Applause for peace
Applause for us.

मन तरंग होउन पाण्यावरती फ़िरते..
अन क्षणात फिरूनी अभाळाला भीडते..

There is so much to share like we used to,
But where are you to listen? gone
Still I say goodbye

Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs,
That on a wild secluded scene impress
Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect
The landscape with the quiet of the sky.
