The Manifestation Of Beauty

 

Introduction
This short poem is the spontaneous expression of the poet's  Love for the Eternal Beauty (God) and his ardent desire to witness the same. Its beauty and meanings are difficult to  translate into English 'and are equally difficult to be  appreciated by those un initiated towards that Beauty. The reader is requested to exercise his spiritual imagination.

Translation
Beauty's manifestation which gives restlessness to Longing
Which youth nurtures in its fancy's lap

By which this ephemeral universe becomes eternal
By which youth becomes a colorful tale

Which teaches us to be meditating
To be escaping the present state's scene

Which removes the immaturity of perceptions
Which makes Intellect a slave to impressions

Ah! Does that Beauty exist anywhere or not?
O Lord! Does that jewel exist on the universe' ring?
