unpleasant incident

Bikal

Translated from NepaliRead the original

I stand again in the most difficult time of life,
I am fighting with my own shadow these days.
After the loss of a beloved, the world of the mind is broken,
I am lonely even in the crowd of relatives.

All those who were called his own became like strangers,
The flowers of the relationship became like thorns.
A mother is love’s last June,
I have lived by his blessings.

Struggle every morning, weariness every evening,
Dreams unfulfilled, eyes empty.
I tried to do something, but I couldn’t do anything.
I didn’t give up, but I couldn’t win either.

I am silent, but the storm is going on in my heart,
I laugh, but the pain is falling from my eyes.
How long will I carry the burden of this life?
How long will I stop my own existence?

Maybe my story doesn’t end there,
This silent pain can never be put into words.
As long as I suffer all this,
Unless something untoward happens on my own.
