DOUBT:HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
DOUBT
*******
You always have your way
Whenever you feel like
Whatsoever you wish
You jot down
Am I a poem?
Doing utmost efforts
So many times
I reached at door of Salvation
Kept waiting in queue of
Emancipation
Prior to entering
Throw me again
On paper of world
For diffusing and wandering
Beholding black and white landscape
You pick brush
Put colours in it
Am I a painting?
Observing me sitting still
You install battery in me
So that I start moving
Am I a toy?
You decorate a background
To amuse me and cheat me
Baffle me with
Enchanting scenes
Am I a character of movie?
Throwing nets of
Greed and illusion
Capture me in these
Am I your prey?
Entire day-night
You make me perform
So many tasks and
Exhaust me
Am I a machine?
What do you consider me
Just clarify this much
Remove my doubt
After that make me do
Whatever you wish.
Nice poem , because life itself is a question mark. Your poem made me introspect.
