CHAMELEON : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
CHAMELEON
**************
In unbending body
Existence of reluctant heart
Is a surprise in itself
In joyous mood, flies lightly
Taking distant flights
Measuring azure
In each and every moment.
Heaves deep sighs
In moments of desperation,
As if confining fierce storm within.
Stuck with misery
Sinks in pond of desperation
Limitless ocean seems
A dwarf in front of him.
Aspirations stretch their wings
Flutters wings anxiously
Just like a bird confined in cage
Tries to seek freedom.
In annoyance, emits fire
As if volcanoes are erupting in inner cores.
Moves disoriented
Detached with all
Ignores.
If love overflows
Is not confined in earth
Like flowing wind
Mingles with all
In unbending body
Dwells chameleon-like heart
In itself, a surprise
This chameleon-like heart.
