CONVERSATION : MY ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF NEPALI POEM BY BIIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI

 CONVERSATION

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

Rose said to thorns

It was my mistake to be a flower

Listening to flower, thorns ,too, said

We could not protect you

Bank says to river

After seeing you, I don't feel thirsty

Water says to bank

My thirst has enhanced, after seeing you.

Bird while flying in sky

Says to wind-- I am also flying

Wind stopped blowing for a few moments

Flying bird fell to the ground!

Sky says to the earth

Come, you, too, become sky

The earth says to sky

Come, you become the earth

Vacuum interrupted---cautioned them 

Water said to tears

How regretful are those who drink tears

How joyous are those who drink water

'Liquid' interrupted 

Water is not as pure as tears

Listening to this conversation

Petals of rose welcomed 

Falling on ground

Thorns, too, forgot their thorny pride.
