Before The Day Is Done Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Before The Day Is Done



Thought, let me my pockets check,
Check, things done and not, day on deck.

Let me check today's to-do list,
Let me miss not even the least,
In time to reinforce the bank,
Let me on my day's duties back.

Let me debit whatso I've lost,
See, mistakes made no more me cost.
Let me the depths of my mind wrack,
Let me go thru my duties' deck.

My grief and regrets on credit,
My happiness on the debit,
And then let me both of them check,
Before the day's done, ere I pack.

Lest, no promise is left in lurch,
The hurts imparted, left me search,
Let me all the entries made check,
Before the day's done, ere I pack.

Thank you so much Devanshu for the generous feedback. But it's rare that a translation is better than the original. Thank you any way.

Thank you, Mahtab Bangalee, great, you seem to know Gujarati as well! But I'm yet to hear from the original writer of this poem, and till then fingers crossed..
