ON THIS ROAD: MY ENGLISH TRANSVERSION OF NEPALI POEM BY BIIRBHADRA KARKIDHOLI
ON THIS ROAD
****************
I treaded on this road
In darkness
In light as well
I treaded in rain
And in storm aw well
On this road
I resumed walking
Even after falling several times
On this road
I came across
Hatred as well as love
Met vicious persons/ met God as well
I came across sufferings
I fetched comfort as well
On this road, serpent, too, bit me
For no fault of mine/ purposelessly
I was always scared of him
I never had capability of crushing him
But that serpent, till date
Has not returned
To collect his venom
It is still with me
On this very road
I came across frogs
Snakes and eagles
On this road, I came across
Light as well as darkness
On this road
I have lost life
I have met life
This road has
Evolved while I moved on it
This road has got damaged, too
While I moved on it.
