Niskriti Translated As Finally Saved

Giant poet gem, Tagore’s story-poem: NISKRITI, Is a piazza perched paved and perfectly paced beauty; Scale model of a castle of vast poetic kingdom, That has spread into an empire of Indian wisdom! Manjulika is a dew-drop in the mighty ocean, Of the land of Bay of Bengal where feminine gender; Fulfills wants of men as mother, wife, daughter and labors, Less fulfilled of subtle cravings, in her heart she harbors! Nucleus firm; Malabika has solemnly sung it, Narration, like roots, stems, leafs, flowers, fruits of plants well-knit! Images complex extract emotions, expose like day light, Questions of destiny hang, like stars in dense dark sky, bright! Figures of speech, like hand-picked coffee-seeds, well chosen, And like gems and pearls in an ornament, fairly woven; With stones of words and verses flat, oval, blunt, round, pear, square, The edifice erected here is stern, solemn and somber! 05 December 2021 Inspired By A Translation Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Malabika Ray Choudhury
