Yahan Here

Chepegi weh Kankal main apne Yuva chawi se baachkar Yahan dhansegi weh Santap main apney Atma se chip kar Noch dalegi Yahan vipikhsta Deh aur swapan Dundeghi weh Tinka bhar jagah Dusron ki kavita main Yahi weh pathar hai Jisey chantegi weh Ek jo machli hai Ek jo a-machli hai Dunbegi Dono hi Yahan Yahin par Here Here she will hide in her skeleton Escaping the assaults On her youthful beauty. Here she will bury herself Under her grief, Hiding from her soul. Here she will go through The ordeals of her body and dreams. She will look for a corner In the poetry of others. This is the stone That she will lick. The one that is a fish And the other, a fish without fins, Both will drown here. Right here. Note:telling here the plight of a married Indian woman. "Here" stands for the home where she lives in a joint family. The poem is full of metaphors, hard to put into English free verse.
