Bhitar :Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra
INTERNALLY
*************
When a human is
Distant from himself
Maintains relation with others
Hither-thither
Keeps on visiting
Meets others
Introduces others mutually
For sake of courtesy
Indulges in entertaining guests
But
On grounds of 'self '
Is immensely sad
When a person is distant from himself
By the way
To be distant from oneself
Seems strange
Indulging in self only is
Also shameful
Not to be within oneself
This is awkward
But
To meet with oneself
To peep into oneself
This is ....victory
This is....victory
