ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 42

JK/NKK 42
rut tà krut soruy pazèm,
kanan nà bozun achan nà ba:và     |
oruk dapun yèli vvandà vuzèm,
ratna-di:p prazàlèm varzàni va:và     ||

Both good and bad,
I must tolerate all.
My ears will not hear,
nor my eyes see.
When the inner call
rises in my mind,
the jewel light will
shine for me,
even in the wind
of the storm.

Note: In this poem Lalla completes and resolves the dialog she began with herself in JK/NKK 43, previously translated. It's about learning to be less sensitive to, or even ignore, the taunts and jeers of others.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
