Midnight Sunshine/Ishwar Ballabh
Translation: braZesh
Defying the law of nature
are made the Scandinavian stature
hearts vast as sky
flowers breathing life in them
and soul made of snow
White feathery shapes of
clouds flutter
with the wings of birds
reflection of nature
chorus of melody
reach up to the blue
where the sun emerges in mid night
How very lucky
before anyone else
to see the light
they don’t have to wait
for the twilight
Realities tender as heaven
a lass and a child
straight out of fairy tale
poetry penned with snow
Norway, a true replica
of a perfect dream land
country like a sweet ballad
When I am alone, I try
just for you
a country’s rhyme
of midnight sunshine
Shoo away my darkness
you have to come
along with your sun rising
for me, you have to sing
your melody of light and dark
wearing the necklace
glittering with snowy spark
