MY POEM SAE'N KATH OR "OUR STORY"

OUR STORY

Can you chase shadows? Can you run after the wind ? If desires remain unfulfilled and turn icy , shall they warm up in exposure to external  sunshine  ?

And if the hammering downpour breaks open the roof  of the  dwelling and streams out  from the staircases , Which mud wall can withstand it.

My English rendering would be …….

We kept Chasing

Shadows and the wind.

During sunshine ,

These unfulfilled desires,

We hung on windows .

When the heavy torrent

Streamed down the stairs within

The dwelling,

The weak mud Wall

Got washed away..

…………………………….. And  then *Laleshwari Moved across the hill .

…………………………… While Our  *Reshi abandoned  Tsraar Town

Dragging and pulling ,

In this upheaval

The day was somehow passed out .

At times , we did perform miracles ,

Digging a well with elbow

Or passing a wooden pole

from a Chinar Tree Trunk .

A Palace we erected on a water Bubble

And then one day,

That all engulfing fire

Turned it to ash .

…………………………..In  the heap of ash ,

                              We now  try to retrieve

 some residual  charcoal pieces .

“ This piercing  cold is

  Out to knock life out of us,

A little warmth this way too “

“  In a Crematorium ,

Be careful with Your words “

A Place where  the attendant

 Pulls out red hot  charcoal for his Kangri

from the Burning Pyre.

 ………………………………….. Reveal not this to any person

                                                        This is the way of the world.
