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
