PARENTS ARE OUR GOD : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
PARENTS ARE OUR GOD
************************
Keep us awake at night,
Trouble us in day,
Have their own will
Shout, create noise, daylong
Bother us
Children,
More than old persons,
When we don't send them
To orphanage,
Why do we send aged persons
To old age home,
Forgetting their
Incomparable sacrifice and hard work
That they did
For nurturing us
Probably, beyond their means,
They neither had these much facilities
Nor modern appliances,
We might have bothered them
As much as these children,
Or even more
They might have sacrificed
Their sleep and comfort.
Lucky are those
Who dwell under
Umbrage of the parents.
Committing unpardonable sin
Of sending them to
Old age home
Why do we want to
Become orphan,
In their life-span.
What lessons are we imparting
To future generation.
This notion has reached to us
From western culture
Be aware, timely
O, new era! Mend your ways
And ameliorate conditions
In such a way that
Your country is glorified
On global scene
Raise slogan
Parents are our God!
Parents are our God!
Mata. Pita devta ke samaan ,yeh santan. Hindu dharam ki seekh hai. Kabhi bhi vyasak bachcho ko. Maa. Baap ka dil nhi dukhana chahiye.
