Meghaduta

'Asalaamalaikum, kind Cloud Sahib!
            I, victim of an unkind sentence,
am missing my frisky girl these nine months,
            and wish to get a message to her
in Alakanagari where she lies sleepless
            on a bed drenched in moonbeams
reflected from the sickle brow of
            Shiva meditating in the wilderness.'

slightly clumsy translation, no? By the way, who do you recommend for good translations of Sanskrit poetry, or good anthologies?
That wasn't any translation, gypsynan. It's Alex's own poem. This post by Sunil might lead to you to some good translations/anthologies.
