RECTIFICATION : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA
RECTIFICATION
*****************
Scribbled something on slate
Found some error in it
Rubbed off immediately
Rectified it
Heart derived immense pleasure
We bloomed with satiety.
O, that!
Words originated from tongue,
Invective words
Unpleasant conversation,
Inhumane behaviour
Impact of natural calamity
All bitter experiences,
Could be like words
Scribbled on slate
Or like words
Typed on computer screen.
Could be modified
Without hurting
Scope remained
For rectification
On pages of life
Wiping with repentance
From pen of body
Putting ink of good-will
Continually, by and by
Would diffuse cozy
Pearl-like enchanting
Gracious feelings of affection
That would suffice to build
Bridge between relations
In the entire world,
O, that!
Our expressions could be
Like words
Scribbled on slate
Or typed on computer screen
That could be prettified, rectified,
Spread all-around
Light
Sweetness
Peace
Joy and bliss.
