Okram Shakuntala
Manipur
(India)
Never can a house burn
Never can
hot water
Burn a good
house
Never can
fake love
Make someone
a spouse
Fire in the
water
And fire in
the sphere
Here is no
heart
And mind is
not there
Colouring
the earthen wall
All are
illusions
With no
water
Its dazzling
so runs
Might is
right
That once
upon a time
The whole
earth ran after
As a noble
prime
Land is the
land
That can not
touch the sky
True is not
the love
That in
pleasure did lie
