INLAND POST
¼varnsZ'kh;-- yhyk/kj txwM+h English translation by GP Bahuguna ½
Don't enclose anything in this letter
Neither your ideas nor your memories
No enclosures allowed in this letter.
Neither any impression of your relations
Nor the story of your troubles and grievances
Neither promises to meet again nor any communicable disease.
Neither your family lamentations nor your signatures even
Otherwise this letter may be censored.
No enclosures allowed in this letter.
Those without any shelter
Are the most suspects and helpless lot
On the face cover one side the name and address
Of the recipient
And on the other side the name of some sender must be there
The news demand care
No enclosures allowed in this letter.
The sender knows,
What has not been written
And the reader understands why it has not been written .
He can read even the blank sheet
even without a single alphabet in it.
Therefore don't enclose anything in this letter.
Do not insert anything in this letter.
Neither any explosive phrase,
Nor the news of your childbirth.
Neither news of a sudden demise
Nor paper bomb
Neither any reasonable argument
Nor any New Year greeting or an intension of
divorce
No enclosures allowed in this letter.
The total issue is the letter only.
Which the bloodless face of the postman carries
who will be castrated in the evening if returned
without delivery.
Translation into English by Govind Prasad Bahuguna
