Patradoot Or the Messenger 13/Many

Patradoot or The Messenger13 /Many

English version by
Ravindra K Kapoor


Such enchanting beauty, you would find every where in India,

By seeing only such alluring charms, do not get lost,  

As your mind may get filled with an intoxicating pleasure,

But remember dear, you have to deliver my message to my beloved.



Way ahead,  the lovely method of Rahut * by which

The farmers irrigate their fields,  would attract you,

And listening the Corus, sung by village girls,

Would pour honey like nectar, in your ears.


Ravindra

Kanpur India 28th May 2010.


* Rahut.  Persian wheel for drawing water from wells.

Patradoot in Hindi written by my father late
Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor in 1932, when he was imprisoned
by the British, as he was fighting for India's freedom 
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. After India’s
independence as a true follower of Gandhi Dr. Amar Nath 
Kapoor left active politics and devoted rest of his life in 
writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas, 
Poetry books, epics. All his other literary 
works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990. 
He left this mortal world in 1994.
