A Little Frightened Is My Heart, A Hindi Poem By Raj Swami In English Translation
A little frightened
is my heart
Still it hopes
you will come
I've a lit a lamp
For your arrival
For me to be awake
Not to sleep waiting for you
I hope not to breathe my last
Before I see you for the last time
It is my last wish to show you my love
It is my last wish to pass away in peace
While telling those all around me -
How much I loved you all my life
I pray my waiting does not come to an
End before I see you for the last time.
Thank you Jean. I will edit all my translations of Hindi poems by Raj Swami and put his name in the titles of translations. It will be a full, deserving tribute to him. My translations do differ a bit from his original poems to which he does not mind. I like the poems written by this young man from India with his meager education; and today I posted two new translations of his poems.
This melts the heart with affection. Thank you Ravi for the translation. Please put Raj Swami's name in the title of the poem. I love it!

I read this again today, Raj. This is a beautiful prayer. It is my prayer too. I love it.
