If the glimmering morning’s dew,
That lodges on the
grassy stand,
Dwells, but for so
short a moment to be cherished…
If the exquisite
flower,
That blooms with its
unblemished hue,
Mesmerizes, but so
swiftly does it wither…
If the alluring
beams,
That dawns on the
beings beneath,
Comforts, but it to
be obscured by the thunderous growl…
If a millipede on its
expedite adventure,
Has to face the end
of its guts,
When so witty and
gregarious ants ambush its stroll…
If one who carols with
merriment today,
Has to wail with
excruciating agony tomorrow,
Who can evade the
ultimate destiny?
If the nuptial knot
that has been fastened,
Persists, but for it
to be slackened off gradually,
What enthrall is
there in the invincible love?
What rivet is there
in the flawless beauty?
What meaning is there
in sumptuous and fussy life?
For everything is
adjoined by transiency.
