Kavita 19 - The Colours Of Life Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Kavita 19 - The Colours Of Life

Rating: 5.0


The colours of life're so different
Somebody is happy with a little
Some are not content even in excess
Some resent their dear ones
Some live in pretensions.

Life is a strange game
Money plays the key role everywhere
Somebody loots his kith and kin
All the desires of the heart
Are broken to pieces like glass

Some are hungry, cry for crumbs of bread
While others sleep over money
Somebody is not happy even at home
Somebody happily sleeps on the road
I'm unable to fathom the intrigues of life
There is a new story wherever you turn.

This is a translation of the poem Zindagi Ke Rang....... by KAVITA SINGH

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this translation. You have no idea how many Poem Hunters are thankful you do this kind service. I would have missed the fragile beauty of these two lines- - - - - - All the desires of the heart Are broken to pieces like glass And I would have missed sharing and feeling this sentiment with our fellow traveler, Ms Kavita Singh- - - - - - I'm unable to fathom the intrigues of life There is a new story wherever you turn. You are such a good friend to PoemHubter and to me!

Hi Susan, I love Kavita's poems and could easily relate to them, their emotive energy.. So, I find easy to translate them into English. However, my Hindi is very poor. So attempting a translation from English to hindi is not my cup of tea. Whenever I try, I take the help of Kavita. And how do I express my gratitude to you Susie? For all these good words, all the encouragement give to me and of course to Kavita. Deeply obliged. If PH allowed, I would have rated your remark by a 100++++
