A Hunter Saw <br /> <br />A hunter hunting nearby, <br />Heard Dhamayanthi’s cry. <br />He rushed to the spot <br />And saw her plight. <br /> <br />In fear she cried <br /> <br />“Oh you’re great! <br />I’m now caught <br />In python’s mouth, <br />And am close to death.” <br /> <br />“I’m under your shelter. <br />Save me from this danger. <br />My life is in your hand. <br />And under your command.” <br /> <br />The Hunter rescued her <br /> <br />Just like Chandran Swarki <br />Saved many from Kali, <br />The hunter pulled her <br />And from python saved her. <br /> <br />Is there any reward? <br /> <br />She thanked and said, <br />“My life, you’ve saved. <br />Is there any reward <br />For the help of this kind? ” <br /> <br />Come with me <br /> <br />He fell for her beauty, <br />And called her, “Oh pretty, <br />With me, you can come.” <br />She had what a bad time. <br /> <br />Ran away with fear <br /> <br />Seeing his bad intention, <br />Away she tried to run. <br />On the way, her tears <br />Flowed like rivers. <br /> <br />Her long hairs got stuck up, <br />In bushes, when running up, <br />Like falling from frying pan <br />To fire, she felt and ran. <br /> <br />He was burnt into ash <br /> <br />Like a running deer, <br />Before a chasing tiger, <br />She ran, but became tired <br />And at some stage, stopped. <br /> <br />She saw the hunter <br />With all her anger, <br />And he was then burnt <br />Into ashes that moment. <br /> <br />Regret for bad days <br /> <br />The desert was full of heat. <br />In a shady corner, she sat <br />Thought of her husband <br />Who pushed her to this end. <br /> <br />She thought of her old days <br />When, in many ways, <br />Happy and gay she was, <br />But now fell in distress.<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nalan-2-12-hunter-was-burnt/
