Love Knows No Distance : Upendra Bhanja (English Version : HKMeher)

Love Knows No Distance


Original Oriya Poem : Kavi-Samrāt Upendra Bhanja


(English Version by : Dr. Harekrishna Meher)


= = = = = = =


Dūre thile pāśe achhi thibu ehā gheni /


Kete dūre Chandra kete dūre Kumudinī //


Prīti abheda tāńkara /


Jete dūre thile je jāhāra se tāhāra //

“Even far, I’m thy very near,


This always keep in the heart, My Dear !


Moon and Lily both are


from each other, away very far.


Still flows all the while


their love ever-juvenile.


For a loving couple, see,


the distance may whatever be,


Hers is he


and his is she.”

(Taken from Upendra Bhanja’s Oriya Kavya ‘Prema-Sudhānidhi’ Chapter-XIV,
