PLEADING OF UNBORN DAUGHTER : A RAJASTHANI POEM BY SHARMILA SONI: ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 PLEADING OF UNBORN DAUGHTER

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

Ma! I am your unborn child

You are my real mother

On issue of boy or girl

Why this differentiation

 Ma! Don't get me assaulted 

With these sharp-pointed apparatus

Ma! I am scared of surgical tools


You got examined for son

But instead of son

Reports  revealed daughter

Wretchedness arose in your mind

For sake of killing me

You joined hands with killers

Ma! Don't get me killed 

With these pointed instruments 


My tiny -tiny fingers 

They will cut and 

Throw anywhere

This butcher will have own will

My heart trembles at the thought of

My limbs getting cut in pieces

Ma! Don't get me assaulted 

With these sharp-pointed apparatus

Ma! I am scared of surgical tools


But, you might have been helpless

This unbearable pain will exhaust you

How will you be separated from me

Your heart must be shuddered 

With blood-smeared newspapers

Ma! I am scared of these sharp-pointed apparatus

Don't get me killed with these surgical tools.
