6. THE PATH OF SORROWS
Get up now,
my dear pen.
A little while away,
you too have lost the walk .
No one with a companion, the one in
pain.
Hard destination, easy cut,
no effort. Let’s talk
both
ways.
And let love grow, and let us
wait: –
But let things be
full of pain .
Listen to the hearts of the helpless,
tears be shed.
Everyone in the
world speaks of happiness .
If he
says ‘Ji Aayaan Nu’ from somewhere .
(But) – to cover
everything up with a painful raid .
Eyes closed, eyes not visible,
ears ringing.
