Glow-Worm's Night/ Jugnuk Raat (Angika To English) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Glow-worm's Night

How beautiful is it to see the glow-worm
In a dark night
Glowing and blinking
It keeps beautifying the night,
Bedecking and decorating,
The glow-worm,
Glowing, blinking glow-worm!

The glow-worm's night,
Darker the night,
Nothing is but sensible, is but visible,
Darker the night,
The alley.

Jugnuk Raat

Jugnuk dekhik katana accha laage cche,
Andhakaar raat mei
Chamakala-chamakala, bhuk-bhaak jalala
Raat kei sundar karei cche,
Chamakawei cchei,
Jugnu,
Bhagajogini!

Jugnuk raat
Ghup andher raat,
Kucchu nei sujhhe cche, dikhe cche,
Andher raat,
Shuna pagdandi.
