No beginning, no end

 

My love does not have a beginning

Nor does it have an end.

I was born in this world

With a diamond armour of love, which was different.

 

I did not come here with a name,

Three or four aliases is what I brought

To this world.

 

I have romanced with fire,

Scarred as I was from light.

Assimilated in the whirlpool of darkness

I learned to recognise people.

 

I have earned praises aplenty,

Contempt as well in many eyes

Yet, I have loved love.

For I am fearless.

My love has no beginning, no end.

 

(Today is the birth anniversary of Sunil Gangopadhyay. Although, I never concurred with his political views, I was an admirer of his poems and his other literary works.

To mark the poet’s birthday, I have loosely translated one of his poems “Janmo hoy na, mrtiyu hoyna“. Hope you liked it).

P.S. I am taking my Alexa rank to the next level with Blogchatter. This is my fourth post.
