HOPE STILL PERSISTS : My English translation of Hindi Poem UMEED ABHI BAKI HAI by Dr. Kusum Dogra

 HOPE STILL PERSISTS 

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

Enchanting view of dusky evening

And flock of birds in sky

kindles a hope

That immigrants will come back to home

Who had departed in autumn

From threshold of their abode

Hope that was about to extinct by sunset

Enchanting view of dusky evening

Kindles a lamp of hope again

And flock of birds in sky

Diffuses light

In extinguishing flames

In uprising waves

In  dancing  anklet

Breaths that were sinking

Awakens in them desire for survival

Enchanting view of dusky evening

And flock of birds in sky

Replaces with satiety....

Desperation of a bride 

Jingling of bangles

*Gajra decorated with flowers

Because beloved who was in journey since morning

Has made up his mind to come back.


Gajra: flower garland that is worn by South Asian women during festive occasions, weddings, or as part of everyday traditional attire.

    Hopes are ropes to swing into future plans. Heart touching poem of soul felt expressions in prospect of return of immigrants to other nations to their native home country, composed in dusky evening environment with flocks of birds flying back to homes/ nests. The hopes arise and persist in next of kin in concerned home to unite with departed one.

VINCENT VAN GOG  AUTHOR SPEAKS: KAVI ANURAG ******************************** IN CONTEXT OF THE POETRY BOOK  'BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH' ' (RECOLLECTING OBLIETRATED') ******************************************************************************** The world is rich with many great artists who are remembered for providing new heights to art, on dint of their original, distinct skills. But Vincent Van Gogh holds a distinct status. He is remembered as much for his contribution to Painting as for his sacrifice and dedication towards Art. In spite of sufferings, agony and failures on every step pf life, he was always associated with colors and canvas, even during his lunacy. Not even for a single moment, he nurtured any doubt for Art. His craze for art provides energy and vigour to the artists even in present times. This attribute makes him distinct from other artists and this is a testimony to his dedication that he lost everything, even life in the end-- but did not leave colo...
