at every step
she is stricken with anguish and suffering
with the solitude of the victim
weeping and sobbing
she returns to her den
to say farewell
to trees and flowers
to say farewell
to the deep, slow moving river of solitude
to say farewell
to the fast fading shadows
of the helpless wilderness !
Translation of poetry from Harjeet Singh Gill, Sufi Rhythms. Interpreted in free verse (Patiala: Punjabi University, 2007), p 153.
