म सम्झिन्छु संसारको रीत
भनभनाउंदो भंवरो देख्दा
चुसिएका फूल छोड्दै
रसिलामा यसले नङ्ग्रा गाड्दा
सोझो भनी बुझ्दा, गोरु हो कि घोडा
छाम्दा नरम भेटिएमा
खुंद्छन् बनाई माटाका डल्ला
चोखो र अपतित, ऊ त भयो नीच
यस्तै छ संसारभर
आजको नयां रीत

Mukhako Teeto
About these bitter bites
These come from a bit spiced up and extended translation of a rare Sanskrit poem I discovered in Nepal Archives in a palm-leaf manuscript dated in the 14th century CE. I guess that the poem was composed around the 11th century CE, probably in Nepal.
It is strikingly modern in its content, and reading it, one feels as if it is talking about presentday Nepal, or some society in a similar situation. So, I decided to render it in Nepali. Its Sanskrit original with an English translation will soon appear in JNRC 13.
For the time being, read these and feel bitter!
