My little girl lives far away from me
she is so sweet and graceful in her moves
learns dance with such a tremendous glee 
primarily her steps being a standing proof
"thai, thakka, thai thakka"
she says with a rhythm
her foot goes along with the" jathi"
sings she the divine hymns melodiously
expresses the theme with a "sruthi"
her eyes express the "bhavas" so beautifully
I stood enticed by her graceful movements
watching her from a reliable distance
cautious of not being found by her at any moment
as I heard from my son not with a defiance
she being a six year old so tender and sweet
wishes not to dance before me for reasons best known
keeping her in my lap I coaxed her with a greet
carefully asked her why she did not want to dance?
said she politely all the more and all very pleasant
granny, you mastered dance long long ago
I wish to perfect myself and would dance decent
saying so she quit the place not as any other time
just a march or a straight walk as usual
glided nimbly with "thaia thakka" "thakkitta "
proposing a captivating dance all so casual
