A few days more, my love!

Hindi Version

A few days more, my love,
just a few days more
Under the shadows of injustice
we breathe, in duress sore

One tyranny more, we may suffer,
one more helpless cry
Slaves of a fraternal legacy,
helpless we live by

Bodies interned, emotions enchained
Thoughts captive, voice condemned
It’s our courage that we still carry on

Isn't life a shroud that the poor in life gain
That we darn, every second, with our pain?

Tyranny shall live now but not for long
Patience, a fervent plea, it won’t go on

In a wilderness singed with a life-time
We have to live, not just exist …

In alien hands, we tow
Oppression’s heavy plough
We endure, not forever more

This dirt of sorrow encased
In your enchanting beauty
Is a litany of our ephemeral
youth’s vanquished ways…

The wasteful grief of
ember-moonlit night's mystic trail
The listless quiver of the heart,
And bodies wistful wail …

A few days more, my love,
just a few days more ...
