I Will Be Guided

I will be guided,
though it seems impossible.
How do I know?
I just know it.
Nagna says:
"She does not neglect
what is dear to Her."

--Nagna Devidas (Donald Traxler)

मुझे निर्देशित किया जाएगा,
हालांकि यह असंभव लगता है
मुझे कैसे पता चलेगा?
मुझे पता है।
नग्न कहते हैं:
"देवी उपेक्षा नहीं करेंगे
जो उसे प्रिय है। "

This Museum

This museum
is full of ancient things,
now mostly forgotten.
Very few people
come through the doors.
Very few people
are aware of it,
and it's hard to find.
Nagna says:
"Why is this museum open,
if not for the Goddess?"

Nagna Devidas (Donald Traxler)

इस संग्रहालय से भरा है
प्राचीन चीजें,
अब ज्यादातर भूल गए
बहुत कम लोग
दरवाज़े के माध्यम से आओ
बहुत कम लोग
इसके बारे में पता है,
और यह खोजने के लिए मुश्किल है
नग्न कहते हैं:
"यह संग्रहालय क्यों खुला है,
अगर नहीं देवी के लिए? "
