Balcony
 
Posted by Keith A. Simmonds Tue, May 13th 2008, 10:53 :: English
the old woman
drinking on the balcony...
dreams of summer
Hindi translation by Rebba Singh. Posted on Tue, May 13th 2008, 11:31
burdhi aurat
jharokae par se peeyae...
garamion ke swapan


बुर्दी औरत
झरोकए पर से पीयाए
गर्मियों के स्वपन

Transcripted into Devanaagari by Narayanan Raghunathan
