Excerpts from the poem "Andhere Mein" by Muktibodh
lyrics
“cross the mountain-joint’s abyss,
by the rope bridge
reach the far pinnacle on your own”.
but brother, I do not wish these crossings between pinnacles,
i fear heights;
let the chains beat against the gate!!
let the bubbles of protest rise in the void
those people… they will leave as they came .
in the darkness of the pit will i lie,
wallowing in my misery!!
what should I do and avoid doing, tell me.
in this null set swims a universal discernment
of his being
(I cannot bear it)
The great piercing distress
in that null’s interior (I cannot bear it)
In the dark he illuminates my shape as if giving me the map to my future
no, no,I cannot bear it. I cannot leave him,
no matter what I have to go through
unadorned is the way, strange the expanse,
cold twilight.
with languid eyes I gaze at the world, the
sad stars.
each time the thoughts, the grief and the reflection
causing that rising pain and as if from far
away, over there
the shadowed peepal tree keeps vigil.
in those unmixing swirls of atmosphere
the dogs’s faraway isolated barks,
colliding with the echoing calls of the jackal.
distances shiver, intervals reverberate
outside, there is no one; no one outside
