Day And Night Are Ever Wedded
(Rhyme-a b a bb c b c a a)


He is all day, she is all night- matchless
Yet they got married to remain married
Their proven love has light and dark matchless
Yet she likes herself be with him carried
Now that nature's fate should not be varied
She glues to him begging for path of light
With a waning mercy he throws unfreed
Halfheart to her a bit of sheening light
A loony moon she gleams bright though matchless
Shamedsun he beams with dark hole though matchless
