Ma! The dark cobra with pearl, my Kanha has stung my being! <br />My life rolls away in waves, someone retrieve it for me please! <br />Don't give me medicines, Ma; don't summon the medicine man, <br />Deliver me to Govind, my charmer, in Gokul! <br />Ma! The dark cobra with pearl, my Kanha has stung my being! <br />My life rolls away in waves, someone retrieve it for me please! <br /> <br />The snakebite seems fatal, thought the charmer aloud, <br />It is well for Narsinh to attain his lord; the charmer removed the poison from the girl's body. <br />Ma! The dark cobra with pearl, my Kanha has stung my being! <br />My life rolls away in waves, someone retrieve it for me please!<br /><br />Narsinh Mehta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ma-the-dark-cobra-with-pearl/
