My Little Girl by Rosie Bourget
Hindi Translation by Rajnish Manga
मेरी नन्हीं बच्ची (मूल रचना: रोज़ी बॉरजेट)
हिंदी अनुवाद रजनीश मंगा द्वारा
मैं हैरान हूँ कि तुम कितनी जल्दी बड़ी हो गई हो
एक बातूनी छोटी सी, प्यारी सी बच्ची से
एक खूबसूरत, समझदार, दयालु,
सम्मानित और मेहनती युवती के रूप में.
मुझे अपने भाग्य पर यकीन नहीं होता कि तुम्हें मैंने
अपनी बेटी के रूप में पाया जो मेरी एक मित्र भी है
जो मेरे लिए बहुत मूल्यवान है और जिसे मैं दिल से चाहती हूँ.
मुझे पता है कि अब मैं तुम्हारा हाथ पकड़ कर हर सुबह
तुम्हें तुम्हारी क्लास तक नहीं ले जा सकती,
मगर मैं तुम्हें ज़िंदगी भर अपने कलेजे से लगा कर ज़रूर रखूंगी.

A lovely daughter is always little in the eyes of her father! In fact, she resides in the heart of her loving father! Rosie Bourget's words are perfectly presented through this wonderful piece of translation sir....loved reading this tender work in both the versions...10

The love of a mother towards her daughter has been so touchingly delineated by Rosie Bourget and it is well translated by you. I read the juxtaposition of original poem as well as your hindi translation. Really you have brilliant talent on translation in hindi language.
