GIRLS GOING TO SCHOOL
GIRLS GOING TO SCHOOL Weight of wingy dreams Is always light. O! Girls Your school bags are So heavy But you always Find it light Right from the moment of Moving to school Till reaching school Instructions of your mother Are carried on your shoulders Due to that burden You never raised your eyes Moving back from School to home Sticks to your shoulders Disapprobation of your teacher She keeps on curtailing your moves Each and every moment Your enthusiasm to Do something outstanding God knows, where has it disoriented Between school and home. A Rajasthani poem of literary icon Arjun Dev Charan Translated into English by Rajni Chhabra
