THE EARTH IMPARTS STRENGTH : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
THE EARTH IMPARTS STRENGTH
***********************************
How does the Earth
Silently bear
Sharp pointed roots of
Trees, plants
Might be pricking her
Sinking downwards
Pointed claws of
Creatures
Scratching her for sake of
Creating their burrows in it
For laying foundation of house
Dig her
How much pain
She might be bearing
When vehicles and we run on her
Sleep might be disturbed at night
Still she is too shy to express it
How does this sweet earth
Keep on smiling
Which divine
Miraculous power
Bestows her with this strength,
O, that, we could attain such power
And gain satiety
Remain blessed
Like this earth.
