Hindi Poem by Gulzar
Translated by C.P. Ravikumar
With measured steps
When I walked and stood above
The Zero Line in Wagha
My shadow fell in Pakistan
And the Sun was behind me.
Then I saw him,
Standing in front of me -
My Abbu.
He touched his cane to the ground, smiled, and said –
“After I left that soil
I returned home.
I knew you would come to bid me goodbye.
They forgot to inform you about my end, didn't they? ”
He struck his cane on the ground a few times,
Forwarded his hand towards me and said –
“Come, let’s go to Dina.”
