WHO KNOWS : ENGLISH VERSION OF RAJASTHANI POEM OF SUNDAR PARAKH: TRANSLATOR: RAJNI CHHABRA
Who Knows?
***********
Tied to thread
Flying high and high
Touching further heights
She mingled with clouds
Cared to see the earth?
Thread got cut
Tomorrow is never
Same as today.
It hung on
Pond of water
Then moved to
Branch of Banyan tree
Neither up, nor down
Stuck midway
Who knows?
One has to bear
Results of own deeds.
