DIAMONDS AND PEARLS : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 DIAMONDS AND PEARLS

**************************

Thousands of  unique diamonds

So beautiful and bright

Who diffused,

O. Night! Disclose to me.

Did *kuber shower 

These transparent delicate pearls?

With advent of dawn, eyes witnessed 

O, Sun God! Halt a while

Send a fairy

Instructing her 

To make them real

With touch of her magical wand

I will hold plenty of these in fist

And scatter 

Over colony  of destitute 

Lethargic, disappointed eyes

Will brighten up like pearls

After that, you rise

O, Sun! And 

At time of sunset

Instruct night

To scatter continually

Beautiful diamonds and pearls.



*Kuber : God of wealth, in Hindu Mythology
