Changes
Kavita Kosh से
सोचता हुआ बीत गया है पिछला समय
ये सर्दियाँ क्यों होगी मेरे लिए पहले जैसी कठोर
'''लीजिए, अब यही कविता अँग्रेज़ी में पढ़िए'''
Mangalesh Dabral
THIS WINTER
Last winter was difficult
Remembering it I shiver this winter
Though the days are not so severe
Last winter mother departed
A love letter went missing a job was lost
I don’t know where I wandered in the nights
The many telephone calls I made
My own things kept falling
All over me
This season I unpack the clothes worn last year
—Blankets cap socks a muffler—
I gaze at them intently
Sure that those days are past
This winter can’t really be as hard.
(Translated from Hindi by Asad Zaidi)
