Nikki Jehi Kudi [English translation]

We went out for a tour in a jeep-like minded friends were having a great time.

We saw bushed on hills. Children clapped their hands on seeing us

At last we found the desired place in a shady spot

There was a hut on the top of bill. What a beautiful sight it was!

We sat atop the hill and looked around at God's creation.

Some were going to city, others just listening to wind's songs

Some wore turbans in style of Sartaaj.

and hang 'Sarpech' (an irani ornament) on it like Maharaja.

Dresses in our finery, we clicked pictures and later put them in our shows

Soon there was dust on spangled shoes and our shawls were caught in thorns

Wandering in jungle, I found a stick, I felt voice of a peahen pierce my heart

I felt I was taking buffaloes out to graze and watching towards sky to God

Coming back we brought the mercy of a little girl carrying a bundle of firewood

She had a polythene bag hanging on her arm, don't know where the poor girl got it from

She had a polythene bag hanging on her arm, don't know where the poor girl got it from

When we passe her she looked prettier than all the beautiful sights around her

We stopped our jeep for her, just to meet her and wish her

When she saw us he got scared and God know where she disappeared

Throwing her firewood and polythene bag she ran away fast, without meeting us

She thought we were probably those guys from whose fields she had gathered the firewood

I was wounded deep in the heart and we left seeing the firewood and polythene.

How happily she must have gathered theses treasures.

But now they were lying discarded on the path by that innocent girl.

I felt that I had committed some grave sin and then I fell silent.
