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.
