HOME TURNING INTO HOUSE : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 HOME TURNING INTO HOUSE 

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

Brick, stones, mortar

Create lovely house,

Love, sacrifice, hard work, patience

Convert house into unique home.

Constructing house is not a cake-walk

Transforming house into home is

More difficult than that,

While strolling, viewed grand buildings

Many palatial houses

Surpassing other in grandeur

But came across, very few homes,

Resources for constructing house enhanced

Virtues that turned house into home 

Are diminishing.

Lest this happens 

Visible all -around are huge houses

Lifeless-deserted-devitalized

Devoid of affectionate ambience

Houses seem like night-shelter

Without fragrance of affinity

Neither yours, nor mine

Houses seem like inhabitation.

To give them appearance of home

O, Mind! Put some efforts

So that houses don't remain sheer houses

And don't vanish all homes

Smeared with love.
