TRUE WORDS: A RAJASTHANI POEM BY ASHA SHARMA: ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
TRUE WORDS
**************
Rivers that mingle into sea
They remain full of waves
Rivers that mingle with worthless destination
They will get thorns only
Without striving with waves
Can lap be full of pearls?
Without struggling with thorns
Can favourite destination be attained?
Without getting scared of pitch-dark nights
O, human! Keep pacing forward in dark nights
In dense layer of light
You are sure to get one or two stars
Even if your path is stony
Don't be scared , O, human!
Keep moving ahead.
Embrace this uneven land, with open arms
You might be confronted with pointed pebbles
But don't get disheartened
You will be bestowed with precious stones
From lap of earth.
