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

 COMMUNAL BATHHOUSE

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

Pleadings of a screaming girl 

Are ignored by society turned deaf

Indulged in celebrations

Absorbed in masculinity,


Nude in communal bathhouse

Creating rowdy noise

Are pulling *rakhis

Inside water!


* Rakhi: sacred thread tied by sister on wrist of brother, seeking protection.
