Isn't 'hirave hirave gaar gaaliche' just one line in the poem 'shraavan maasi
harsh maanasi'? ( I might be wrong) But I think a part of the poem goes like this:

Shraavan maasi harsha maanasee
Hirawal daate chohikade,
Kshanaat yete sarsar shirave
Kshanaat phirunee oon pade

Hirawe hirawe gaar gaaliche
Harit trunanchya makhamaaliche
etc.

Balkavinchya itar kahi kavitaa: Aanandi aanand gade jikade tikade chohikade
Maaze gaane ekach maaze nityaache gaane

NO. Not at all. It is the starting line of Phulrani.

: Hirawal daate chohikade,

Tya sundar makhmalivarati phulrani hi khelat hoti
and so on. I have a book that contains this poem, but my Net Devanagari
writing skills are negligible. I can fax/mail it to anyone who
is interested in posting it on the net.

No. They are different. Shravan masi describes the shravan and
the latter describes fulrani's wedding.

The latter is the poem "Sharava mahima"

This is Baalakavi's famous "phularaaNi" poem. I knew it by heart,
but now have forgotten most of it. It is rather long.

It goes something like this:

Hirawe hirawe gaar gaaliche harita trunanachya makhamaaliche
tya sundara makhamaalee varatee phularaaNi tee keLata hotee

goda niLyaa watawaraNat avyaaz mane hoti kheLata
praNaya chanchalaa tya bhruleela avagat navhtya kumarikela

Aaeechya maaNdivar basuni zoke ghyave gaavi gaaNi
yhahooni thave kaya tiyela saadhya bhoLya fularaneela

pura vinodee sandyavat dola dolavi hirave shet
tocha ekada naachata aala chumboona mhane phularaNila

chaani mazhee chonukalee kuNakade ga paahata hoti
koNa bare yha sandhyetun haLooch paahate dokaavun

to ravikar ka gojuravaaNa aavadala amuchya raaNila
laajalaajalee yha vachananee saadhi bhole ti fularaaNi

aandolee sandhyechya basunee zhoke zhoke ghete rajanee
tya rajanee la netra vilola nabhee chamakati te grahagola

jaaduTona tyanee kela chaina padenaa fularaaNila
nizalee shete nizale raana nizalee praNi thor lahaan

ajun jaagi ti fulraaNi aaj kashee taLyavara naahi
laagena doLyashee doLa saadhya boLya fularaaNila

yha kunja tun tya kunja tun ivalya ivalya divatya laavuna
madhayaraatrichya nivaanta samayee kheLa kheLate vanadevi ti

tya devila ovya sundara nirzara gaato tya taalavara
zhuluna raahile sagaLe raana swapna sangamee danga ho-oona

...........

well, thats all I can remember.. It is a beautiful poem simultaneously
describing the passage of the day and night as well as the love story of
a flower..

While on the topic of Baalakavi's poems, I don't see the following
poem getting much acclaim

garda sabhoti raan saajaNe too tara chafekaLee
kay haravale saanga shodhishi yha yamunechya jaaLe

....
it is again a very beautiful poem. Had Baalakavi become repetitive
by the time he wrote this poem?
One of my favourites is the small poem
that doesn't have a real name. It completely captures the spirit of
adventure and inquisitiveness, as also the love of nature innate in a
trekker..

te dongara sundara doora doorache baaee
paahena gade tya hirvya hirvya raaee

tya vimaLa jaaLa saha valaNe valaNe ghet
hindena zharyanchya sheetala kunjavanaat

daraDeevar basalya chadhuna chimNya velee
pari haaya fulanchee paazara paya khalee

uchaloona uraashe dhareena chumbuna tyante
goomfena phulaanche maaLa me nija haate

kuraNatahe karitee bahiNi saata
me baghena bhandaNa kasale chaale tyat

Read the first two lines, and imagine that you are walking
throught the Rockies! (Ofcourse, nothing beats trekking in the western
ghats especially during monsoons.., but that is only a dream now, atleast
for the next two years :( )

'Hirave hirave gal gaiche' is the line from the poem 'PhularaNee'. I do
not remember all the lines, I can vaguely recall following few lines from the
first stanza.

Hirave hirave gal galiche
Harita trUNanchya makhmalice
Tya sundar makhmalivartee
PhularaNee tee kheLata hotee

For further lines you may contact Pradeep (504) 766-6336

By the way I can not avoid the temptation to recite another poem by
again Balakavee.

Kothuun yete mala kaLena
Udaseenta hee rhUdayala

Yethe nahee tethe nahee
Kaya pahije miLavayala

KuNeekade ha zukato vara
Haka maree jeeva kuNala

Mukya manache muke bola he
Ghare padati rhUdayachya rhUdayala

This takes me back in my college days when we studied 'Balkavinchya Kavita. This is a beautiful long poem. We were told that Balkavi Thombare was so inspired that he wrote this deeghakavya just like we talk and took it Shrimati Laxmibai Tilak and sang for her. This is mentioned in her book 'Laximibainchi Smrutichitrey'.
He was their family friend. Pushpa Joshi
