Should it be of sapphire, the vessel,

In which I could capture the veiled force

Which keeps the perfect equilibrium

As to keep the iceberg from tipping.

A titanic, infected iceberg,

That tips a little to the extreme

Left, when the puppy* passes away,

A cry is heard in a dark storehut,

Lamplit teary face, a new tenant,

A cry to balance the funeral ones,

A soul equal to hers in soul grams.

This chariot never stops, the horses

Never get tired. They will bathe you

If you stand still in this walking world

And cry to you for peace, and bring

Pampore saffron for a peaceful valley
