CLAMOR : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ : ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
CLAMOR
*********
Clamor all-around
Internal and external,
Clamor and clamor
Prevailing all-around.
Noise of vehicles and factories
Noise of people conversing,
Even forests ae not untouched
By this noise
Beetle, peacock, hawk-cuckoo
Nightingale sings, thrush bird cuckoos
Lions and elephants roar
Gurgling of streams is melodious, but
Clamor is clamor
Internal and external.
Internal noise is caused by
Overflowing thoughts
Uncountable fancies
Dwelling in mind every moment
Worries and doubts about
Past, future and present
Vociferance of
Hundreds of desires
Scrouge to turn into reality
Giggle on accomplishment
Breaths form waves,
Breaths jingle,
Don't remain calm
Even for a moment
Clamor and clamor
Prevails everywhere.
Let internal clamor
Remain inside
Let external clamor
Hang outside
Ignoring both
Close your eyes
Whenever
Arises from soul
Surging
Sound of *Anhad
It echoes in apertures
Dissolving Nectar
Sweet sound
Moves in ears
No clamor
Internal or external.
*Anhad : the sound of the cosmos and of human consciousness, an ultimate sound that transcends space and time, a sound that has no beginning or end.
