naisaiku week 17

[ echoes of indian poetry - 10 ]


" maati kahe kumhar se tu kya raunde moye
ik din aisa aayega main raundungi toye " ~ kabir

[ kabir ~ devotional poet from medieval India - A.D . 1400 - 1500 approximately ]

you keep kneading me
says the clay to the potter
BUT THE DAY WILL COME
when i would be pounding you
and the day will come ~ kabir
