I’m Walking In Delhi Streets… Poem by Nilufer Dursun

I’m walking in Delhi streets.

Taking my steps unconsciously

Little Indian girls are holding their hands out,

Crying, with naked feet,

They’re putting their feet on muddy land,



Sky lost it’s blueness once more

Got dark at mid day

No street lamps, completely dark

In a dark street, In their

Timplate houses hungry people…



Are talking about their troubles,

Loneliness, pain,

As if I’m able to understand,

I go away from,

Little beggar children of Delhi…



My eyes started filling with tears…

In the soil streets of Delhi

I’m alone once again, without you again

I’m walking slowly,

Hopolessly to my expectations…
