HILLS CHANGING ATTIRE :HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ : ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
HILLS CHANGING ATTIRE
*************************
Hills turning pale
Imparted the impression ,
Autumn has arrived
Spontaneously
From cave of mind
Came out hopping
A bright hope-
Spring is about to follow soon
Started flying up and down
Kite of bubbly feelings
I, too, accompanied them
Viewed from height
Thousands of streams
Flowing melted
From snow-clad mountains
Pure streams of
Silvery water
On branches denuded by
Withering foliage
Tender buds blooming
That will bend
Laden with multi-colored flowers
Only, after a few days
Gloomy hills
Turning rosy pink
Will bloom merrily
Very soon
I have got clue
Of arrival of Spring
Just now, stealthily
Sneaking away,
I am peeping around
Whom to disclose
This breaking news
Spring is about to arrive
Pale, , bored, exhausted faces
Are visible
Facing blows of preoccupations
Withered, luster-less faces
Pressed under burden of books
Children of modern age
Proficient in knowledge of computer
Will they be able to understand
Meaning of Spring
Will they be able to feel
Hilarity of heart in Spring
Will they be able to fly kites.
O!
Loosen your of modernity
On generation of today
Lend them sometime
To view
Hills changing attire
To grasp
Meaning of Spring
To inculcate Spring
In themselves
So that its glory is reflected
On faces of all
And all are smeared
In impact of Spring.....
