ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF RAJASTHANI POEMS OF RITU PRIYA BY RAJNI CHHABRA
HOME
Today
I visited my old locality
I viewed over- there
My small house
Behind whose doors
I used to hide myself
So often
I kept on gazing at my house
Till very long
Reviving my past
God know how
Tears starting abruptly
Flowing my eyes
I thought
Someday, I will buy this house
And will hand over the key
To my father
This house was
Dream of my father
Which he sold out
For sake of fulfilling
My dreams.
2.
Departing from home
Sparrow moved on
For her new abode
She not only left behind
Her birth-place
Left behind were
Her parents
Siblings
Friends
And accumulating her
All memories
She moved on to fit herself
In frame of a new home
World
******
I am human -being
But who acclaims that
I am the best of all living-beings
At least, I never assert so
All the animals
Associated with this earth
Are familiar with language of love
But, this human species
Why dwells in
Own isolated world
OWN WORLD
***************
All play- ways of children
Singing-dancing of young girls
Endless conversation of elders
Have been gobbled now
By box of glass
And whatever chance was left
Has been overpowered by mobile
These days
Everybody is self occupied
Entire world
Dwells in its own world
