CLOUDLET OF REVERIES : A RAJASTHANI POEM BY NIRMALA RATHORE : ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
CLOUDLET OF REVERIES
************************
Whenever cloudlet of reveries
Rises again and again
My eyes shed tears
With that flow
Ocean of my heart is filled
And in water of that ocean
My heart swings
Even afterwards
When does this
Reveries smeared cloudlet
Dispel
Ultimately
Raining continually
Drenches my *kasumbal Chir
Keeps me tossing in bed whole might
But
Immigrant does not come back home
Just, cloudlet smeared with reveries
Comes again and again
Who can convince
This anguished heart
We can interpret a letter
But, neither can heart be interpreted
Nor this cloudlet of reveries
Exhausts.
