FIRE AND MOUNTAIN : MY ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF NEPALI POEM BY BIIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI

FIRE AND MOUNTAIN

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

Why does mountain not bend

Mountain bends

When it bends

Shatters/Scatters

Mountain! Does not remain mountain

That is why, mountain never bends

A single stick of match-box

Is never ready to become 

Flame of  fierce fire 

For spreading terror

But holding revolt with fingers

Turn minor ammo of match-stick

Into fiery flames

Transform it

That minor ammo and match-stick

Are not aware 

For what purpose 

They have been prepared

And such a huge consequence 

Will be attained through them

They will be turned into incredible fire

And an irreparable loss will follow

 Unaware/ Absolutely unaware are these match-sticks

Who holding gunpowder on their heads

Are silently lying inside match-boxes

That is why

Mountain is scared of

Fire

And, fire is in hold of someone  else

Now, these peaks of mountain

Will bend or not

Don't ask me

Even high peaks of mountains will bend

But, when they will bend

Won't remain  peaks

That is why, these don't bend

They have no inclination to bend

Just as after extinguishing

Fire, does not remain fire.
