There is no dearth of love poems in Sanskrit Language. In fact, thousands of verses can be cited for each and every mood of the lover. From the hundreds of poems I have collected, given below are three poems that are beautiful and moving. The poems make everybody happy. Lover is addressing a Bee!
-------------------------------
It is not the water lily, but her eye;
No lotus but her face;
And this is no bandhuka blossom
but her lip which bears the flowers selfsame pink
I too did err at first, Oh Bee;
How much the more should you
But give over your effort. Leave them, leave;
You work in vain
This beautiful poem has been written by Rajasekhara, (English
translation by Daniel H.H.Ingalls)
Admiring the beauty of the girl the lover is addressing the bee and
confesses that he too committed a mistake by thinking her lip as the
beautiful flower. Eye is like water lily, the face is like lotus and
the lip is like band huka!
The botanical name of the flower bandhuka is Pentapetes phoenica. It
blossoms in the afternoon and falls in the next morning. From its color
it serves as a simile for rising sun, red jewels, but especially for
the girls lip.
A thirsty lover
--------------------
My eyes with difficulty pass her thighs,
To wander long in the land about her hips,
Then at her waist, uneven with the triple fold
Become quite powerless to move,
But now at last, like travelers parched by thirst
Theyve climbed the mountains of her breasts
And see at last what they had hoped,
Their counterparts, her eyes, that flow with tears.
This verse was written by the great king Harsha Deva..
(English translation by Daniel H H Ingalls)
The youths eye is wandering through the various landscape of his
beloved -hips,
waist, breasts, then moves above and at last met the counterparts,
eyes.
The eyes are tearful.
I n the Pleasure house two became one
-------------------------------------
In the pleasure house, there is the young girl with her frame slightly
stooping due to the weight of the bosom, and there is the lord of her
life, husband, united with youth;
these two mutually embracing warmly have entered into the body of each
other and are thus concealed and to no one is their separate identity
clearly discernible.
This is one of the songs collected by Harikavi (English translation by A A
Ramanathan)
In the pleasure house two became one; and that is the ultimate end one
wants in the sports of love game.
One can reach thousands of Sanskrit love poems that are readily
available in English to elevate the knowledge to new heights.
