Beauty with full success
Called me

27)  picture of silenceLmouna chithra)
On the path you came which flower ad blossomed?
Which bird’s song  was heard?
Fragrance(fineness) of which land attracted you ?
Which rain bow shined?

 Did bell sound from temple tower heard?
Did pond water arose waves?
Did front figure  made to fall worn jasmine?
 Was  there  one cloud in full blue?

Your coming is fine;this life by you
Is planning to see  happiness.
Along  fence green is now breathing;
Air is also blowing light.

Soon after seing you  inner house lights
Are shining enlighting still more
Let the sarees you brought be within box;
You can  clean(odaru……………….)them at your leasure.




I had  believed    that you will come tomorrow
You ave come today only! Right you have come.
To all my words  is silence answer?
Won’t you speak ;what happened?

Curley hair  is dusty;knot dis arranged
I did not ask why you came.
Balancing every word  the letter which I sent
did not tell ‘come  now only’.

Your’s is tis house; if you come at any time
I will welcome you at door only.
Rain stopped ,everywhere joy has spread
Come in;laugh and leave my love.

 how it is if you stand like this in open door ?
why doubt   to come in to you?
In backyard little calf had jumped towards mother;
I will tie within a minute.

As though single answer to all my questions
You are standing like a figure(picture).
Laugh came,I came to know all at end;
You have come  as per my letter!

28) namanas to cool air(tambelarige namana)

Where dark ends,light lifts head and shines,
Where cloud as figure blessing eyes;
Where light,mere light is getting away from words
To there carried  and coming cool air my namanas!

Behind light fragrance came from sky flowers
From depth of heart of blossomed flowers emited  outsparks
Behind each leaf of tree of sky from shining nuts(midi)
 My namanas  cool air which  came to carry me there

Pushing rain bow has got down  dizling from wet  cloud
A new lightning  had pierced sky by sharp edge
From tree to tree moving bee in joyful tones
My namanas to cool air coming to carry me over there!

In border of river  was wabbling golden feathers fish;
 I stood seing all it’s beauty stunned’
On big tree at tip of  branch  had kept bee nest,
My namanas  to cool air coming to carry me over there!

In evening had fallen  above garland of stars;
Behind leaves  had beaten  birds wings in line;
In field came kid deer  like a child
My namanas to cool air coming to carry me  over there!

28) one is enough

Why houseful of children?
Are two not enough?
At end why two?
Is one not enough?

Wheather male or female  one enough;
 Make it to grow  and Enjoy.
Let golden dreams be realized;
Get satisfaction,

One child on shoulder
Smile of joy
It’s speech  are melody to ear
Light of lamp to life.

Only one enough to  house;
     Moon along path
In heart of green leaves
Jasmine is blossoming.

29)laugh and leave(nakku bidu)

Don’t act as though laughing ,simply laugh and leave;
Let enlighten  your inner house  of love!

In waves of your love let moon light roll!
In your green dream  let jasmine  flowerblosom!

Star twinkling  full of sky ,let them wish good to you!
In path of flower fence  let silver star sing!

You don’t never stop;keep steps towards light;
Moov,love,waving border  from silence to  speech.

Beyond hill one field; it’s full cows,
Lifting neck to your tone  dancing grey(brown) calves.

Like you your love’s  fountain  like drops;
Near only at height your and  mine houses.

In direction you come fragrance of cool air;
Flower blossomed  with joy along path  left and right.

Being with  why did you fall behind,don’t know;
Wearing jasmine  itself  your wornsaree is white
Bamboo forest   beyond gold region what is there?
Rings  of flute  tone’s evening song has spread.

Come near, holding figure,moov forward simply,
Laugh and leave  world is seing simply.

30)first kiss :
Memory of first kiss ;shine of depth of heart,
Below full moon  white cloud.
In blue sky light red is appearing,-
Don’t know were your love is born?

Memory of first kiss ;twinkle of    sea pearl
On thorn creeper  single flower
On coconut leaves (gari) bird is flying coming;-
From where   did pain came to it’s  song?

Memory of first kiss; path along fence;
Smile of little children can be seen.
No body in street;only two are coming;
State is yours ,can be ruled.

Memory of first kiss;on red bud
Cool air,spreading in silence
In happy  night  veena has spread tone;
  In room lamps are burning

Memory of first kiss;in eyes of star
Ununderstood guesture is  is calling.
Suddenly lamps putting off ,in full dark
 Memory of first kiss is  being forgotten
……………………………………..end……………………………….
31) song of light
you  are waiting sitting for deep dark;
do you don’t want light of deepavali?
Stars at night  without moon
To distant distance what a rich light!

A wheel is rotating unseen to eye
In star dust in sky
At distant hill storm is blowing;
Song is heard in valley

To note of water falls at border of land
Bird is singing in fence,
At the height of high trees  rain bow
Melting slowly became evening.

Don’t ask to where is this path tese or those;
At last what is got is our house only!
In environment of coconut and banana background
Green has spread in garden see

In front of rangoli  flower children are playing;
In house lamps are  garland garland,-
Why do you wait for black dark like this?
Come sing song of light.

Till our janaki came?|pa|

Peace desired by   cave piarrot
Waves fish clear peace
Peace of snow on hill
Peace of tones of flute of forest(pa)

Peace of cows of milk colour
Peace of  light of deer’s eye
Peace of tones of red lotus,|pa|

Peace of female’s knot’s flowes
Peace of silver nanda deepa(endless lamp)
Peace which spreads  when children laugh
Peace of love of  joy and happyness|pa|

Incomparable peace of full moon day night
Peace of figure of cool air
Peace of star shining in sky
Peace of boat tied to bank

32)one memory

When all were sleeping I got awoke;
Got up and went up to hosilu(door),
Found one red rose beyond
It’s thorn is also red! Pained inside

In wall –mirror found one face
Did not know whose it is
In pomegranate fruit  bitten by squirrel
Found seedless  yellow nest.

Found dream of spring in ashada;
Found  little children in middle of green;
Found blossomed bud of red lotus in pond;
Found smile ,remembered you

In star silence  full moon day without you
Sang  my song of separation fire
World which does not agree to allow me to myself
Came to my eyes  like drops;

Came to memory on that day on hase mane(sacred bench)
Memory of given hand kerchief.
Did you not ask what is love?
To me  memory is as thoughasked   now.

33) the mad song
Original source:willium blake
Kannada translation:k.s.narasimha swamy
Retranslated to English: raveendra hosadurga

Storm is crying(goliduthide)
Night’s chill is drilling
Sleep come near
To open my sorrow.

There see peep of early morning
In deep eastern valleys
Blaming this earth,old leaves falling
Bed of moving flowers in gardens

See there !there
Towards tower(kalasa) of sky
My wabling sorrows
Melodius ttones are arising;

Drowning in ears of night
 Making to weep day’s efe(wiping?)
Making mad to sounding air
Playing with storm

In sorrow of sounding  in middle of cloud
 Like standing demon I am
 Rushing   If night is over
Going along with night

Towards east growing  all joys
Will turn back
That light getting angry spreading net of  pain
Arrests   my this intellect.
……………………………………………end…………………………..


34)song heard on some day

One song heard on some day
I taught to veena
Rembering that  when you sang
I also played with you.

You sang,I played;
Path of song  was shown
To your neck , to my figure
Evening greeted good.

To melody of raga(tun) you sang
 Mango tree swinged  leaf.
Singing kokila(koel) to distance distance
Peacock  waved(swinged) wing.

Song disturbed silence and spread
In slow moving  rythm
Leg chain(gejje) sounds  heard and came
In greenish green  field.

Peacock of life  came and sang
In your silver tone,
Colour colour light appeared
In lip of soil lamp(hanathe)

You sang, I played;
Song melted slowly
Emited fragrance  to cool air
Your knot’s jasmine
………………………………….end…………………………………..

35)thirty years had passed  like this
You came to my house
That first day’s sweet memory  which
 I met you came to me.

Moving past to thirty year back
 Came letter to me;
In golden light of evening rain
 I came to your house.

Found enthusiasm;found smile
In group of friends
In flower creeper found one bud
In dense of green leaves.

Full of cup bringing hot milk
As you kept in front of me,
I  sat seing it’s stream;
Where were I am then?

‘please take’ your father told
Seing towards me
‘sing that song’ your mother told
 Making to wear flowers to your jade(tuft of hair)

In reason of tightening nose star(muguthi)
 Looking towards me
From your likely song
Singing one or two lines,

 As you won ‘do you agree’
Had asked your mother house
‘wait will write’ I told;small sweat on face.

To day when thirty years have passed
In that path of life
that day’s memory came as  song
in love which you gave.
…………………………….end………………………………..



36)Is this love?
Is this love:dream melted in magi(winter)
Disappearing path in big forest
Failing in putting ladder to rain bow
Emotional life wandering in moon light?

Is this love:
Without disturbing bee of flower chest
Break of body of  creepers of  green leaves
Kiss of blue evening to  lip of red day
Vision is cool  though body is fire?

Is this love:flame rising to  edge(border) of stars
Coconut and banana under full moon
 Border (saree) sliping on  open chest hills
Beauty  which whirled(came) one minute back?

Is this love:
Eye wonder  of five coloured  parrot-
Speak,this silence which ship?
Without  finishing night only in embrace (arm bond)
 See  bythrowing flower towards .
………………………………………end…………………………………………



37)is this not December?
Is this not December now?
In milky moon light spilled at night
 Moving under stars
Will   it be not seen
At the tip of  grown up trees on silver leaves
In tower cross?

For Christmas night still more chill (cold) is needed;
In street and lanes christmas trees arising
Swinging light  like pearls and ratnas
Behind window glass  smile should blossom;
Joy of dance and song  should spill and flow;
 Should be Welcomed in soft words.

Neck of prayer should rise  should rise to sky;
  Bells at height should sound continuously;
Peace should rest(settle);

Through out green  of field  flowers should play;
Should be remembered   love itself is god;
In middle of tears  shoud join hands.
……………………………………..end……………………………………




38)desire
I want to become  flower nodding  head  to bird’s song
I want to become sound of tone of cow’s neck chain

Desire of becoming  sky   above spread  rain bow
Desire of becoming lightning(twinkling) of gold coloured  deer’s eye

Desiring of becoming  floating in breath of  garden’s fragrance
Desire of becoming fish  wabling in water of blue see

 Desire of  moving  forward without  fearing to severe rain emiting  thumberbolt
Desire of keeping lamp  to night  twist of tomorrow’s  life;

Desire to holding  mirror  to gift of soil,to pain,joy;
  Desire of joining tone  to kindness and love of human heart.
………………………………………..end………………………………..

38)let poetry wish good to all:

Blue sky does not know differentiation ;
Birth of all from one soil;
Journey of all in only one direction;
Let failure success  what ever comes
Let poetry wish good to all!

Walking breaking cross walls
 Mixing in  welfare  of poor and ric
All brothers working together,
let all taste (enjoy)  earnings
let potry wish good for all!

Let everybody get shadow to stand
To all children good milk;
Let golden sun light fall on everybody
Let everybody get peace
Let poetry wish good to all!

No limit to kindness of earth,
Everybody’s  labour has fruit
Tomorrow’s door is divine garden,
Let love and peace succeed
Let poetry wish good to all!
…………………..end……………………….

39) poetry birthing time:
Behind bamboo wall which can’t be opened
Is asking  is poetry born?
What I told in border of lip is this:
Is it loss if you wait for one more day?

Selection of experience had finished
 Suitable words not available,stood waiting
 Going beyond noise(abbara)  solid lines
Found dream of  natural moovments.

When deep experience  is held by hand of speec
When heat becomes light one poem.
I have come to field and waiting;
Proper news is about to come.

In such shop only this much value to words
I did not know earlier.
One one speech has one one history;
 I did not go up to root.

To wait is not at all difficult
 Stars are waiting like this from beginning
At the time of birth of poetry
There are  hundreds  to be done by me only.-

Without knowing my difficulties  paridhavi(name of the year)
 Is running towards it’s shishira.
To bodyless feel making to wear desired form
 Is it possible to send within tomorrow?
………………………..end…………………………………

??40) kumkuma  bhumi  ( land)

When digged what is got is  kumkuma land(earth);
Work of weapon(guddali) has stopped there
As per calendar rain also fell ten drops;
By sweating  handful(bogase) has filled.
(…………………………………………………………………?)

 Exchanging  queue of Shadow of horse servant
In finished palace  king’s style;
Sand creeping up to tower of temple;
 In front of burried eye  zero street.

Though spilled(spread) grain did not become
In roof(chappara) of worries  golden spark:
Grown without sowing   old speech’s devil
In whose noise (abbara) standing world?

What ever is got to hand  leaning sighing
Has become yellow  tomorrow –pregnant
Joy of one night,pain of seven eight months
 time of filling body(stomach) ray mood

female or male ?can be named after delivery.
Words taught by others should not be born,
Firmless word(speech).let grow child of selfness;
Let eye twinkle (sparkle) drinking mother’s milk

They were here who put signature in stone.
Who hunted wild buffelow
By nail of figure who digged snake’s  house(huttha)
Who made to fall eagles from height.

Total lives  without any concealment
Bold shining artists
Exposing body  to fallen rain and blowing air
 Peaceful  excetra worshippables,naturals.

Those who have fixed flags  in all peaks
First morning tone risers(lifters)
Who have left  house in  coal(burning) (kenda) spilled evening
Who did not return even after morning however much.

What is born be  hard(solid) growing like them!
Song of full blood be heard!


Red of earth’s body,water’s body  stitch of snake
Sky tumult(talamala) by  remembering  labour pain.

In green leaves  non fading  eyes shining
 Correct wrong steps!
Trees rooted in depth of earth  live
  wear flowers in all times!

 41) to your love,to it’s  way
Tears are only gift?
To blue star ,gold moon
Unmatchable match

To your love,to it’s way
Beauty is dreams  youth(javanike);
To border of silver  sleep
Whirling little smile is appearance.

In filled drilled  chest of flower
Pain is bed for  air;
Honey life’s in shadow of  bush(pode)
Has built nest for desire.

Veena has played beyond strings
to song of fire figure;
pallavi of long sighhas become fence
worry ruling forest

saw smiling faces on
sides of  of street and lanes;
 only one smileless face I found
in my front yard(angala)

in hundred mirrors found
face not to be seen;
knew   reduced  face of ingitha(ability to understand other’s mind)
 joy sealed with sorrow(joyless) 

 I found you in laughless face
 Vastness(depth) of known sky
First fascination ,love disturbing
Life filled day.

To your love ,to it’s way
Can I give gift?
To beauty of earth  fading time
Your love is comparison.

In bank (shore) wabling wave again kissing eye
Moves like dream.
Wave comes and calls  to palace of your love
To inner sea ratna puri(rafna town)

Mahima(greatness) of  statue of inner temple
I don’t know kind of your love  kanakangi
 This lightning appearing without becoming star,tomorrow better half?

Eye as clear sky little star
Jade (veni) as flower garden of  spring(vasantha)
Was not feeling like to keep feet further.

Standing here and there seing her again again
Went stand  in pain of separation(viraha)
Found one   person  selling fruit on path

Leg chain melody
Fragrance of fascinating jasmine

Own kiss to own lip
To cheek kiss of cool air;
In descending hair kiss to ear
Swinging;female
Was moving.

In golden light
Lightning of  monsoon lighting
In clouds getting down to earth
Was shining;was
Calling me.

Threw flowers and walked
Brought one or two

Brought flower is so much beauty
Wear and remember her;
From unseen veena
Song gets down ;hear!

Simple poetries ,melodious toned
Beautiful joy garden;

To rotary ox  death
Is supreme grace…

On that side donkey of washerman
During day only
Cried  ‘ayyo died!’
