I AM A TREE: RAJASTHANI POEM BY KRISHNA ACHARYA: ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA




 I AM A TREE

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

I not only view

But apprehend as well

That about me

Innumerable verses 

Can be composed


I am tree who has stuck 

To the affection-brimmed bosom of earth

Sipping nectar from it

I have entrusted my whole life

To creatures and cattle dwelling in it

For livelihood and for survival


Holding upright 

My branches and foliage

I invoke God for strength 

To provide shade to travellers 

With my greenery

I turn into a resting place 

Along with my own family

I get access to family of human-beings

Even across sky.
