The Damru...

Dham dham dham dhi dham dhi dham
dham dham dham dhi dham dhi dham
Dham dham dham dhi dham dhi dham
Dhid dham dhi dham dham dham
dhim dhimi dham

The sound of the cosmos, used to come to me
to remind me of you, O Shiva!
In the form of the ice-cream wala
and, sometimes the Bombay sweet we had…
I used to run on terrace,
to see how that music looked like.
Ragged, torn yet very much one with earth and sand.
One with me, One with Universe!
In every music that I heard thereafter...
Your damru echoed long, vibrating in my heart.

Why did you play such music?
Which left me restless throughout the day?
And, to calm myself…
I had to run in woods and ask mother again…

“What did he want to say?
Why did he play that music, which longed me to stay with him?
Why can’t I be with him now?
What is it that I have forgotten, and can’t remember now?”

The only answer she gave was,
“Wait patiently my child, TIME will give all the answer you want.”

And, having finally perceived you in this world!
My heart leaps and plays the same music again
that I thought my heart had long forgotten...
Oh! Shekarayae Shiva… how long is the wait!
When we would talk of all, that was to be discussed…
Making me angry, is your favourite sport I know!
But, what would you do,
if I don’t speak to you anymore and disappear…
I don’t even know how much you Love me…
Is it just the words, or you really care a lot!

When will you play the same Damru again
when forgetting everything, I would dance with you again!
Feel the bliss of your presence again, to teach and be taught...
The sound of cosmos yearns to celebrate…
The Damru! That fills every single being with bliss...
I pray you to play again...

Dhimi dhimi dham dhi dham dhi dham
dhimi dhimi dham dham
dhimi dhimi dhi dham dhi dham!
Dhimi dhimi dham...
Dhimi Dhimi dham!
