FISTFUL OF HOPE: HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ : ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 FISTFUL OF HOPE

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

Crazy hope

Moved in quest of

A fistful of light.

Diving in it.

Depurate

That gets dusty

Often due to pollution,

Diffused all around

Inside and outside

In all four directions

In diverse ways

And why---

All are aware of it

Then, why to repeat

Just ponder over

How to remove 

Its havoc

That is mingling in breath

Like slow poison

Assuming form of diverse frustrations

Stretches in mind

In each and every street

In each and every city

Every *Prahar 

It is getting very difficult 

To breathe and live perfectly

Under such circumstances

Observing effort of

Passionate hope

Why to make fun of her,

Indulged in quest of light

Diffusing it on all

Embellishing herself

She is all set to view

Graceful -beautiful

Inside and outside

Pure and chaste

Pray that efforts are successful

Crazy hope, attaining light

Remain cheerful always

Crazy hope seeks

Fistful of light

Fist remains full of it

Never gets empty.

Hope of all are cherished

All remain joyous

For satiety and happiness

Suffices

Fistful of hope!


* prahar : In Hindu calculation of time, a day is divided into 8 broader divisions of three hours each, called Prahar.
