GHARNEE: Hindi poem by Anju Dua Gemini : English Transversion by Rajni Chhabra

 HOUSEWIFE

*************

This house has appearance always

Like that of deep ocean, enfolding pearls

Birds twitter here throughout the day

In dusk hours, comes to stand-still,

Roof is solid, firm walls 

Deaf and dumb patience is standing firmly

Housewife sings and cooks

Flowers bloom and desert sheds fragrance!
