[Kalpana Muzumdar]

काव्ये शुभे विरचिते खलु नो खलेभ्यः

कश्चिद् गुणो भवति यद्यपि सम्प्रतीह ।

कुर्यां तथापि सुजनार्थमिदं यतः किं

यूकाभयेन परिधानविमोक्षणम् स्यात् ॥

kāvye śubhe viracite khalu no khalebhyaḥ
kaścid guṇo bhavati yadyapi sampratīha |
kuryāṃ tathāpi sujanārthamidaṃ yataḥ kiṃ
yūkābhayena paridhānavimokṣaṇam syāt ||

A good poem, finely composed, will have no merit for the wicked ; none the less I now compose this poem, but it is for the good. Should one give up his (woollen) clothing for the fear of lice ?

Best Regards,
