My hubby is a baby boy: Vidyapati's poem in English



My hubby is a baby boy
But , Oh I am a young woman
From which auspicious austerity I was befallen
O dear friend, I adorned self with an elegant Sari made up in South India.
But as I looked at  my sweet-heart
my body burnt
Taking hubby in lap I marched to market
People at hat enquired,
"O dear lady , what relation this kid have with you?"
Oh this kid is neither younger brother of my other significant nor my own younger brother
Lotted in destin   y he is my master partner
O dear passer-by ! Thou art my brother
Kindly deliver my message over my parental home
Request my father to buy milching-cow
To feed milk and nurture son-in- law
I neither possess money nor milk giving c
ow
How can I raise my son-in-law?, grumbled her father
Vidyapati says,O great lady of Braj
Thou must meet Murari,Have patience
