ଓଡ଼ିଆ କବିତା "ଛାତି" / TRANSLATED ENGLISH POEM "THE BOSOMS"

THE BOSOMS

Who has seen the niche

That's ever been a safe and obtrusive haven

For the bitterest tears and the hottest bleeding sweats,

That's ever been a proven opulence of fathomless patience;

That ever soaks as sponge

The showers of pain and undue retributions?

One must have the eyes to perceive

The the perennial cascades of tears

The suffocating chimneys of depression and doldrums

The incredible powers of tolerance of sufferance

And their corresponding excruciating and pathetic aftermaths......!

Still, it keeps smiling while sipping the hemlock of hostilities

To wrap up its pungent and awful tastes,

Like Hercules it keeps shouldering the burdens of the world

Without any audible groans or grumbles....!

As the bleeding soles alone can feel the aches of the penetrating nails

So are the grinding adversity 

absorbed unseen by the bosoms only

Under an interminable games of hide and seek forever........!

That which has been passing through the tempestuous weathers

Since birth silently accepting them as the inseparable parts of life

And treasuring them as the costliest wealth Days and nights together without any protest is universally called "The Bosoms".
