EARTHEN LAMP AND WICK: A RAJASTHANI POEM BY ANKITA KAGADANSH: ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 EARTHEN LAMP AND WICK

****************************

If son is

Earthen-lamp of home

Daughter is wick

Treat both as equal.

Then only

Home flourishes 

And gains prosperity


Earthen lamp alone

Imparts light to home

Why masses have this notion

Without wick

Has anybody seen 

The earthen -lamp

Diffusing light.


We will have to apprehend

Significance of lamp and wick

Along with earthen-lamp

Significance of wick

Has to be acknowledged.
