Two Poems of Bharati

(Translated from Tamil by R. Sundaresan)

May India Prosper

May India prosper!
May India prosper!

All the thirty crores of us
follow the path of socialism.

Will one hereafter cheat another
by taking away his food cunningly?

Will one hereafter watch another
in suffering and pain indifferently?

Our country is full of vast fertile lands,
fruits and vegetables
she gives us in abundance.

Let us proclaim an order
and uphold it for ever;
if an individual goes without food
let us destroy the world.

Lord Krishna said:
“I live in all beings.
We all belong to one and the same community,
We are all Indians,
We are all equal,
We are all kings of this land,
We are all kings of this land.�
May India prosper. May India prosper!

Prayer to Goddess

What I think
should be carried out,
I should think only good thoughts,
I should be full of courage,
I should have unclouded wisdom,
like fog before the sun
let all my sins be washed away.
�Translated from Tamil by R. Sundaresan
