Poetry:
Mahesh Paudyal
Birthplace
When the daughter had stepped
Onto the farther hilltop away from her father's home
She sang—
"The heartless fog screens
My parents' home from my eyes."
From his home, her old father shouts:
"Since when did my love
That engulfed the entire mountain
Start appearing so weak
To be barred by the puny fog?
Daughter, feel your own heartbeat
And come home, tracing its origin."
Translation: Poet Himself
