Manjul
Darkness of the Village
More than the people
The darkness of the house blubber fifty time more louder
The loneliness of the house
The desolation of the house
One such village
Where an aging mother lives
Without her grown young children
Where there are the wives of those youths
But the youths themselves are missing
Not only the desolation of the house
Also cries the desolation of the chautara
And cries the desolation of the forests
For whom did you bring
This democracy?
Only for your paltry selfishness!
More than the people, the process of the village
Cries fifty times louder
Darkness of each of their houses!
Translation: Keshab Sigdel
