Tanka poem
- Shreeram Stha
1.
Erasing existence
Moving forward
Became ash
Anger will finish us
Wise to bear .
2
Dust and smoke
Running in suffocating
Recalled village
Walking by pinching the nose
Suffocated shame too.
3.
Martyr gate
Standing statue
Forgetting ancestors
History won't be erased
Bravery must be worshipped .
4.
Bagbazar
In rush of job
Empitied the pocket
Lured to bet placed in gambling
Time became victim.
5.
Across the himalayas
Remembering pain and sorrows
Stream of tear
Hamlet covered with snow
Tied up dream .
6.
Milk of cow
Tasty to drink
Supposing to be mother
National animal
Worshipped everywhere .
7.
Singh of pine trees
Greenery forest
Strange music
Time of pindrop silence
Clasping darkness .
8.
Green meadow
Rolling over on the ground
In the bottom of valche
The nature climbed down
Dropping happiness.
9.
Easy way
Stopping while walking
Being clever
Bolt to obstruct the way
Move forward consciously .
- Trans.by Saroj Bogati
