kavita: Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra

 POEM

*******

Crossing ....transcending

 Plenty of endeavours

And artificiality 

Crossing bumpy roads

Ornamenting  vacuous crowns of words 

And brain storming

In this modern hectic life 

Fetches smoothness in roughness

Poem illustrates in 

My heart

In your heart

Your happiness

My agony

Affinity of all

Peeps into heart

Crossing through window

Gathers all

Encircles all

And..

In crowded * choupal

In midst of road

Standing aloof

Waving her hand

Dancing in a trance 

Stretching her hands towards sky

Sipping nectar of satiety

All of us are reflected in her

Why are you dragging her towards tracks

Wherefrom, we never treaded 

Wherever we move

She has to remain there only

Standing 

Poem ...is

A  young popsy 

A pink frock

A dimple on cheek of my neighbour

A camel-cart of *Cheetar

Poem is playmate of

All of us

A lively colourful  pattern 

Of life.

Whatever dwells in 

Inner cores of heart

Weights it on scale of brain

Then she pleads something from there

And brings out what she had nurtured

All the process is pleasant

Nothing is dull

All this is 

Pleasure

Immense pleasure.



* Choupal: place for public gathering in village

*Cheetar: a name
