‘Hurt’ is such a strange polythene bag
which never gets
dissolved into the earth’s crust
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- ऐसा अजीब पोलीथीन बैग एक चोट है
जो कभी नहीं हो पाता
धरती की सतह पर नष्ट
when burnt it exudes a pungent smell,
when left to itself
it pollutes the environment.
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- जब स्पर्श किया जाता है यह चीख जैसा शोर करता है,
जब जलाया जाता है यह तीखी गन्ध फैलाता है,
यह ज्यों को त्यों छोड़ दिया जाता है,
यह पर्यावरण को दूषित करता है।
Just like the polythene bag
his ‘hurt’ too melts down
o with a little touch of warmth.
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- बिल्कुल पोलीथीन बैग की तरह
उसकी चोट भी पिघल जाती है
थोड़ी सी गर्मी की स्पर्श में
But deep inside the grief’s garbage bin
far away from everyone’s gaze
the germs of the disease
keep on growing
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- किन्तु दु:ख के आन्तर्गत के कचरे दान में
हरेक की दृष्टि से बहूत दूर
रोगों के किटाणु
बढ़ना जारी रहते हैं।
The polythene bag
remains buried within
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- यह पोलीथीन बैग
भीतर दफनाया रहता है।
Only the pain caused by the ‘hurt
keeps coming back
again and again.
हिन्दी रूपांतरण :- मात्र उस चोट से उत्पन्न दर्द
बाहर निकलता रहता है
बार-बार।
