Pig

PIG

Original: : Assamese: : Ratul Kumar Lahon
Translation attempt by: Bibekananda Choudhury

It happened only once
The boar avatar of God
It happened only once
Sepoy mutiny for pig fat
Barring that the pig is
Most despised animal

Plump body
Smelly enclosure
Hoarse voice
Food plate filled with leftovers
Just because it does not know anything except to eat
The pig is the most hated worst despised

Just because it is not obedient
A pig is not a companion of the climb to heaven
Or on a morning stroll
The pig cannot bear the weight of its master
It can't beautify the hut of the master
Its entry into the front courtyard is illegal
In a public meeting too
The ugly looking pig is banned
Everywhere in the struggle of life
Pig is condemned unwanted
Because pig knows only to gobble
It does not know anything

It is not a valiant fighter
In a battle preparation
In the practice run of social revolution
The pig is still missing
Pig hardly makes a character in literature
The moral lessons too are silent
In the misery of the pig
Because except gorging
A pig does not know anything

Pig is voracious
Pig is filthy
Pig is useless
Pig gobbles continuously like a pig
So all the calumny of the hell
Belongs to the pig

There is another being like a pig
That only devours and devours
They devour saying they are serving the public
They devour saying they are going to provide jobs to the unemployed
They graze from the royal abode to the brothel for food
If I scold them
In extreme agony and hate
Saying - You are a pigsty
Would you say
I am impolite indecent uncultured
