Patradoot the Messenger 44 of 54

Patradoot The Messenger 44/ English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor How he sleeps, O dear letter without even a cot and bed Resting on a rough blanket, lying on the floor, and Who pats him, when he faces such tortures of the Jail life? When sleeps also does not come. He must be eating there, the tasteless dry foods of Jail, That too, without ever getting a chance to hear, The affectionate words, which makes a food, More delicious or tasty, when it comes from your love ones. O, please tell this also to me, dear letter, Does my husband ever remember his life companion and Does his eye ever get wet, while remembering, His dear wife, who is so much away from him. What message my dear husband has sent? Through you, O’ sweetest of all dear letter, What teachings, he has sent through you? To tell his loving wife, please tell me, O dear letter. Do not think an Indian woman, To be a weaker sex only, dear letter, She may sacrifices her life, for the one, Whom she makes her life partner, dear letter. Ravindra to continue in 45..
