Childhood | Krishna Bhusan Bal



On my window of eyes,

Moves the silky drapes of reminiscences

Each flutter appears a rainbow in, but wipes off

Every blink blooms a rose and quickly withers

How tender were those pasts!

Where desires stood taller than mountains

How blissfully did the days went by!

Where I set off this grand journey from

Oh, the days like the beloved in cuddle

Who is not to let go away

Dawn caresses the mountain,

And left are the measly nostalgias

These merriments!

The past is the drop rolled down,

Unbarred from the eyelashes

 

The wake does not reveal real

As the orchard of exquisite reverie is

Though true, but the sand castle

Falls with nothing at awake

Only at present you are aware

Of the time glided from your clutch

The time stands furious bullish,

Once it escapes from hands

Leaving only a few reminiscences.


Original Poet : Krishna Bhusan Bal

Translated from the Nepali by Hem Bishwakarma


About the poet: 

Krishna Bhusan Bal was a Nepalese poet known primarily for simplifying poetry for its readers at a time when poets were inclined to grandiloquence. Carving emotions into words is considered to be one of Bal's most intricate qualities. Bal's personality is often compared to a poem, indifferent to race, caste, religion, and politics.
