If you wanna come to my town
You will cross a river.
The name of this river is Muhuri.
I bathed, swam and floated in it.
Everyday While I cross the river,
I stand by the railing of the bridge.
I watch the water flowing
Through the sandy winter bed.
I see the water.
But it was not the water
I saw forty years ago.
I see the river bed but
It was not the same bed
I saw during last flood.
But I see the river Muhuri
My love, my fondness
for the river is constant.
When I stand by the railing
Of the bridge I see a little boy
playing,bathing,and swimming
on the sunlit bed of the river Muhuri.
I stand here everyday
To see the same scene everyday.
If you ever cross this river
Please stand by the railing for a while
You shall watch What I have seen.
