ANGUISH OF STAGNANCY : ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA. POEM ORIGINALLY COMPOSED IN NEPALI BY BIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI

 



ANGUISH OF STAGNANCY

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

It seemed to me that

I will flow perennially in life

Like speed/ like stream

Then, I realized that

Life is over since long

Becoming vacuum, turning useless

Turn after turn-with every step

 Don't even recall

On which turn of life

I had come across them

Parting and parting 

Persists in life

Pang of separation 

Waiting moment after moment

In these live moments


It seems, won't be able to reach sky

In a flight

Treading on these slopes and heights 

Reaching destination immediately

Won't be possible


Life is full of turn after turn

What sort of turn will be last turn

So much anguish and pathos dwells in me

Others, too, might be facing the same in plenty

I am tolerating so much

Seems to me

Plenty of other beings 

Might be facing same, as well


It seemed to me that

I will flow perennially in life

Like speed/ like stream

But anguish that I am facing

Resulting from inability to flow

How I might be flowing inwardly

Just try to muse over it

How I might be flowing inwardly!
