Sultana Hazarika (poem)
POEM BY Dr. SULTANA HAZARIKA - INDIA
 
RIVER YOU FLOW 
 
The river singing and singing 
Pick up the greenery and distribute them.
The images of seal in the blue water
Red, white, small fish playing.
In the shadow light 
of the early morning.
With their sad eyes
To far infinity.
Some deer in the distance 
with the unborn child 
Planning to come to the earth. 
With the scent of bokul, Shewali 
Whole earth is fragmented.
In the middle of the fields in the distance 
The scent of the reaper's uplifted song.
To the sound of the flute 
The idea seems to be a safe world, 
But no, 
The chess of war must have played.
Smoke and fire are covered, 
Our luck nevertheless 
You flow, the river. 
Biography is our source 
of power and inspiration 
As long as you keep flowing.
Hopes will remain alive.
The tree will bloom flowers,
The humblebee will fly.
The earth will remain green.
