CHILDREN ARE GOING TO SCHOOL ...

Morning light spreads

 over the earth.

Once again, the Sky bows his head in respect,

For children are going to school.

The Sun, after his morning dip in the river

 dressed up in his golden muslin turban

 waits and smiles on one side of the road,

For children are going to school.

Through the green-topped branches,

 Breezes sing their songs of blessings.

Fragrant Flowers awaken the sleepy roads

 with their melodies.

At the corner of the lane,

 the Peepal in his lush deep foliage

 waves his hands

For children are going to school.

Angels of light have set out ...

Every road is a-gleam.

At this hour,

 every particle of the Earth

 throbs like a mother’s heart.

Time, sitting on an old roof,

 flies pigeons in the sky.

For children are going to school.
