Hamara Nazaria: Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra
OUR VIEWPOINT
*****************
What sort of persons are we?
What sort of persons are all of us?
We fail to peep into
Inner cores of heart of
Our little daughter
Indulged in self -playing
Hopping, jumping
She is growing
And we keep on observing her curves
And she....
She has folded her fist tightly
Holding light in her fist
We fail to observe
Heights of her mind
We view her only as a girl
How uneducated, how unsuccessful she is!
From light coming through
Creaks of closed doors
She silently
Slides out
And measures the whole sky
She unmasks our
Narrow thinking.
