Dreamers

Kalpna Singh-Chitnis

We continue to dream
on sleepless nights,

clenching stars in our fists,

somewhere in the middle of nowhere,



across a fence,
across the borders
across the oceans.



The sun no longer rises in the east

and sets in the west,
the earth moves backwards
and trips over...

the world is only upside down
when they think,
they are atop the sky.


जो देखते हैं स्वप्न

हम फिर भी देखते हैं स्वप्न,
बिना नींद के, अँधेरी रातों में,
सितारों को अपनी मुट्ठी में जकड़े

दूर कहीं, किसी वीराने में,

कंटीले बाड़ों के उस पार,
उनकी सरहदों
और समुद्रों से दूर
,


सूरज अब नहीं उगता पूरब में
नाहीं डूबता है पछिम में
भ्रमित पृथ्वी चलती है
उलटे पांव
...

और जब औंधे मुंह गिरती है
,
आसमान से भी ऊपर होने का
उन्हें होता है भरम।
