Lalleshwari

1320 – 1392 / Pandrethan, Srinagar, Kashmir / India

A Royal Fly-Whisk

A royal fly-whisk, sunshade,
chariot and throne,
Merry revels,
pleasures of the theater,
a bed of cotton down-
Which of these, you think,
will go with you when you are dead ?
How then can you dispel the fear of death ?
