Patradoot or The Messenger31 /Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor You would find, the inhabitants of this lovely place, Lives a happy cultured life here, While singing the joyous songs, every day, In praise of our motherland, dear letter. All my friends would gather, the moment they would know, You are enquiring my address, some where very near to my place, Here you would witness the sign of pain and the feelings of separation, And watching their face, you would find their eyes full of tears, Dear letter. With cheerful anxiety they would ask, From where you have come, O dear letter, And why you are enquiring, please tell us? The name of our friend’s beloved, O dear. What letter you have brought, From our friend’s place, And what message our friend has sent? For his dear friends, from the jail, dear letter. Tell my friends, O dear letter, That your companion is happy in jail, And has given the message for you, That victory will soon be with us. Tears of happiness would come out from their eyes, And they would embrace you in love, dear letter, Without wasting even a moment, they would bring you, To the house, where lives my beloved wife, O dear.
