Manjul
Seeing you lie in such a small puddle,
I feel pity on you;
you should rather have lain
all over the grandeur of the sky.
Seeing you bow down and further down,
I feel for you;
you should rather have grown upward.
You happened to turn the sky upside down,
and render the trees uprooted on grounds.
Seeing you stand inverted this way,
I am pained,
O mountain in the puddle!
