IDENTITY: HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
IDENTITY
**********
Whatsoever we are
Let us remain like that only,
Neither overestimate,
Nor underestimate
Us.
The Sun has his own dignity,
The Moon has his own grace,
If they exchange their attributes
Will lose their recognition.
Let them stick to their identity.
We don't need
Honour and dishonour,
Their entering and exiting
Do not influence us,
Only, we should aspire for
Self-respect
We don't want honour
Dishonour is not acceptable,
We don't want to match us
With anyone else
And, thereby lose
Self -recognition,
Don't deem it as arrogance
Whatsoever, we are
Let us remain like that only
Don't over-estimate
Don't underestimate
Us.
