Sitakant Mahapatra,
An Oriya poet of Orissa,
Orissan myth, populace, art, culture,
Thought, society and tradition,
...
He is editing a literary journal,
I mean a small magazine
To be a poet,
A critic,
...
Who is the maiden in the dark sunglasses,
A film actress or an artiste?
Who is she smiling in the goggles?
...
The daughter is dark,
but lovely,
tears are in her eyes,
you do not scold her
...
Aapka pyaar meri kavita,
Aapka pyaar
Meri kavita,
Ek baar muskura to do
...
Apni bibi ko cchupa ke,
Dusron ki bibi pe
Nazar na lagao.
...
I saw and fell in love with her,
At the first glance,
The first sight of hers,
Love was born between her and me,
...
Dom Moraes,
Whatever think you about you yourself,
But you not an Englishman,
But a Goan Christian.
...
Tomake man-mandire bosiye rakhte chai,
Niscchal hridyer bhalobasa theke dekhte chai
Man-mandire bosiye,
Keno je ami tomake eto bhalobasi,
...
Your words smack of your hollow and shallow living,
Your false tracks of modernity,
Modern age of vanity, ego and hypocrisy,
This materialistic living
...
