Wind - Part 9
Come hither wind, Come slowly. Do not break down the doors in the windows. Do not throw take and throw away the papers. Do not push down the books in the Almira. Did you see this? Here, you pushed them down. You torn away the pages of the book. You brought back the rains. You are so good in taunting the weak. Dilapidated House, Dilapidated Door, Dilapidated Roof, Dilapidated Tree, Dilapidated Body, Dilapidated Soul, Dilapidated Heart -- These are broke down to pieces by the Lord of Wind. He does not listen, even when told. Hence, Gather around Humans. Let us build stronger houses. Let us strengthen the doors. Let us train our bodies to stay robust. Let us make our body resilient. Let us toughen the our hearts. If we do this way, the Wind will become our friend. The Wind blows away the weak flame (of fire); (But) Augments the strong flame (of fire). His friendship is good. We hail his praise everyday.
