English Translation Of The Poem In Credits

17:30

Here is the English translation of the poem (By Late Dushyant Kumar) played in the credits of the documentary by Nikita Gupta.

"This pain that has frozen into a mountain must melt

A Ganga must erupt from this Himalayan belt

Like a thin fragile veil, this wall today shakes

But the wager was to make the foundation quake

In every village, every town, on every street, every alley

Hands waving in protest, every corpse must rally

Merely raising a hollow ruckus is not my intent

This situation must change; we must make a dent

If not in my bosom’s, then in your bosom’s urn

For it doesn’t matter where, but this fire must burn"

Thank you Nikita for such a beautiful translation. It leaves us spellbound and touched.
