Hearts like full moons, glowing in the night
Rama and Sita, homeward bound in sight
Mithila fades, a memory in their eyes
Ayodhya beckons, beneath veiled skies
Unease stirs, a flicker of doubt's cold flame
A raven's croak, a whisper of a dreaded name
Parasurama, the storm cloud descends
Rama stands firm, a mountain that never bends
Coronation news, a joyous decree
Ayodhya's jubilant cries, echoing free
But a serpent lies waiting, for a chance to be free
रामरामविवादं च गुणान्दाशरथेस्तथा
तथाऽभिषेकं रामस्य कैकेय्या दुष्टभावताम्
विघातं चाभिषेकस्य राघवस्य विवासनम्
राज्ञश्शोकविलापं च परलोकस्य चाश्रयम्
Treachery unfurls, a poisonous vine
Kaikeyi's words, like serpents, slither and hiss, entwine
The throne denied, a kingdom in shock
Rama takes his leave, with a heart on the rock
The forest's embrace, a harsh, emerald shroud
Sita stands beside him, defiance in her eyes, so proud
Lakshmana's hand on his shoulder, a silent vow
Leaving Ayodhya behind, with fate somehow
रामरामविवादं च गुणान्दाशरथेस्तथा
तथाऽभिषेकं रामस्य कैकेय्या दुष्टभावताम्
विघातं चाभिषेकस्य राघवस्य विवासनम्
राज्ञश्शोकविलापं च परलोकस्य चाश्रयम्
A heavy silence descends, thick and suffocating
Dasaratha's sobs echo, a king suffocating
Choices made in passion's fiery haze, twist the threads of fate
Love's embers flicker, then fade to ash, a cruel twist of fate
रामरामविवादं च गुणान्दाशरथेस्तथा
तथाऽभिषेकं रामस्य कैकेय्या दुष्टभावताम्
विघातं चाभिषेकस्य राघवस्य विवासनम्
राज्ञश्शोकविलापं च परलोकस्य चाश्रयम्
