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!
