☆ Kunti’s Longing For Bheema ☆
“Where art thou, my dear child Bheema?
My brow stressful, heart sobs and weeps!
Have come back all my sons and nephews
Says Duryodhana, that he last saw you asleep….”
“Where art thou, my dear child Bheema?
My eldest Yudhishthira, so naive and innocent
Believes everyone to be as honest as he is
Did not, while returning, note that you are absent”
“Where art thou, my dear child Bheema?
Duryodhana, detests you and is spiteful too
Worry and anxiety make me a wreck
Has greed for the throne led him to kill you?”
“Where art thou, my dear child Bheema?
Says Vidura the wise, you have a life long
His reassurance, hardly of any help
Thoughts of anguish, my heart throng.”
“Where art thou, my dear child Bheema?
Pray, come and embrace me in your arms
I can’t even openly name the persons wrong
Hey Bheema! Entice me with your charms!”
