N N Kakkad (1927-1987)

[Famous works: Shalabha Geetham, 1963, Paathalathinte Muzhakkam, Vajra Kundalam...]


In the new poetic journey,

Kakkad - the modernist,

Finding traditions in modernity,

Discovered India through his songs,

Running a new path in life,

Avoiding the regular ones.

All his poems and ideas,

Condensed like Ayurvedic medicine,

With a bitter taste.


The whole world sang-

His songs are in many forms.

With a pensive mind and,

With a strong backbone,

What bloomed was only wisdom.

The words of wisdom,

Revealed the revelations of Kakkad,

In the fruitful journey,

Every word has risen fruitful.
