A Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya

You re-awaken in the morn.
The mystic song
That
Phoebes writ
With his pure beams
Across,
The firmament;
Whom,
The birds
Hailed out by name;
The Symphony
That,
The wind played;
The rain that fell;
The consecrated song
That
Condensed into,
Little wavelets
On,
The river.
Ascend the stairway(If there is)
Of,
The consecrated song
Ere sleep descends.
