Poetry:
Mahesh Paudyal
Eclipse
Anonymous children
Built the Pashupatinath Temple on a river bank
Built the Jame Masjid
Constructed the Ram Temple
Erected the Babari Masjid
And concealed them with leafy twigs.
Before a pundit or a mulavi had set his foot there
The serene civilization of the children
Flourished unimpeded.
Long after
The children either became pundits
Or became maulavis.
Translation: Poet Himself
