AGONY OF REVERIES

(YADAAN REE PEEDH) Composed in Rjasthani By Dr. Ravi Purohit

AGONY OF REVERIES Translated into English by Rajni Chhabra

Every time
With mention of your name
Wounds of my heart
Turn afresh
As if
Somebody has
Scratched sappy bruises
Abruptly due to rubbing it
Flows pain of reveries
Drenches, makes sticky
My eyes
My body and soul.

From utterly dry eyes
Starts flowing
Affection of gone days
Drainage of agony
Turns into gurgling streams

I bear
Overflow of your reveries
Innumerable, unfathomable
Still, I am at loss to know
Why this mind of mine
Is reluctant to obliterate you.
All preachings are in vain…..!
