Yesterday night I was there on a bus.
Road was jammed and was a muss.
Bus was empty, travelers were few.
Amidst the jam it crawled through.
Soon I got curious about two old chaps;
Sitting on seats marked 'for handicaps'.
They were different from common folk.
Without making any sound they spoke.
To talk some sign language they used.
I didn't understand and was confused.
Different facial expression they made.
Lips and hands moved, heads swayed.
With hand they wrote on other's hand.
They savvied but I didn't understand.
On the next stoppage halted the bus.
Holding each other both left without fuss.
I looked but my vision came to a naught;
Mind got occupied with their thought.
Many languages recognized and known.
But their language had beauty of its own.
See the pity..and you have painted so beautifully..their pain splashes on my soul i am feeling yet nice bhai :)
The deaf and dumb also have a language, may be different from ours! Still they are able to communicate their thoughts and they too converse in their own way! Journeying in a bus or train helps us to come across with people of different levels and type! Each bus journey is a new experience! Nice write!
Very nice poem about yesterday's bus journey. Very beautifully explained everything with proper vision and mark.
I love it! A great poem. Makes you want to get off the bus and follow those old guys to learn more about them.

I would like to translate this poem
you revealed world of beauty and peace in a rival world where people talking from heart their own you painted out in this how they are strong in their position as their eyes, in lips, and hands talk/ thanks to share
