Black can be hidden by white



You’ll have no regret that you are huge
If you learn to walk with grace
As does an elephant with its thighs.

You’ll have no regret that you are flat on chest
If you learn to dart like a rabbit,
Which charms by its move, chest unseen.

You’ll have no regret that you are dark
If you chat in singing voice
Of a Koel, whose hue drops before us.

You’ll have no regret that you are dull
If you are industrious,
Like an ass, who toils are limitless.

If the portrait is good,
the frame from sight is shed.
