LABYRINTH OF MOMENTS: HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 LABYRINTH OF MOMENTS

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

Time is a labyrinth

We get entrapped in it

Fail to break it

Are all of us *Abhimanyu?

Keep on moving, performing deeds

Till me meet 

Our destined end

We live in ignorance

Sipping each and every drop of life

Deeming every drop as last

Toil hard

With full dedication

Rising above doubts

Derive from each and every moment

Gift of thousands of moments

Wasted so far

Get emancipated from debt

Live every moment of life

Boldly

Roam around merrily

With decency like Arjun

In the labyrinth of time

Decently

Keep on working hard

Till time sets us 

Free from labyrinth

Getting defeated from us

Himself.

Abhimanyu : a warrior described in  the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata, who after getting entrapped in Chakarvyuh ( Labyrinth) exhibited amazing bravery in the conflict.
