BEWARE NEIGHBOUR! : MY ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF NEPALI POEM BY BIIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI

 BEWARE NEIGHBOUR!

I want to move away

From this city

From this hustle-bustle

From this expensive rented room

I will return to my village! My home!

Pollution diffuses/ Smoke rises from chimney

Drains in these streets stink

How noisy? How much busy?

Vehicles and people living here

Long for buying relaxation from relaxed people.

And my petty village! How peaceful is this!

Vehicles are not noisy here

But, birds chirp throughout the day

And, Nightingale too, at night

Oh! How arrogant is this city

It declares my village as backward

Considers it as backward!

I want to move back to my village

O, neighbour!

You become happy planting plastic flowers

I intend to move back to my village

Your decorate your room with this vase

On the edges of my fields are blooming

Marigold, chrysanthemum and velvety flowers

Just see! How proud he is feeling

Garlanded with purchased flowers

Oops! What sort of felicitation is this

With bouquets in palatial homes

My village abounds in countless flowers

These are not clouds

That are visible to me

These are smoke plumes

Dwellers here deem them as clouds


I will return home

But, before moving

I will make an oil painting 

Depicting preoccupation/ hustle-bustle

Artificial hospitality, plight of honesty

Scenes of processions and curfews 

Threats to dumb people

And will sell it to these nobles of city

At a very nominal price

And move back to my village


Oops! Decorating bedroom walls

With color photographs of own future

What might be thinking 

Ladies of these good persons?


I  have deciphered a lot

Countenances and hearts

Ascending quite high

I have descended from these stairs

So, now, I will make several posters of

Faces of present time and cartoons

Men, their desires and future

After making posters, same night

I will paste them on walls of this city

And run away

I will disappear, really

I will reach back to my village

I am warning you 

O, neighbour! Don't create noise

I  am leaving this 'Stove' and bucket for you

I am cautioning you! Don't tell anybody that

I pasted these posters! Beware!

VINCENT VAN GOG  AUTHOR SPEAKS: KAVI ANURAG ******************************** IN CONTEXT OF THE POETRY BOOK  'BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH' ' (RECOLLECTING OBLIETRATED') ******************************************************************************** The world is rich with many great artists who are remembered for providing new heights to art, on dint of their original, distinct skills. But Vincent Van Gogh holds a distinct status. He is remembered as much for his contribution to Painting as for his sacrifice and dedication towards Art. In spite of sufferings, agony and failures on every step pf life, he was always associated with colors and canvas, even during his lunacy. Not even for a single moment, he nurtured any doubt for Art. His craze for art provides energy and vigour to the artists even in present times. This attribute makes him distinct from other artists and this is a testimony to his dedication that he lost everything, even life in the end-- but did not leave colo...
