Can someone find my entire being?
Can someone find my entire being?
my arms, my eyes, my face?
A river that falls in another sea
It is better if someone gets me my desert
I don't want any thing from you my life
Get me my childhood, my jugnu (need to find an English word), my doll
My vision does not accept a new season
Get me back my former dream
The eyes which can read me from within
Find such a face in my city
The boat of my life is in whirlpool for years
O god, please sink it now or bring it to the shore.

It is a nice poem and nice translation. One can understand the philosophy of love and life. Much more can be felt (not just understand) about the author's feelings. I liked it very much
