Patradoot Or the Messenger 37 /Many

Patradoot or The Messenger 37 /Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor You will find my beloved, dear letter, Faded like the clouds full of water, Like after the night enjoyment dear, The woman appears in the morning. You will find her face pale, dear letter, And her steps would be heavy and slow, When you will notice these signs in her, She is in pregnancy, you will come to know. The gloom and paleness, on her face would have come, Because of her separation from me, in her pregnancy, Leaving her ornaments aside, dear letter, You would find only love and modesty in her. While beholding her beautiful lotus stem like hands, They would look without the glow of shine, due to gloom, When that lovely woman would appear before you, To greet and welcome you, dear letter. My beloved has not received any news about me, Since a long time, dear letter, While looking at her face You would watch, This Has weathered the natural glow of her beauty.

Hanji Bhaji, a nice piece by your late Father. He was a great man: honorable, courageous and a charming romantic. A wonderful translation, bro. He wrote the letter hoping one day it would be held and read by his beloved, your mother. I wish I understood Hindi so I could read this in it's original form.
