FIVE POEMS<br />

Alok Dhanwa<br />

Translated by<br />

Minu Manjari<br />

Train<br />

For every man there’s a train<br />

Which takes him towards his mother’s house<br />

Hooting and billowing smoke.<br />

Rivers<br />

Ichhamati and Meghana<br />

Mahananda<br />

Ravi and Jhelum<br />

Ganga, Godavari<br />

Narmada and Ghaghara.<br />

Even name taking hurts.<br />

We meet them only when<br />

They come in our way.<br />

And even then<br />

How little our mind goes to them
