Poem:
देखो कोयल काली है
पर मीठी है इसकी बोली
इसने ही तो कूक–कूक कर
आमों में मिसरी घोली
कोयल कोयल सच बतलाओ
क्या संदेशा लाई हो
बहुत दिनों के बाद आज फिर
इस डाली पर आई हो
Look
coke is black
Sweet
but its quote
That's
how it cooks
Mangoes

Tell
the coil cuckoo truth
What
message have you brought
After
many days again today
Come
on this cast
क्या गाती
हो किसे बुलाती
बतला
दो कोयल रानी
प्यासी
धरती देख माँगती
क्या
मेघों से पानी?
कोयल
यह मिठास क्या तुमने
अपनी
माँ से पाई है
माँ
ने ही क्या मीठी बोली
यह
सिखलाई है
Who sings what you call Thirsty
Is water from the clouds?
Cuckoo this sweetness did you
Got your mother
Mother only sweet
It is teachable
डाल
डाल पर उड़ना–गाना
जिसने
तुम्हें सिखाया है

बहुत
भली हो तुमने माँ की
बात
सदा ही मानी है
इसीलिये
तो तुम कहलाती
हो
सब चिड़ियों की रानी
Put on the fly
Who taught you
Say sweet-sweet
This has also
told you
You are very
good
Always believed
the thing
That's why you
called
Yes all the
birds of the queens
