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.
