Manav says to archana:

I have known to love you

since the time I had set my eyes on you.

The beauty of your heart pierced me to the extent

that my soul hurts without your presence near me.

An angel like you was not supposed to happen to a mortal like me.

I must be a very special child of god for him to make you for me.

Archana says to Manav:

I was a scared bird when i became yours.

you gave me wings and courage to sore in the heavens.

my heart is mine but my heart beats are yours.

My lungs are mine but the air is you.

I myself don't know how much more I can love you

coz my love for you is even more than the heavens can contain.

time is of the essence

waste not each other's presences

cut the Gordian Knot to pursue your passions 😉

Manav to Archana

satish jaywant nantar manav aala majhya nashibi

lagnat milala nahi aamhas khup sona aani chandi

MANAV FOR ARCHANA

How do I love ARCHU? Let me count the ways.
I love ARCHU to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love ARCHU to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love ARCHU freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love ARCHU with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love ARCHU with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love ARCHU with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

ARCHNA FOR MANAV

I have a heart & dat iz true,
But nw it haz gone frm meee 2 yu,
So care for it just like I do,
Becoz I have no heart & U have two.

ARCHNA AND MANAV

FOR EACH OTHER

these marathi ukhanes will match in rhymes but not that english ones...

Lovely topic Nikki!!

Thanks. And thanks to everyone for contributing as well. Beautiful job, and kudos to the spirit to try something new.👏

Tujha contribution kuthe ahe, Devu di???😃

Vatlelach tu vicharnar 😆I will contribute later, nakki.

Niki,

Since you were not able to return as promised, you must have been caught up in some urgent work. Will you (or anyone else) please explain a slight bafflement?

As I get it, in this playful tradition, the newly married are teased to speak each other's name in 'Ukhane'. Now Niki, 'Ukhana' in Gujarati means riddle (isn't it same in Marathi?). And I have read some good Gujarati Falk tales, where lovers were seen cleverly passing the cryptic messages-utilizing this clever format- to each other or to his/her friend declaring their love. But in a riddle, the poser is not supposed to give out the answer literally the way it is done in this wonderfully stress busting Maharashtrian tradition. How is it so? Or Ukhane is not same as 'Ukhana' that I related?
