Delightful mirth

Jai Sri Ram,
To those who have no taste for poetry nor devotion to the feet of Sri Rama,

This undertaking of mine will serve as a subject for delightful mirth,

My composition is couched in popular dialect and my intellect is feeble,

Hence it is a fit subject for ridicule and those who laugh shall not incur any blame,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Cataka bird

Jai Sri Ram,
The laughter of the evil will benefit me,

Crows call the cuckoo hoarse,

Herons ridicule the swan,

Frogs make fun of the Cataka bird and malicious rogues deride refined speech,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Humble is my lot

Jai Sri Ram,
Humble is my lot,

And my ambition is high,

My only hope is that all good men will be gratified to hear what i say,

While the evil minded will lough,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Rare Good Soul

Jai Sri Ram,
The world abounds in men who resemble lakes and rivers,

That get swollen with their own rise when waters are added to them,

There is some rare good soul like ocean,

Which swells at the sight of full Moon, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Insipid

Jai Sri Ram,
Those, however, who are hard hearted, mischievous and perverse and cherish others' fault as an ornament,
will feel amused,

Who doesn't like one's own poetry,

Be it delightful or exceedingly insipid,

Such good people as delight to hear other's composition are rare in this world,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Forgive my presumption

Jai Sri Ram,
The virtuous will forgive my presumption,

And listen to my childish babbling with interest,

When a child prattles in lisping accents,

The parents hear it with mind full of delight, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

crave for nectar

Jai Sri Ram
Even though my intellect is exceedingly mean, 

My aspiration pitched too high, 

While a crave for nectar,

I have no means in the world to procure even butter milk, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

My ambition

Jai Sri Ram,
I would recount the virtues of the lord of Raghus, Sri Rama, 

Whereas the exploits of sri Rama are unfathomable,

For this i find the least resources,

While i am bankrupt of mind and intellect, my ambition is right royal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
