O Manikarnika Ghat,
Grasp me in your fire..save me from life's ire..
with the Ganga washing my feet, the end looks neat,
Shiva whispering in my ear, liberation seems so near..
With the evening sun in my eye, earth in my hand, water in my mouth,
with sky overlooking my cremation, I call you Agni and Vayu my friends,
come soon, let's meet for one final time, sit together and rhyme with
the Veda hymn,
It is a beautiful evening today in Kashi.
