The tree gets shelter from the scorching sun
With the shadow of a woman
Rivers dry up. Woman gives
Cool soothing water
Polluted nature also desire
Nursing of a woman.
I am too a plant, why not I get
Shelter from woman?
Hot Chaitra sky knows woman is
A piece of cloud.
All the greens of the desert is this woman
In the land of permafrost woman is the only flower
In darkest night this woman is the full moon.
