“Like an Elephant
Translated by A.K. Ramanujan
Like an elephant
lost from his herd
suddenly captured,
remembering his mountains,
his Vindhyas,
I remember.
A parrot
coming into a cage
remembering his mate,
I remember.
O lord white as jasmine
show me
your ways.
Call me: Child, come here,
come this way.”

“A Vein of Sapphires
Translated by Jane Hirshfield
A vein of sapphires
hides in the earth,
a sweetness in fruit;
and in plain-looking rock
lies a golden ore,
and in seeds,
the treasure of oil.
Like these,
the Infinite
rests concealed in the heart.
No one can see the ways
of our jasmine-white Lord.”
