भनिन्छ, "दबाऊ निजी स्वभाव"
अनि पारिन्छ बाध्य मानिसलाई
बन्न मूर्खको पिछलग्गु
तर देऊ जवाफ,
जब दब्छ उसको निजी स्वभाव
कसरी उब्जिन्छ सफा विचार?
निरर्थक हुन्छ सज्जनको सेवा
सयौं यन्त्रणा सही गरेको
जब ठड्याउँछ मूर्खले पहरा
खटाउँछ हतियारबन्द जासूस
तर्दै कर्के आँखा,
निगरानी राख्न उसमाथि

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!
