Mera Hal:Original Poem : Birbhadra Karkidholi English Version : Rajni Chhabra
MY STATUS
I could not remain safe
In my own place
I could not narrate
My anguish to myself
I could not dwell
At my own abode
My own faith could not
Persist with me
I could not visualize my own dreams
In my sleep
I could not live here
In way of my own
I could not hum
My own tune, my own lyrics
I could not reach the other end
Treading on my own bridge.
English Version: Rajni Chhabra

ReplyDeleteThe plight of having no control over one's existence is universal I feel and have shared the poets feelings a cry in ink is louder than the sound that echoes and fades
Great poem
George Kunnel
