RAJASTHANI POEM: BY JITENDER KUMAR SONI (EMINENT BI LINGUAL POET AND I.A.S.Officer
TRANS-CREATION INTO ENGLISH: BY RAJNI CHHABRA
Dreams of Father Sitting on Footpath
In mid of road
Sitting on footpath
Dreams of father
Turned into bricks
This whole thought process
Absorbed into thought of a room
After ,a room is built
Her young daughters
Clad in worn out clothes
Won’t be visible to anybody
It won’t be visible to anybody
That they satisfy their hunger
By drinking water only.
Roofs and walls
Can hide their
Many miseries
People dwelling in palaces
Will never gather this notion
Worth of four walls
With roof overhead
Can be appreciated by
An old father only
Sitting under canopy of sky.
