Patradoot Or the Messenger 35 /Many

Patradoot or the Messenger 35/Many………. English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor The moment she would notice during her plays, She would shout ‘ltter’ ‘ltter’* in her broken voice, Showing the expressions of amazing happiness, dear letter, Because you would be arriving, from her father’s place, dear. Her innocence would come out from her expressions, And from the melody of her broken words, dear, When, she in her lisping sweet and broken voice, Would express her affection for her father, dear letter. While adoring and loving you in her sweet little mind, She would take you towards east, dear letter, To tell her mother that you have come, she would, Convey that in her broken sweet words to her mother. Filled with the happiness given by the girl child, In the garden, you keep moving towards the door, Till you reach and see my beloved sitting there, Singing a lullaby for her darling child, dear letter. Keeping her eyes on the front door with hopes, She was praying for me from police atrocities, With wishes and hopes in her mind, dear letter, She would be waiting with love in her eyes for me.
