I went to fetch water from the lake, but my love wont let me, O mother! <br />Kneading my firm breasts, he lusted for the nectar of my lips, O mother! <br />I went to fetch water from the lake, but my love wont let me, O mother! <br /> <br />'How did you hurt your lips' my mother-in-law suspiciously asks. <br />'It was my girl friend's nail as she was helping me with the pots' <br />I went to fetch water from the lake, but my love wont let me, O mother! <br /> <br />I had gone in a great hurry but my love held me back, <br />It is excellent to attain Narsaiyya's Lord, <br />For he made me like himself, O mother! <br />I went to fetch water from the lake, but my love wont let me, O mother!<br /><br />Narsinh Mehta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-went-to-fetch-water-from-the-lake/
