Pinjre ke panchhee re
Teraa dard naa jaaṇe koi
Baahar se to khaamosh rahe too
bheetar bheetar roee re
Keh naa sake too
apnee kahaanee
Teree bhee panchhee
kyaa zindagaanee re
Vidhi ne teree kathaa likhee hai
Aȧsoo mė kalam ḍuboi
Chupke chupke rone vaale
rakhnaa chhipaa ke dil ke chhaale re
Ye patthar kaa desh hai pagle
koee na teraa hoi
O caged bird, no one knows your pains and suffering. Outwardly you appear silent, but inwardly, you weep bitterly.
You cannot tell your story to anyone. What really is life for you? Your life’s story was written with the ink of tears.
Quietly you cry and hide the blisters of your heart. This land is filled with stonehearted persons. No one really cares for anyone else.
Naag Mani (1957); Ramchandra Baryanji Dwivedi (Kavi Pradeep)
