YOUR EYES: A RAJASTHANI POEM BY SANGHMITRA RATHORE: ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
YOUR EYES
*************
Your eyes
As if a casket of mysteries
Shimmering, like earthen-lamps of Diwali
Like stars twinkling in silvery moon-lit nights
Your eyes converse more than your lips
As if your eyes don't know how to remain silent
These are so expressive that they prevent
Your tongue from ushering
Your eyes keep on spying me
Won't let me hide any secret of mine
Unveils layers of my heart and
Disclose the entire story
Just as a child burst out
After making so many lame excuses
About how did his dress got shabby
How it caught dust
Your eyes are neither like a maze
Nor like a thicket, which deviates from path
Your eyes are like gist of this world
Devoid of disorientation, boundless peace prevails
Love floats in your eyes
Just as reflection of sky in flowing river
I view in your eyes
Almighty glancing at me smilingly.
