Kedarnath Singh

SUDDENLY ONE DAY

Suddenly one day
the meaning of

diamonds                     pearls
turmeric                       onions
Kabir                             Nirala
Heaven                         Hell
crickets                        mist

will become
clear

just as
sunlight
passing over
thatched roof
suddenly sparkles.

SUDDENLY ONE DAY

Close

SUDDENLY ONE DAY

Suddenly one day
the meaning of

diamonds                     pearls
turmeric                       onions
Kabir                             Nirala
Heaven                         Hell
crickets                        mist

will become
clear

just as
sunlight
passing over
thatched roof
suddenly sparkles.

SUDDENLY ONE DAY

Kabir                             Nirala
Heaven                         Hell

will become
clear

just as
sunlight
passing over
thatched roof
suddenly sparkles.
