THE BIRTH OF GANGANARGASThe sea flatters her;But on she goes; her eyes turned up to heaven,heaven's eyes gazing into hers,Still the sea, catching her by the hands and holdingher round the waist, tries to take her back to hishome."0 God! I will not stay with this monster of windsand waves,I will not stay with the slanderer of my great father.Pray, heaven! send down thy beams and bear meupwards in their embraces.And take me back to the lap of my father!I will not stay with this monster of the waves."The Ganga ascends.On the shoulders of the winds, in the craddle wovenof the rays of the sun and moon, she is liftedhigh to the mid sky,To the Himalayas back the Ganga flies.In the cradle of light is her ascent,Where the spark of life is fanned by angels.Once again she tries to forget the world,Once again, in the lap of Himalayas, the Ganga liesand plays.Once again she is lot in Nirvana.Once again her legs are crossed, her backbonestraightened as she broods in thought.Her eyes are closed, her mind is lost in calm.Page 32www.sikhbookclub.com
NARGASTHE BIRTH OF GANGAOnce again her soul is all gathered within,. Seated li.ke a Jogi in the snows,The eternal unmelting snows,And burlled:in them, and aglow is still the spark oflife! .The Ganga sleeps, she sleeps again in trances onthe snows.But the spark of fire she has in her soul rouses heragain.Again she moves, again she flows; again she goes tobless and love.Tired and spent, again she returns.Filled and refreshed, again she flows,She is alive, and the spark of life in her soul burnsfor ever.(tlwp;r;r-cfra7r-'"Ffl]eo:ffitJai -e- oro.
