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

 RELATIONS

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

Relations 

Don't carry

Don't carry

Don't bear burden of

Their relatives

By and by

Relations become cumbersome

They don't greet 

Even on Holi-diwali

They keep their heart

Devoid of emotions

Then bonds of affinity 

Lose their luster

They ignore 

Turn away

In hours of 

Comfort or discomfort

Remain silent

Then relations 

Shed tears

Boat moves fast

Holding sail of relations

But, when someone very close

Causes hole in it

Relations sink.
