EVEN THEN Will you keep on loving me As before. When journey has confined itself In my feet. Mirror has declined To recollect my identity When a white thicket Has grown on my face. When Spring has broken Its ties with my bald branches. Will even then You will dream of Creating nest in my branches. When my name Written on the page of sky Has got erased. And,when wrinkles Have knocked at The threshold of my eyes And my wings have Ceased fluttering When words, Escaping my fingertips Have disappeared in Crowd of world. Will even then You will love me My love, my life. A Poem originally composed in Punjabi by Dr. Amarjit Kaunke and trans-created into English by me. (Extracted from my Poetry Book REVERIES) Rajni Chhabra.
