घाँसी by भानुभक्त आचार्य

भर् जन्म घाँस तिर मन् दिई धन कमायो नाम क्यै रहोस् पछि भनेर कुवा खनायो घाँसी दरिद्र घरको तर बुद्धि कस्तो म भानुभक्त धनी भैकन किन यस्तो मेरा ईनार न त सत्तल पाटिकै छन् जे धन चीजहरु छन् घर भित्रनै छन् त्यस घाँसीले कसरी आज दिए छ अर्ति धिक्कार हो म कन बस्नु न राखि किर्ति

Ghansi (literal translation of Bhanubhakta Acharya’s poem)

He earned money by giving his heart to grass throughout his life A well was dug to find out what the name should be What is the wisdom of a grassy poor house Why is it that I am a devotee and rich My wells are not even flat All the riches are inside the house How did that grass give life today? Woe betide me, I will not live nor keep fame
