YOURS AND MINE WORLD : MY ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF NEPALI POEM BY BIIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI
YOURS AND MINE WORLD
I have no desire for palaces
House! Only one home
I have no desire for hails
Drops! Only dew drops are
Enough for me.
Seeing your riches
I used to think that your are wealthy!
Enfolding ego and pride
You are rich by causing pain to others
I am poor! In me persists
Only and only love
I can still accommodate in me
Traditions, intimacy and apathy
O, rich man!
Just try to locate in you
Any such space?
Your and mine world is not same
You don't have any sympathy
For my destitute
Orchid of richness
That I have in me
You don't possess
And seasons that I own
You don't have any of those
Along with few blossoms of my orchid
I need some thorns too
But not poisonous one
I need pointed thorns to protect my orchid
Because, I am in awe of silent owls!
