CREATION: My English transversion of Rajasthani Poem of Poet Jitendra Kumar Soni
CREATION
***********
Jotting down a thought
On a piece of paper
Is just as if a child is born
Just as a child
Getting attached to umbilical-chord
Develops in womb
Exactly like that
Getting attached, a thought
Flourishes and matures
In brain
Thoughts commove us
Like labour-pains
Inner- cores of heart of poet
Generate pragmatic words
Chains of words are linked together
On piece of paper.
Just as a child is born
A child to mother
A poem to poet
Hold same meaning
Who can acclaim
That creation of a poem is
In any way, less than that of mother
A poet is a creator
Jitendra Kumar Soni
