ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR KS 155

KS 155
làra:h làzàm manz mö:da:nas,
àndy àndy kàrimas takiyè tà ga:h |
sva roziy yèty tay bva gatshà pa:nas,
vony gav va:nas phalab dith ||

I built a house in the middle of the plain,
furnished it with pillows and made it bright.
It will stay when I am gone.
The shopkeeper left, and closed the shutters tight.

Note: This va:kh did not appear on Jayalal Kaul's list, so he presumably did not have much confidence in it's authenticity. It isn't well documented, either, since I had only a single devanagari text and a loose English translation to work with. I elected to include it anyway, because the image is so charming.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
