ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 68, 69

JK/NKK 68
kus puS tày kvasà puSö:ni:,
kam kvasam lö:gizès pu:ze     |
kami sarà gôD dizès zalidö:ni:,
kawà sanà manthàrà Sankar vuze     ||

Who is the male florist,
and who is the female florist?
Which flowers can be
offered to Him?
From which spring comes the water
to anoint the idol of Shiva?
Which mantra awakens Shiva?

JK/NKK 69
man puS tày yatsh puSö:ni:,
ba:vàky kvasam lö:gizès pu:ze     |
SaSirasà gôD dizès zalàdö:ni:,
tshvapi manthàrà Sankar vuze     ||

The male florist
is the mind,
and the female florist
is desire.
Offer flowers of devotion
in His worship.
The nectar in the digit
of the moon
is to be poured on Him
for anointing.
The mantra of silence
will awaken Shiva.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ

Note: The "nectar in the digit of the moon" refers to a particular mystical experience involving the sahasrara chakra (the "thousand-petaled lotus").
