A translated poem from Antara
My favourite poem from ANTARA, A Hindi Poetry Book by Dr Sanjeev Kumar, translated by me into English with permission of the poet. A vibgyor resides in my eyes Your hope thrives in my breath My arms hold dreamy days Your aspiration betrays me. Won't let you part with me Once I meet you. You are captivated In my verses How will ever forget? Sojourn my breath Shed fragrance day and night I got you Got everything in life This is my boon.. You inhabit my heart My life is fragrant. You radiate in my eyes You are my diamond. We will enjoy bliss of A cheerful life always If you are with me. Let us move together Holding hand in hand. RAJNI CHHABRA
