Habitation in the Wood / Abu Karim
My habitation is in the wood, a beautiful sight,
many birds chirp around me day and night.
Bees have built a honeycomb on a branch;
their sense of art pleases me much.
Torrential rains pour in rainy season mornings for hours;
my mind becomes nostalgic in the fragrance of flowers.
Grasshoppers fly around the sky, nice to see.
in the afternoon elephant sprinkle water in glee.
The sun makes a rainbow on water in seven colors;
I become charmed with his cheerful cheers.
Animals, birds, plants and trees live in the wood;
they all live with one another having a strong brotherhood.
