SON CHIRRAIYA: HINDI POEM BY SHAKUNTALA SHARMA ENGLISH VERSION : RAJNI CHHABRA
GOLDEN SPARROW
She is asleep
Whether knowingly
Or unknowingly
She is asleep
At abode of father
Learning lessons of obedience
She is asleep
At abode of husband
Personification of adornment
She is asleep
Patting infants, lulling to sleep, awaking
Persuading them
She is asleep
Accomplishing all worldly liabilities
Bringing light to home
She is asleep
She is a wonder
She awakes everyone
"And"
She is asleep
We are putting efforts
Since last four centuries
To awake her
But, she is asleep
Tied to stakes of
Religion, ideals, rule, policies
Modesty and love
She is asleep
She lits earthen lamp
In evening
In morning
She offers water to the Sun
Waters Tulsi
Observes fast of Karwa-Chouth
Opening entrance of courtyard
She is asleep
When will she awaken
O,That!.....
" She is asleep".
