I AM BIRD WITHOUT NEST
¼ uhM+ghu ik[kh eSa yhyk/kj txwM+h English translation by GPBahuguna ½
Birds in the valley invoked evening
Each ray of the Sun made obeisance
A bough waved goodbye to the distant traveler
Each branch shook off gloominess of the lonely sky
Each post of horizon began to sip saffron wine.
The droning hymn of bees carrying nectar
made the breeze heavy.
The blue flags of night hung on the mountain peaks
Holding corners of sky at both ends
Rain of tears poured down all night on the bosom of earth
opening all secrets of the wounded heart
A homeless bird as I am
could read each syllable of hurt message.
Translation into English by Govind Prasad Bahuguna
