Lucknow

Even then you do smile! Solely, hurt, wearied, So calm, So diffident, Even then you do smile! Embroiled in a whirlpool Of hopes and despairs, Life to ye seems, So futile a striving, Limping staggering steps, So incorrigible, Even then you do smile! A deep seated pang, So dark ’n shrouded in your bosom, Even then ye do smile! Moment after Moment, Sweet laughter of yours So ecstatic embedded in, Deep sighs so engulfing’n Clamouring wails so touching, Unbelievable though, Yet ye conceal your, Wounds so profound! Even then ye do smile! Solely, hurt ’n wearied, So calm, So diffident, Even then ye do smile! Translated from Hindi by Ranvir Singh Lectu
