Seeing Nepal

A poem of Bhim Darshan Rokka

Translated in English by Maya Watson

Seeing Nepal

Seeing Nepal it seems familiar
in the morning its seems somewhere I've stepped in this
courtyard before
in my heart it seems
I've met this place in dreams,

Seeing Nepal it seems

A song has been sung from the ridge tops,
a path has wound down from the slopes,
in my heart it seems
at last the sweat of foreign lands has been wiped clean.

Seeing Nepal it seems

walking and walking at last I've reached the end,
come to the house I abandoned at dawn,
and how will I be able to go?
It seems these Himalays have blocked the road.
