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
