I cried silently in melancholy
on banks of a river
playing with the pebbles nearby
shedding the precious tears…
Few of the sparkling beads
got trickled in the water
diffusing scent of passionate love
in the zephyr…
Like incense , redolent fragrance
vaporized in the air
seeing the luminous crescent
radiating in the flowing river…
Blushed I , the bride for a night
awaiting her effulgent lover
a glimpse of whom
surged my feelings upheaval!
Smiled the king of my life
when the waves stirred
beckoning my love with embrace
proclaims me as the night princess.
Here I come O! my love!
Cereus ,am I called,
For a night, I bloom ,
To be with you till the day dawns!
Behold ! for I dance for a night
swaying with my lover
the ardous scene would compel
you ,to drink the drops of nectar…
Of glossy shine ,petals divine
in zeal I bask,without fear,
tho’ I know
Iam Cereus ,the night blooming flower
who blossoms in nightime,
as crown of Nox,
only once a year!
