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.
