A BAR-DANCER

I once approached a  bar-dancer,

Told her "let us chant the Bhagawat Geeta together,

Discuss the depth of friendship between Krishna and Arjuna

Become friends like them, walk on their traditions.

Dip at the Ganges, wander in the Brindaban

Perform meditation,

Realize divinity,

Practice sanctity".

Do you know what she replied?

How furiously she reacted?

"I am a youngster, a pursuer of pleasure,

I like the floating lights of the bar,

Flying colors of the pot-house

Intoxicated and dreamy eyes

The music of jingling anklets is so sweet there,

I like to see the overflowing liqueur

Love to dance with people all night,

Under the attractive neon light

Do not interfere in my life, my ways, you seducer.

Why should I wander with a monotonous creature?"

I went away annoyed,

Her mindset cannot be changed,

Actually, I was a stupid,

I expected divinity from an unprincipled.
